Is there life after OSP?

[Hourwerk]

Would appreciate some recommendations of hard soaps with at least equal performance to OSP?
Up to now I have tried Tabac and Geo F Trumper and although they are good they are not outstanding like OSP.
Thanks in anticipation

Performance wise it is hard to beat. MWF has regained favour recently and Stirling soaps are always a good bet.

 

[Uncle Bertie]

How many soaps have you got already?

Phoenix and Beau are very good performers, although they do benefit from a little blooming prior to lathering.

I found the Wickham Soap Company 1912 soaps to be excellent; just as good as OSP and a wide range also. As ever YMMV

Saponificio Varesino is another good option , seems expensive but their Soaps last a long time.
Wickham's I think is Excellent Value and a Very Good Performer.

La Savonniere du Moulin for something different. Not cheap but goes a long way
DR Harris Arlington
Kent shaving soap - I can't tell the difference between this and MWF except it's slightly cheaper

Thanks for the recommendations. However I am surprised that MWF featured as it's the worst possible soap I have ever used and impossible to generate a decent lather!

Stirling was already mentioned, PAA, etc.....

You could try Martin De Candre. I really enjoy the Vetyver scent.

Wickham 1912 are excellent. .as are Le Pere Lucien.

I'm surprised you managed to get a lather from Trumper hard soaps

Poppycock, it's brilliant!

I have never heard anyone say a bad word for MWF. But then there is a first for everything

I tried the Fat for the first time in the last few days and I found it to be straightforward to lather, and I have some of the hardest water in the UK. I used it with a synth and seemed to have no problems in the slightest.

I agree with you, dried my face out and I can't stand the smell, lathered ok but went in the bin.

I know you're after alternatives to OSP, have you run out?

I can think of plenty of bad words to say about it.
