Ok, you win, recommend me a hard soap please …

[Dickie]

Hi

I’m looking for a hard soap recommendation please, BUT I have an aversion to anything ‘old man smell’ whilst I deal with my full blown mid life crisis.

Thanks

Any of Saponificio Varesino range, Martin De Candre (rose, fougere, argumes)

Mitchell's wool fat!

Hampshire Wool Fat is worth checking out as well. It's quite cheap, I think it can be picked up from eBay for £5 shipped in the UK.

I'm a fan of Mitchell's Wool Fat, some find it tricky to lather but I think it's fine to lather once you get the hang of it.

I also like the puck form of Arko, but the scent isn't for everyone. Both these can be bought from Connaught Shaving, probably shipped for about £10 for both.

MWF - it's one of the very best.

L’occitane Very Nice
up there with the best i reckon & so underrated
But i’ll say Mitchell’s Wool Fat also
a truly wonderful performer

 

[Blademonkey]

Mitchell's wool fat shaving soap is part of every wet shaver's journey, don't quote me on this but I'm sure it's the law that you purchase one of the best soaps that is made in the UK!
Crack on, cheap as chips also!

I haven't used any of the wool fat soaps but the best of the soaps that I have used is Cella, works for me.

Along with the famous Mitchell's wool fat soap you should also give consideration to any of the soaps from Signature Soaps, also made here in the UK

These are hard soaps and are all good. Here are some more that may be good but I cannot confirm:

Arran
Captain Fawcett
Bath House Co. (Or something like that)
L'occitane

Tabac right now seems to be a bit of a divisive one since it has been reformulated. I've not used the new version so I can't comment on it, but the old formula is/was excellent.

Ok, so search over for now, just tried Signature Capra Insuriam and although it’s not a hard soap, I’m sold!

Had to use my synth yaqi brush as the Boar is still drying from last night and so it was a little more work than a Proraso or Tobs Royal forest of the previous 2 days, but, it’s the nicest product I’ve used so far. Very smooth and slick and incredibly kind to my sensitive skin.

Sig Soaps Capra is my favourite I must say, I'm sure you will love it!

Edit : you already know! I should read the posts properly!!!
