What are your current VERY BEST soaps?

I recently mixed Siliski's Santa's Pipe (60%) with Ogallala Bay Rum Vanilla (40%). The blend is slick as greese and smells amazing. Hands down my favorite!

After trying so many, including Stirling (wow) after this, I have to redact my comment. The slickness is formidable, but not that awesome. Didn't realize how good it can get. Lol.

Still the best scent though.

Declaration Grooming -- Love the scent of Trismegistus. And the performance is topnotch.
Grooming Dept -- Post shave is second to none.
Wholly Kaw -- Great performing soap. Wish I could find scents I love. Pompelmo is the best to my nose.
Mike's -- Solid performance, the best scents, good value.
Sudsy Soapery -- So easy to lather. My favorite vegan brand.

Mystic Water
Wholly Kaw
Eufros Premium Tallow

Right now the current crop of bases from Grooming Department is head and shoulders above anything else I’ve ever used...

Update... I'd probably say my best now has to be:

WCS Jojoba. Amazing performance! Loving the Oriental scent.

Also Stiling has great performance. Their barbershop scent is among my favorites, as well.

Finally still enjoying the Vanilla Bay rum and Siliski's Santa's soap mix for the scent. Performance is good, albeit not top tier.

They're back in stock... Well, a lot of scents (not all). This is good news though... Seeing last I checked, almost everything was out of stock.

Don't know if their stock they have now is the bases you are referring to. Still haven't tried a GD soap.

I’m referring to the non vegans. If the scents in stock don’t work for you try their unscented Janus Tallow or/and Duck Fat which are also in stock. Haven’t tried the vegans. Their pre shave and post shave serums are outstanding as well..Unlike most other makers..they blast through scents...so in a few weeks you will probably see a slew of new ones and the ones there now will be gone...except for the unscenteds. Most of the ones now on the site aren’t sold out...they’re new scents that haven’t been released yet.

I'm in full agreement!!

The soaps listed here are all great. I definitely agree with common:

Grooming Dept
Declaration
Wholly Kaw

However, I am surprised how long it took for:

Pannacrema Nuavia
Matrin de Candre
Saponifico Varesino
Sudsy Soapery

to pop up on the list.
