Now then what soap for what pot?

Mitchell's ... all of 'em!

How about take all the classic shave sticks and grate them into the requisite number of pots? Arko, Derby, Wilko, Palmolive & LEA ... Partridge, Deer, Grouse, Squirrel & Duck (nice sub-theme, there) ... something special for the Peacock, say, a puck of that Hampshire WoolFat ... Tabac in the Pewter?

Noted. Cheers! It's one that's on my list. I had Aramis Havana a while ago but let it go as I wasn't all that enamoured with it but Tobacco Reserve does get talked up by folks that like my kind of frags.

Aramis TB has been discontinued sadly, L'Occitane Eau des Baux is the closest thing to it still available by all accounts.
 
I like that idea,
I got the sheepdog rounding up sheep to farm with lad sleeping scene for the HWF, which started this off.
Some of @BrianH sig-soaps will deffo be going in, William's mug shaving soap is another.

That's a real *******! I think it came out only a couple of years ago as well. I still have most of the 100ml bottle, so it's a matter of eking it out. When I find something I really like (usually shaving consumables, clothes, footwear and occasionally photographic gear), I try to have a small stock or a backup, as I know darn well that the next time I go to buy some, it'll be discontinued, sold out and not repeated, or otherwise lost to me. I've mistimed this one, for sure.
 

I discovered it when trying to buy some earlier this month, the prices had gone from £20 per bottle to £60!
 
its listed on ebay right now

Yeah, I can find it for £50-£90 a bottle. Damn it! Oh, well ...

You could try TK Maxx? I know they were selling it a little while back.
I'll pop into my local store tomorrow and see if they have any in stock.
 

What I wouldn't give to own the Japanese themed pot !
The peony's and peacock are lovely
A very good find imo
