These are always fun to read and bad for those of us with SAD. Which soaps would you considered underrated or overlooked, the hidden gems and the secret weapons? Maybe it's the soap you don't tell others about in case it sells out.
My choice for an overlooked soap is The Copper Hat Shave Soap. It's a hard puck by a Canadian artisan and as such is a point of pride for me to use whenever I do. The ingredient list is pretty nice and their scent offerings are great. The soap lasts a long time and performs beautifully for me. Twisted Lime and Shaved Ice will certainly be in my rotation this summer.
An additional mention goes out to the Fendrihan soaps, particularly Robusto and Coconut & Vanilla. Don't knock the house brand soap, it's terrific. When they restock the latter I will be purchasing more.
Lastly I want to mention Henri et Victoria. I'm fortunate enough to live very close to Gatineau, QC where this artisan is located and as such their excellent products are never out of reach. This is another case where I have yet to find a scent from them that I do not like. The formula is simple, but the soap is tremendous. I do wish the prices hadn't been raised on this soap but such is life, it's still worth the money to me.
My soap tastes tend to stick with the classics and the mass produced stuff (man cannot live on Arko alone but he does try), but every now and then it's nice to break out the artisan soap to switch it up. We're spoiled for choice friends, it's a wonderful world of soap out there.
