please recommend some soaps

Hi mates

please recommend some nice soaps to me

I currently use ETHOS ones and I love them

but I want to experience other brands.

I personally like high slickness and protection from thick lather

I have not yet tried Ethos Grooming Essentials with the EOS complex. I have heard good things about it.

Other soap formulas that will be in the same class (although not quite as expensive) are:

Ariana and Evans Kaisen
Declaration Grooming Milksteak
Grooming Dept Kairos
Grooming Dept Lamb Tallow
Grooming Dept Mallard (new formula just released)
Grooming Dept Nai (vegan formula)
Mammoth Soaps Tusk
Oaken Lab V3
Wholly Kaw Siero
Zingari Man Sego

I have a very large collection of soaps and these soap bases are the ones that come out at the very top of my evaluations. Mohammad of Grooming Dept is my favorite artisan soapmaker as he has four different soaps bases that are good enough to make my top ten formulations. However, there are other soaps that are nearly as good as these. With my top ten, I can still feel the post shave conditioning for at least 16 hours after the shave. There are other soaps that will give a similar shave, but the post shave feel starts to fade after eight hours.

wow thanks so much

I just wrote down the list.

Oh besides, what is the soap that has weak scent? I cant use much scented soaps because my wife can't smell most scents due to pregnancy.

Not sure which, if any, on that list would qualify as weak scented. A&E is famously strong scented. They are all really top tier soaps, though.

If you are referring to a soap known for its weak scent... Haslinger, perhaps? Very weak scents, pretty good performance.

Good luck and congrats on the baby. Do you know what you are having? First child?

Thank you
He is the first child.

I used Haslinger and I quit buying it due to lack of residual slickness

some recommended Heritage Hill soaps for the weak scent, whose performance they said is also nice

but after the birth, whether scents are strong or not doesn't matter  

So I am collecting some information on as many brands as possible.

The two I've been really liking lately are First Line Shave "Kituwah" and Highland Springs Soap Co "The Forge". Kituwah is very strongly scented and smells great, The Forge is much more lightly scented but the base is great. Any of HSSC's tallow soaps are good performers.

The recent Mood Indigo from Mammoth was on the weak side but future releases are to be a bit stronger.

Good news is most of those artisans above make an unscented version. Soapmakers go out of their way for scented soaps to make them on the stronger side scent wise. If not, they risk the ire of the purchasers.

Yeah Haslinger isn't top tier. HH might be a good choice, as I too have heard the scent are muted. They also sell 2 oz tubs for $10, so It would be a cheap, low key investment just for the pregnancy months.

Good luck and congrats again!

Wholly Kaw comes in unscented in all their bases

Grooming Dept may make some unscented soap in their various bases if you ask Mo directly. Of course, you may have to wait a little

Another company worth your time is Cutting Edge and David makes unscented

Those would cover the 4 best soaps currently available

Ray has shared some excellent wisdom here. A&E, Wholly Kaw, and Grooming Dept are all top notch. My fav is GroomingDept as well. To me, the different bases are all excellent, and there hasn’t been a scent yet that hasn’t been wonderful! If you do order from Mo, make sure to get a bottle of the hydrating gel and one of the serums. They really complete an already great shave and leave your face feeling fantastic all day.
