Let's make it tougher, Top Soap Brand

Mystic waters is very good too. Something I think I'll always have and in multiple scents too. I LOVE Michelle's floral scents.

... But sometimes it's just too finicky and I want a grab and go tub.

I know what you mean. I have tried MW before and I do appreciate the scents, but for me (and I mean for me) I find it difficult to produce a consistent lather. When I got it right, it was a wonderful product, and when I didn't it wasn't pretty. As a primarily SR user, I need easy to reproduce results whether at 3 in the afternoon, or bleary eyed at 3:45 in the morning.


BTW, I used my Catie's Bubbles today (the luxury cream soaps) and it was a wonderful shave. Slick, cushioning and a dream to build lather with. I've never used Catie's before and have no idea how these two compare to their regular soaps but these are a winner in my book!

Artisan would be B & M , no doubt about it. If mass produced, I'd pick king Tabac.

Its a tossup between Soap Commander and Reef Point. I love the scents, performance, and the customer service of both companies and cannot choose between them. Soap Commander gets the nod over Reef Point for the sheer value of product/price and Reef Point is the company I believe I have the most artisan soaps/balms/aftershaves from. Both are very very strong.

Barrister & Mann.

The scents are often not for me, and the ones that are for me are no longer in production, the soap quality is simply in a class of it's own, although I recently tried the new formulation of Sire Hare and I may have to put it in the B&M level of quality.

Barrister & Mann hands down! My all time favorite soap is Dickens limited.

While I am not a fan of CRSW's scents overall, the original Vetiver (I hink it may be back) is an awesome vetiver.

Are you referring to the Vetiver Moderne? If you like that scent you might love a fragrance by Atelier Cologne. Vetiver Fatal it is called. Have you tried it? It has a similar mix of vetiver and plum.

Forgive me for eavesdropping... I adore Vetiver Moderne, and now I am in hot pursuit of AC Vetiver Fatal. Many thanks!

You're quite welcome Asafiev . It's a different fragrance of course, but the vetiver/plum mix is there.
