What do you think is the slickest tallow soap? I mean, so slippery that you can't hold on to the brush or razor.
What's the slickest tallow soap?

MWF gets my vote.
Mike's Natural would be second.

Stiriling is the slickest I've tried. I found it slicker than Mike's
Speick? I think it is slicker than the Fat and Tabac.
Strop Shoppe Special Edition tallow soaps are the slickest soaps I have ever used. I have shaved with pretty much every popular name in the wet shaving world (barring some of the super expensive stuff) including QCS, Mystic Waters, Mike's, MWF, various formulations of Razorock, VDH, Mama Bear's, Trumper, TFH, TOBS, Proraso, MdC, Pre de Provence, and various others. Strop Shoppe soaps are the slickest of the lot.
I keep numerous soaps in rotation (I like variety) but there will ALWAYS be some form of Strop Shoppe soap in rotation so long as it is available to me.
Behind the Strop Shoppe tallow soaps, I would say it is a tie between Mystic Waters and Mike's as the slickest.

The Fat
Another for Sterling
Tabac
My experience thus far includes Tabac, DR Harris, Proraso, Williams, Verguild Hand, QCS, RR Mudder Focker and MB.
But I tried the Fat for the first time yesterday ... OMG it was the slickest lather I've ever had.

It's not tallow that provides the slickness, I think tallow soaps with a high glycerine content would be slick. The slickest soaps I've tried were not tallow based soaps.
I think Speick is fairly slick, more so than Tabac. I'll be trying Strop Shoppe Special Tallow edition in 2 weeks, based on the reviews, I'm hoping it will be a top performer.

Thanks to every one whose answer lists the soaps used in the ranking.
Scots Pine from Stirling of course. I think those saying otherwise might not have tried it yet. If there was a mechanical way to measure slickness, our mileage wouldnt vary.
I received a free puck of St Charles Shave soap when I placed an order with them for AS. I have to say that I am really enjoying this soap. I've used it to face lather (which I never do) the past two morning and had a very smooth shave both mornings.
Tabac is my #1. I just recently got into it with Martin de Candre being my old #1 but Tabac creates just a all around slick creamy perfect lather with the best after face feel I have ever felt with a lot of soaps under my belt. Try Tabac (;
