From my limited experience:
1. and 2. Mike's Natural & Mystic Water
3. B&M (I prefer latha!) and AoS Sandalwood

Only 11 soaps in my den and I foresee maybe another 5 or 6 to be added. I seem to be working my way into the stated position of Claus, able to work virtually any soap into a fine performing lather leading to a good to great shave. Even the Col. Conks, bought as a rookie, yield a fine shave. The CRSW Select v2 Limenthol is the current darling with its performance and just the right amount of menthol to make the lime sparkle.
