Because of work, I need to start utilizing an unscented shaving soap. This is going to be hard for me because I have enjoyed all of the scented varieties every day of the week up until now. I'm a bit of a soap snob and typically use only the very best. Does anyone have any recommendations for the highest level unscented soap? What do you guys recommend? Thanks!

Second the Ethos.
And since I used it today, in the "scented but hardly really scented and certainly not spicy, or floral, or perfumed, or gourmand, or oud, or fougere, etc etc etc, but just a slight clean powdery soap scent" category would be Mitchell's Wool Fat.
I have been strictly unscented since January 2016. I have had many tubs of products pass through the shave drawer. This is what currently resides in the drawer.
My best, in no order,
Mystic Water Soap Sensitive Skin (does have a pleasant odor due to the ingredients. Post shave is the best, for me) $
Mike's Natural Soap Unscented $
Shannon's Soaps Nil $
Zingari Man unscented $$
House of Mammoth Z $$
Noble Otter Bare $
Stirling Sheep $
Almost Best (but list would look ridiculous if I claimed all were Best!)
Ethos Clean $$$
Canada Shaving Soap $$$$
Hub City Birthday Suit $$
Stirling Unscented with beeswax $
Still testing (that is, less than a handful of uses)
Mitchell's Wool Fat (it does have a very mild, soapy clean scent, but not truly unscented) $$
Hasingler's Aloe Vera $
Williams Mug soap, vintage (odor is gone) ??
All perform well for me, some have been with me since I started. And I reserve the right to change my mind and the order at a moment's notice!![Big Grin Big Grin](https://cdn.damnfineshave.com/images/smilies/biggrin.png)
My price system, based on memory, not looking up current prices:
$$$$ is the most money I have paid for a soap, above $40
$$$ more than many, $30 - $40
$$ around $20 - $25
$ is less than $10 to $15
Hope that can help!
