greetings. I am sorry if this has been covered - I’ve been lurking and searching for a while, but did not find anything that quite covered my inquiry. If there were a fistfull of ‘essential’ soaps a relative newcomer should become at least passingly familiar with, what do you think would make the cut?
I’ve seen lots of recommendations for good soaps, and the same names keep popping up, so I figured i’d try those several first.
In no particular order, I submit some observations from a newcomers perspective;
Proraso
Arko
Mitchell’s wool fat
Taylor of old bond street
D. R. Harris
Tabac
No other names come up more often than these. Be it here, or elsewhere on the web these seem to be the common ‘go to’ shave soaps that everyone is aware of, and often get recommended to us new folks.
So how about it? Am I leaving any essentials out? I am sure there are ‘better’ options, and I’ll get to those in days to come, but for now I am more interested in the basic staples that form the common basis.
