I traded for some MB Aromatic Pipe Tobacco. An interesting scent. What really blew me away though was the volume of the lather. With under 10 seconds of loading, I had enough thick lather for my 3 passes, and probably another 3 left in the scuttle! The scent lingers well too, I can still smell it after 2 hours. Skin feels very nice too.
Tried Mama Bear for the first time

I love Sue's products! 
Agreed, good stuff.
Mama Bear makes great stuff. You're right, it is also easy to lather.
Try Ye Olde Barbershoppe. By far one of the best winter scents I've ever used. My nose says vanilla musk but ymmv.
Dragon's Blood. With a name like that, it's got to be good! And it is!
Dragons blood and Pheonix rising have always been my two favorite scents.
Actually Sue has said on here that her Dragon's Blood shave soap was her most problematic product as it caused severe irritation and allergic reactions in a small minority of her customers. I don't know if she has since reformulated it but that tidbit would be good to know before ordering. I would gladly use any other of her formulations but I don't know about Dragon's Blood with the comments made on here about it.
Sue makes a great soap, I love Vanilla Musk.
I like the Lime Cilantro ice! It's like a fizzy margarita on your face.
This should tell you something about how much I like Mama Bear's products: I wanted to buy my stepfather one "luxury" fancy soap for his wet shaving starter kit. Instead of buying MWF in the ceramic bowl or D R Harris Arlington in the mahogany bowl...I went with a Mama Bear's Dublin Tweed(in her lovely wooden bowl). Yes, I would put her products against anything out there. Same way I feel about Proraso...you can buy something more expensive, but you can't buy something better.
I'm a big fan of Mama Bear soaps. I try to load up on her bath soaps as well as the shaving soaps. I thought about switching to her new, smaller pucks so I could go through the different soaps faster. Instead I guess I'll just add to my shaveapocolypse stash.
+1 - I tried Orange Orange and Energy as bath soaps. I am looking forward to getting them as shaving soaps, but just ordered 5 full sized pucks of other fragrances.
It wasn't easy for me to load her soaps at first but I've gotten the hang of it. It's definitely a thirsty soap.
I love the Andy's mint which I've used the most. I've used the ocean rain once and today I'm gonna try the dragons blood.
