3. Crabtree & Evelyn (vintage)

5. If my first shave with it wasn't a fluke, then PAA (and I cannot believe I'm saying that).
I used The Beach the other day and the scent and performance we're both FANTASTIC. One of the easiest shaves in recent memory. And the skin felt fantastic afterward.
I ordered a few more over the weekend, so I'm hoping it was not a fluke!!!!

Shaved with Abbate Y La Mantia for the first time and it was Awesome (Don Jose).

1) Le savon des Volcans - for some reason this soap really works well for me
2) Wholly Kaw - King of Oud
3)Stirling - Bay Rum at the moment
4)Grooming Dept. Amber & Oud
5)BM or Declaration - probably give it to BM by virtue of scent only.
All are really close but Volcans would be my #1 the rest a close 2nd.

Granted, my experience with soaps is still limited, but here are the ones I've tried or have en route to me, in order of purchase/gifting/use:

Soaps -

1. Williams
2. Van Der Hagen Luxury
3. D.R. Harris Marlborough
4. Van Der Hagen Deluxe
5. Tabac

There was a local soap puck I bought a couple of years ago that was Bay Rum scented and had Bentonite clay in the formula, that I used after the Williams but before the Van Der Hagen.  I don't include it in the list because I don't remember the name.

Creams -

1. Taylor of Old Bond Street (Almond)
2. Taylor of Old Bond Street (Mr. Taylor's)

1. Wholly Kaw

2. Grooming Dept

3. Mikes Natural Soaps

4. Declaration Grooming

5. Eufros

Barrister & Mann
Cold River Soap Works
Wholly Kaw
Stirling
Mickey Lee Soapworks

I'm a straight razor user. Slick is important to all SR users,. I also want a soap that rinses clean and doesn't clog drains, pores, or leave scum on the shaving tools.

In no particular order:

ABC , cream or hard soap
AdP
I Coloniali Mango
Valobra/AOS-t/Czech abd Speake
XPEC

Seeing all these lists I do love Valobra/C&S, Saponificio Varesino and a new soap I just tried Abbate Y La Mantia that I absolutely loved. It is hard to do a Top 5 as these need to be in there as well! I need a Top 10. Ha Ha!
