What are your current VERY BEST soaps?

Right now I'd say it's a tossup between a couple of vintage tallow-based soaps, Ralph Lauren Safari and Penhaligon's English Fern.

Haha great choice Nero! Do you find there's a noticeable difference between the Valobra unscented puck and the AOS Valobra unscented puck?

I've only tried the scented Valobra-branded pucks so I can't compare the unscented directly. But I always felt the AoS were richer than the Valobra pucks.

In order...
Gd Donkey base. I use Asinus
GD duck fat base. I use Pekin
GD beef tallow base. I use Tacit. I’ve yet to try the Janus tallow that should have some additional slickness.
DG milksteak. I use unscented. Need more time with this base but it is a winner

In no particular order and all for different reasons .
