Queen Charlotte Soaps in a long, long time.  At one time they were highly regarded and quite popular.  I have not used any of their products in quite a while...years actually.  Are there any Queen Charlotte users out there?

Yep. Their Mysore sandalwood soap is the only soap currently made with real Mysore, which is why it's a bit pricey....but worth it. That and the Cayman are my favs.

Vostok is in my rotation. Perfect amount of menthol for regular use imo.

It's funny how soaps trend up so much then disappear. QCS are quality soaps, creams & AS. I have Vostok, Iced Key Lime & Cayman in my rotation.

I have Esquire and Rose Otto shaving soaps from Queen Charlotte Soaps. I like these soaps a lot. Very good performance and scents.

Ha! I used Iced Key Lime last night. I just finished Celestial Woods in late spring. I will be using their Basilica soap later this fall. I also enjoy their balms, I use the Basilica balm after Hallows and Roam shaves.
I especially like them as QCS is one of the few soapers that still sell individually wrapped pucks instead of forcing their tubs on the user. QCS has a good selection of soaps but they dont go out of their way to do LEs or seasonal soaps. They make high quality hot process soaps, post them on line for sale, and mind their own business. I know the owner posts on that elitist shave forum and I wish we could get him over here for an AMA. He sells a good product.

To the OP, I request you change your title to this thread to include QCS in it. QCS deserves a little more air time than what it gets.

Consider it done.

I was intrigued by their line up when I was first starting out, but there's just too much out there that I simply overlook their offerings. I remember I was curious about Esquire.

QCS was among the first soaps/creams I tried when entering this world of wet shaving. Think I got small pie piece samples of five or so soaps. And ever since, I have yet to find anything that I like more, scent wise, than Celestial Woods. So when I was looking at what Handlebar-Gareth had on offer earlier this year and found the Celestial Woods cream (which really would have been called soap by most other producers, I dare say), I jumped.

Although I frequently engage in the hypes of various soaps, I must admit that the difference in performance among most are marginal. Still, QCS is not absolute top, but just below.

Of the samples I tried, I also liked the Fougere and the Vetiver. I am sure I would be partial to the Mysore Sandalwood too.

I think @"TheHandleBar" has one of his soaps made by QCS...I could be wrong though.
