Soaps that I'm quite happy with

I haven't tried the Palmolive but each of the other four i'd be content to use all the time. The two Prorasos represent 100% of the soaps i currently own, i have a tub of another brand of cream to round things out.

Palmolive is an excellent, no-frills, low-cost soap. It's a shame that it isn't sold here in the USA. In my experience, it performs very well in both hard and soft water. I also really like the blue Wilkinson Sword stick, though the Wilkie is a little more costly for basically the same performance with a slightly more enjoyable scent (though both smell fine).
 
Soaps I'm very happy with:

Top of my list is CBL Premium Soaps: Outlaw, Norse Spice, & Fresh Vetiver are my favorites.

Next on my list is Mikes Natural Soaps: Barbershop, & Orange/Black Pepper/Cedarwood

Others that certainly deserve consideration are PdP, Haslinger, & MWF
 
As of now, my favorites are as follows:

Noble Otter = The Noir Et Vanille, Flying Hide, Lonestar
Crown & Crane = Cognac & Cubans, Tobacco Leaf & Amber
Murphy & McNeil = Trinity, Mandate of Heaven
Phoenix and Beau = Spitfire, Whitechapel
Stirling = Executive Man, Island Man

Mitchell's Wool Fat
Palmolive Classic

I'm beginning to wonder why bother with anything else.

Haslinger Schafmilch is a good MWF substitute, if your water doesn't want to play nice with the real thing.
 
My 5 favorite soaps:
Harris Almond (out of 5 DRH I've had)
Captain's Choice North (bay rum my #2 CC)
Stirling MITA (out of 15-20 I've tried)
SRD Opus X (discontinued, so used sparingly)
SRD West Indies Bay (discontinued, so used sparingly)
 
Great thread idea...

Tallow & Steel v2 base.
Declaration Grooming bison base.
WK Buffalo base.
B&M Excelsior base.
Sudsy Soapery non-tallow base.
Grooming Dept. I am starting to appreciate this brand, if only they weren't always sold out, I would try more bases and scents. Hopefully the availability also improves in time.
 
I’ve got many I enjoy but, over time, MdC and the legacy Declaration bison base have risen to the top in my den.
