What Bath Soaps Are You Using?

Once I started wet shaving I was introduced to a whole slew of bath soaps that I did not know existed before. I am currently enjoying Mitchell's Wool Fat bath soap as well as Lavanda Mild and Musgo Real Bath Soap. What bath soaps are you using?

I've been on a Yardley kick since December. First with the English Lavender, followed by the Almond Oatmeal which I didn't like at all, and my latest bar is the Aloe and Cucumber which is great. I've got the large bar of Pomegranite Blossom up next, then the Shea Butter to follow.

I didn't like the Almond because it has a grit to it and it makes me feel like the soap was dropped in a sand box.

Yea...I tend to not like the exfoliating soaps either. It can actually leave you feeling a bit raw.

I've been using the Italian olive oil soap Olivella. Love the scent and really enjoy using olive oil soaps.

Where do you buy it John? I have not tried that one yet.

As WW mentioned above, I too have been on a Yardley kick. If you don't like the grit from the oatmeal one then also avoid the pomegranate rose as there is some grit there too. Currently I'm using the aloe cucumber and agree that it's fantastic. TWGW recently picked up a bottle of Dr. Bronner castile soap and I used it for the first time this morning. It was pretty good as well.

Prairie Creations bath soaps, though I am running low.

Yardley Lavander
Kirk's Castille - Can be a little drying
Mitchell's Wool Fat
Dove Beauty Bars - my wife uses these and they are really pretty good esp with hard water

I buy it from a local store in Cincinnati, but here's the website for Olivella, I buy the "Classic"

I've been alternating a bar of Hermes Equipage with an artisan bar scented supposedly to resemble Acqua di Gio (but actually with hardly any scent at all). Waiting in the wings are Roger & Gallet Fougere and Yardley Spice soap-on-a-rope, which I plan to use as a microphone for karaoke singing where no one can hear me.

I love them all..I think I have used every one Phil sells and my best advice is to keep buying and trying..never give up..that way you can mix and match and make your shower another indulgence we so enjoy !!!!!! D,

Right now, it is the Lavanda Triple Alfazema soap - I like it a lot and I am lucky enough to find it locally

They had the two versions available: the old package (in the upper side) and the new one (lower side). The soap itself its the same, though.

The Triple Alfazema is next on my list. I really like the "Mild" version.

I use PdP lavender soap and LOVE IT.

after I run out of it, I'm going to try making my own, to see how it compares.

Yardley and Palmolive. I'm wanting to buy some mysore sandalwood to try but no one locally has it.

Just finished my last bar of QCS briar...need to order more.

I made a hand soap using a bar of yardley, glycerin and something else that I can't think of at the moment. very soothing on the hands, but it doesn't bubble up well at all.

Lavanda Puig, La Toja, Pre de Provence, Yardley, Whole foods house brand, Queen Charlotte Soap, several different French soaps and many others. I have more bath soap then shaving soap.

The lavanda Puid is really good if you like lavender.

Lush Cosmetics. I am kind of a Lush for Lush. Any scent that gets my attention, though right now I'm finishing off their "Northern Lights" and then on to my favorite, "Demons in the Dark." Road trip on Sunday to stock up on some supplies!

Valobra "Glycerlanolina"

[attachment=122]

With a classic tallow and coconut oil base, it makes a rich, creamy lather. It is enriched with lecithin and beeswax and has added glycerine and lanolin which is most agreeable with my often dehydrated and sensitive skin.
