For those who’ve had the opportunity to use both...
Is there a big improvement in the CK-6 soap base vs the previous one?
Considering there’s quite a significant price difference...

I find the CK-6 to have more slickness than the original Crown King formula. Confession: I do prefer the CK-6 to Martin de Candre because it is richer, or more creamy, and I personally love PAA scents. But please keep in mind that judging a soap is subjective.
Now, is there a difference between the two formulas... probably, but not big. The original CK formula was already excellent to begin with. The CK-6 is an improvement, but the % increase in performance does not mirror the % increase in price.
What justifies the increase in price are the costs of the raw materials used to make the CK-6, I think.
An interesting experiment would be to check if the CK-6 needs less soap to build a lather. (I will have to try to figure that out.)
Started a sample of Blackship Grooming's Captains Pipe today. Nice lather, not to sweet and not super strong scent. I like the stronger strength of Spitfire.

Never tried Spitfire, is it similar scent but stronger?
Yes, as I recall it.

Excellent soap! Nice leathery tobacco scent and creamy slick lather! Love this (5.5/10 strength) masculine scent!
FOCS razor on the Yaqi handle feels better and paired with the blade gives a fantastic shave!! Crisply smooth and so comfortable for 3passes for a mostly bbs result. Good blade + good razor = Great combo!

2nd use of this soap and man...the scent is really something. It's lasting too as I can still smell it a few hours later. I am liking it more & more. Performance is okok only.
Best ever shave with this vintage razor and blade pairing. Very crisp, felt so smooth and comfortable. 3passes at setting 9-9-7 for a very close mostly bbs result. The pleasure was enhanced by the aftershave...really wow!

I have the Whiskey Woods too but I am now very interested in Shannon's Lit. Can you tell what it's like? Tobacco?Shannon's lit and club man's whiskey woods

My personal opinion...I have Space Nog in CK-6 and I have Atomic Age Bay Rum and Classico Bay Rum in their regular CK formula. There is a difference in slickness...no question, CK-6 being slicker...but I prefer the regular CK formula. It's just a personal preference. They're both good though. PAA has become one of my favorite soap artisans.
Very smoky with some tobacco. It won't be everybody's favorite but it is smoky

New cigar soap! From the tub...too mild but can detect something aromatic. The actual scent only comes out during lathering and ohhh my..very nice...aromatic cigar scent..though abit too mild for my nose. Struggled to get more... the performance was good.
Shave with razor paired with the blade was ok. Mostly smooth and comfortable for 3passes for a bbs to dfs result without any issues. The light cigarish scent remains after rinsing...very nice. Wish I had gotten the balm too so the scent can last longer
Hmmm...this soap jumps up to my number 3 fav of tobacco/cigar soaps...
