So - instead of doing work - I've put together an unscientific summary of the first 46 replies. I only counted manufacturers/labels and each person only got one vote per manufacturer. (So if you put MdC down 4 times, it still only was counted once.)
57 different manufacturers. 19 were mentioned once and 11 were mentioned twice. Here are the remaining manufacturers:

Haven't had a huge list of soap but Catie's bubbles LPV is my favorite so far, the performance is great but the smell is amazing!
- La Toja (Spanish any season)
- Zartgefühl Rasierseife Ziegenbart (German - for winter)
- Dr. Dittmar Olive oil Shaving soap (German - any season)
- Lea Classic (Spanish - any season)
- Boots shaving stick or shaving bowl (British chemists Chain - any season). Joint 5th would be Erasmic shaving stick (another British product) and Palmolive stick.

Since I posted I have been using Haslinger Honig.
It definitely gets a place in my top 5.
