Hi all,
Been taking a break from the forums lately (spending way too much time on them....) I'm still alive however!
I was thinking lately about soaps that are highly regarded and have disappointed me with their performance:

I was thinking lately about soaps that are highly regarded and have disappointed me with their performance:
- MWF - jury still out on this one. Very mixed results ranging from airy, thin lather and irritation (lanolin?)
- DR Harris (Arlington) - Lovely scent, but then....? It's a really average soap in my opinion. Very fussy about water ratio and bubbly lather which is never very slick. I've tried several times with different brushes and it has never WOWed me.[/list:u]
And, conversely, soaps that I wasn't expecting to like so much:
- La Toja - Fantastic veggie soap, with perhaps my favourite shave soap scent so far. Shaves great too.
- Cella - slightly unusual scent, subtle, but slick, slick slick! Man is this stuff slick. Get the ratio right and it just glistens with moisture and slickness! If only they made it in various scents.
- Boots soap - Excellent soap, better than Harris. Yes, I just said that. Not sure about the spicy smell, but it shaves very well indeed, on a par with Cade.
- Palmolive - very good and a steal at the price. Smell is a bit "meh" - but performance is great. Again, shame it's a stick.[/list:u]
So, come on guys, let's hear yours!
