This actually sounds awesome my friend!

I hoard Tabac, MWF, and arko. To me, those are the necessary soaps for my shave den. Reasonably priced, great lather, last a very long time and HARD SOAPS.
I also have a lot of TOBs, just many different scents. TOBs is also required in my shave den.
Yep, I have a PAA addiction problem. This soap is pure luxury...PAA has it all for indulgence. PAA is very premium quality lather, the scents are ridiculous good, the matching splashes are incredible, and PAA has so much character. I know, I know, the price increases have not been kind but addictions are addictions uhg. I cannot help myself...Cavendish, Dapper Doc, Chocolate Bourban come on man !

Stirling has so many great scents. Varen is one of my favourites. Not only from Stirling. One of my favourites overall as far as fragrances are concerned. I have the entire Varen line up. All the products perform as well as they smell.
I used to hoard B&M Omnibus (42 & Amazelnut). Now I am hoarding HAGS Guinness soaps. The HAGS website says Facelift and Ficus Carica are discontinued, but you can still get them at some retailers and I like the scents of them, not to mention the performance, which is great and reminiscent somehow of Omnibus.
Vitos Red Coconut 1 Kilo, it was only $18 with free shipping
This. This is all that needs to be said...
I think I have half dozen SV scented soaps. All are good.
I see that PAA has so many types and the descriptions are too artistic for my little pee brain to handle.
Which of theirs would you recommend for a first-time try?
For me, it's probably Penhaligon's tallow-based English Fern.
Second on the list is the Art of Shaving tallow soaps.
The English Fern is my favorite, by far.

It's so difficult to recommend scents because it's so subjective. My recommendation on scent is to order their frag samples and see what you like, that's what I did. Their site does let you filter/sort fragrances by scent type. They describe all the notes in their scents as well, and they are very accurate. Both of their soap bases are good as well, you can't go wrong with either.
My three favorites from them so far are their unique scents.
1. Dapper Doc - Amazing lilac scent with fig to tame the floral a bit. It's an amazing scent
2. Cavendish - A very sweet tobacco scent
3. Chocolate Bourbon - It's exactly as described
Their CaD is fantastic "barbershop" scent, that is a take on traditional barbasol. If you like peach, their immortal peach is incredible. The Beach is also fantastic for those summer scents of the beach. I haven't been disappointed in any scent, and they have something for everyone.
I wish I had hoarded Amazel nut, I love that scent.
I have more Ethos than any other soap. It's the best soap of any I've used. Of all the Ethos offerings, my personal favorite is Lavender.
Not OP but Atomic Age Bay Rum or Future Fiction would be my recommendations.
Stirling assorted flavors, mostly sheep.
Thanks for the suggestions!
