Hey PoM what are you doing over here. I'm all over as well. I'm still having a tough time posting on the shave den. Just takes forever. How's the NAPCA working out. Greg.

Hey! Haven't seen you in a while.

I'm about halfway through with the bottle of NAPCA, and to be honest, it doesn't seem to do any more for me than Witch Hazel does.

That being said, I don't live in a very dry state (I'm an Oregonian) and I don't have dry skin either, so that might contribute as well. Also, I'm only 36, so I don't have many wrinkles to speak of, except for the one big one I sit on.

you'll be throwing away all the other soaps you own and never even looking at any new soaps then?

Steve Bowles · Saturday July 30, 2016

No, there are too many I haven't tried, so I'm ordering a dozen or so samples to give them their due.

Not just one forever soap but OSP, vintage Old Spice and Dubarry Silkashave together with B&M Beaudelaire form the backbone of my rotation and I rarely go more than a fortnight without using all of them.

..so possibly jumping the gun a bit to say you've found your forever soap?

Up until I had tried the Haslinger, I was less than impressed with soaps. I was a confirmed cream shaver. This may, or may not, change.

I have some of that Old Spice shaving soap their puck soap and it really doesn't smell like Old Spice anymore kind of a stale soapy smell.... when I use it I squirt some Old Spice cologne into it.. lather it up and then I'm good to go

That's a shame.

I'm not too bummed out I've been doing this lately I've got a couple of unscented soaps and I'm adding my own essential oil or cologne and it's really working out beautifully what's nice about it is I can scent my soap with let's say Arammis cologne and now I've a Arammis smelling soap.

I agree, Haslinger is fantastic. I wish they lasted longer but yes sir, the sheeps milk soap has been excellent in my experience as well.

Even though I haven't tried so many soaps as other members here, I would most probably vote for the Haslinger as my "forever" soap.

Having tried loads of soaps from both sides of the pond with varying results, some being very good & others being average, I have totally fallen for Phoenix & Beau Sanskrit. The easiest-loading soap I own with the richest, slickest lather imaginable with a gorgeous scent that reminds me of ginger beer. The fact it's from a British artisan is a lovely bonus. Will never be without some of this.

Not tried the Sanskrit, but the P&B Solaris is amazing. Completely agree with your assessment of the soap. Love my OSP as well, we are blessed with top drawer British soap at the mo.
