What are you most interested in? Soap/Cream edition

[jzuzphreek]

Tell me your most favoritest soaps/creams. Brands, scents, etc. I'm NOT interested in aftershave pairings... at least not yet. Try to list at least 12 but less than 24. The key here is participation. You can list 12 different scents for one brand, or 24 different brands. You can list things you love and use every day, or things you've never tried but would be willing to acquire. I've tried to kick this off below. I don't necessarily love everything I've listed; it's a mixture of things I've tried, and things I think I need to give another chance, and things I absolutely can't live without.


For me, I'd say:

Valobra Stick
TOBS Sandalwood Soap
TOBS Mr. Taylor's Cream
Arko Stick
C.O. Bigelow Cream
Mikes Natural (Any scent)
Stirling (Any scent)
D.R. Harris Arlington Soap
Tabac
Palmolive Euro Stick
QED Special 218
Speick Stick
Godrej Cream
AoS Sandalwood Cream

Let's hear 'em. I'm gonna have this thread closed next Monday, then kick off some others. This may or may not go towards helping build out the Item of the Week threads next year.

Sarimento, can you elaborate on SMN and Boelis Panama? I'm not sure what those are.

Jessy, those are a couple fancy Italianos. Santa Maria Novella.
and Boelis is another, Joe in Canada sells it here.

In fact, you might reach out to some of the vendors with broad lines, to get their ideas, which I'm sure they will have many!

Thanks for taking the time to stir up interest!
