Top 3 soaps

[Jack Bauer]

I saw this for brushes awhile back and since I am just getting started with shaving soaps (1st shave with QED stick today and I love it) I was wondering what are your top 3 favorite soaps? I want to know brand and scent. Is there one soap out there that you clearly like better?

Mama Bear Spicey Lime, Mama Bear Sandalwood Vanilla, Mama Bear Rosemary & Lime. Did I mention Mama Bear?

This list may change soon as Mama Bear is sending me some new scents

 

[moses]

Honeybee. Bay Rum. Fantastic soap, and I love the mild warm spicy comfortable scent of her Bay Rum.

QED. You have to try the Sandlewood. Also love the Pine & Cedar, but can burn slightly if your skin is sensitive to the oils in it.

Honeybee Spa YAZU & Lime & Green tea Are MUST haves!

 

[russellnyc]

AoS Lavender
Trimper Violet

Those are the only two I can deal with so far!

 

[TraderJoe]

Not necessarily in this order (too early to say yet)

Arko Shave Stick - only one scent
QED - P/TT/P (but they're all great )
Olivia - King Kong
Crema Cella Sapone - only one scent
Mama Bear - Rosemary Mint
AOS - sandalwood

 

[rustyblade]

Kent
Floris
T&H

In that order.

For me, top shelf soaps are better than "cheap" soaps.

When it comes to creams though, I find a lot of "cheap" creams to be just as good as expensive ones. Except for Floris creams.

Is there anywhere to buy the Will G shave soap? I couldn't find it on ebay.

Chris,

Will was diagnosed with terminal cancer. I have not seen any updates as to his condition or prognosis, but at the time it was announced, it appeared that his time was short. God bless he and his family.

Not at this time. But if it helps, Will G was a customer of Honeybee- Spa before making his own soaps. I assume he was inspired by the Honeybee Shea Butter shaving soap in the creation of his own. Although I never tried the Will G soap, I bet it was a very good soap.

My vote for the best soaps available would be:

Honeybee-Spa Shae Butter shaving soap in any fragrance.

 

[tanker]

Any three of the Honeybee soaps. This stuff is great!
