I've become a major fan of Mike's Natural Soaps, in fact I'm addicted.
This is an artisan soap maker who's products easily compare with the big name traditional soap makers (even if it isn't triple milled).
Although it takes a little more work and definitely more water to get that really good lather worked up, once achieved the lather is as rich and creamy, provides slickness and cushion as good or better than TABAC or DR Harris. The scents are strong and wonderful. I've lately been using nothing but his shaving soaps, switching back and forth between the Lime (the first one I tried) and the Orange, Cedarwood & Pepper and on the weekends the Rose & Cedarwood (shaving a little later having slept in a bit, it's a real "wake me up"). IMHO the Rose & Cedarwood blows the old English rose soaps away.
Having been so taken by his shaving soaps, I decided to try the Bath Bars. So far I've used the Lemon & Eucalyptus Kokum Butter Body Bar and it's wonderful. Other Body Bars that I wanted to try have been out of stock, but I'll get some others when available.

Len-K welcome to SMF! I enjoyed reading your first post, because I share your appreciation for Mike's shaving soap. Definitely one of the best. I'm not sure if very many other SMF guys will see this post because you accidentally posted it in the SOTD forum. Regardless, it's good to have you here, and I look forward to your participation! Best Regards,
