What's your best performing hard soap?

[Member357]

Another vote for MWF. Glorious stuff!

 

[pipskicks]

Vostok, with Mystic Water soaps in 2nd.

Art of Shaving Sandalwood is a fine fall and winter fragrance. The AOS is arguably one of the finest soaps being made today.

AOS soaps are top notch.

I think the best hard soap I have is the Ralph Lauren Safari; it is certainly the most enjoyable. It's been out of production for many years, though. Too bad, it's a terrific shave soap of the old style.

MWF. Man, I need to give AOS a try soon, though.

 

[Dusty1]

MWF is **** in my book

 

[texaninkc]

you can't go wrong with Harris Arlington or any of the scents of AOS. truly some great stuff....





unless of course if you get some Yardley or any of the older tallow GFT or Pens.

 

[Scritchnscrub]

La Toja Manantiales or shave stick
AOS Sandalwood
Tabac - though I can't handle the scent

 

[Rivguy]

I will agree with those who list MWF, DR Harris Arlington an Marlborough, Tabac and PS green tea as top performers. I also find that RL Safari is a fantastic tallow rich soap as well.

Regards,

MdC hands down my favorite. MWF is my next choice.

 

[Scritchnscrub]

I would have included MdC as well but I don't consider it a hard soap - just a little softer than that.

MdC hands down my favorite. MWF is my next choice.

MWF, Pre de Provence, C&E Sienna, and Benton Clay Vetiver are all staples in my hard soap garage. All of them are luxurious, and the scents are great as well.

 

[alfbacca]

I would have to say that for me it's Arlington, followed by Tabac.

 

[dom1357]

can't go wrong with tabac. avoid the caswell massey sandalwood. I love the smell, but unfortunately no matter what you do and what you use, boar or badger, you are not getting good lather with it.

 

[tempusfugit]

Also Muhle Sea Buckthorn is a wonderful soap that stays under the radar around here

+1 for the Muhle. I find it takes a bit more effort to lather than some soaps, but it's worth the effort.

 

[Cochese2323]

Tabac for me. It is what I judge all others against. MWF is really good too and I love how soft it leaves my skin, but I have hard water and sometimes just can't get the lather right. I can lather Tabac with my eyes closed and I like its scent.

 

[LittleLebowski]

MWF. AOS sandalwood isn't bad and Joris deserves an honorable mention but MWF is my desert island soap.

I am surprised at the lack of talk about Joris. Smells wonderful, lathers great, economical.

 

[brucered]

the only ones i have (outside vintage williams and La Toja in wood bowl) are Provence Sante Green Tea, MWF and DR Harris Arlington.

all of which are wonderful.

Institut Karite. I like MWF a lot but IK is my go-to soap
