Razorock Don Donato is the slickest slope I have ever used. It also takes water exceptionally well, so you can really wring out a ton of slickness without having it break down into a worthless pile of runny bubbles.

The scent is very subtle, powdery-minty. Very light without quite reaching faint.

The new Mystic Water formulas I tested included 2 that I felt are the slickest soaps I have ever used. They were all slick actually.

For me this has always been Stirling, but recently the B&M Glisssant base edges it out for me.

Probably the worst soap I've tried... Mediocre performance and almost unscented, there's no scent on that. You detect absolutely no scent during the shave and you have to try a lot to smell anything on the bowl and put your nose on the surface of the soap putting a lot of effort to smell the supposedly herbal scent. The funny fact is that it's supposed to be an ideal soap for straight razor users. In my opinion, comparing to I Coloniali's slickness is far from being slick... The lather of this soap dries out faster than any other I've tried and I've tried many the last years I'm into wet shaving. Proraso soap, especially the White one, is a far better product, slicker and cheaper.

Just my opinion!

My guess would be that this is why there are so many different soaps available out there, what with everyone having their own opinions and experiences...

In fact, I have 2 other Razorock soaps and 1 Italian Barber, and I find them all to be outstanding soaps. YMMV...that's how it goes...

Purely for slickness, I may have to go with ABC and Cella. The Italian soaps really excel at slickness for me.
