I have some, Black Tie No. 13.  Straight up tallow shaving soap.  Great stuff, will get another when it's gone.

I will add Stirling and CBL premium Wagu tallow soaps.  Both give me excellent slickness when hydrated and lathered.

Zingari Man Sego base, very slick and nice selection of scents.

I'm going to throw in my vote for Grooming Dept Kairos base, and Declaration Grooming Milksteak base. Only issue with any soap is that it's tough to know what it's actually going to smell like, based on the descriptions. I've purchased some that sounded "good" but then I can't stand to use them due to the scent. Some you can get samples of, which helps, others you can't so you roll the dice. Smile

My favorite, slickest soaps are Summer Break Soaps, Wholly Kaw donkey milk and Siero, or Spearhead soaps

The 2 slickest I have encountered are:
I Coloniali Mango - the slickest ever period

Grooming Dept Kairos - tad less slick but at least pretends to have some cushion
I too was thinking about slickness with cushion, as for me,  I definitely want both.
