I haven't bought any soaps in a while, so I want to know what is the best base these days. From what I do have, this is how things would rank:

1. PP-8/Soft Hearts
2. Siero
3. Excelsior
4. Milksteak
5. SV 4.1

I have cleared my soap brands down to 4
1 ETHOS Use all the scents except Dragonsbeard as Im allergic to the oud
2 PannaCrema use all 4 scents
3 Mitchell's wool fat, takes a little time to learn how to get a great lather, but once you do, its fantastic.
4 Prorasso Hard to beat something thats been around so long

After a lot of experimentation....I’m now using just the four bases which work best for me...
In rank order of preference...
1. Ethos
2. Eufros (current base)
3. Tallow + Steel (current base)
4. Talbot [v2 base preferred over the newer v3]

No particular order:

DG Milksteak
DG Bison
JabonMan Eufros
Fenomeno Shave ("Artifact" triple milled base)
Southern Witchcrafts

EDIT: After using Fenomeno for the first time in a while today, I would put it at the top. Phenomenal for lack of a better word!
