DC,
I agree with Gordon about the QED soaps. They offer less protection but I get a closer shave. My skin just seems to be fine with it! I uses a Vision Razor wide open and the QED does not present any problems. It's also slicker than triple milled soaps.
Of course the real reason I like QED soaps, is the fantastic essential oil scents! The triple milled soaps that I use do offer thicker lather that protects better so if that's your priority, go with it.

I reach for Trumper and Harris soaps more often than not. T&H soap is also good, and I like the L'Occitane soap quite a bit, but it barely gets a look in compared to the Trumper and Harris.
I have tried, many times, to like MWF, but it just never seems to knock me dead like the others.

Ed, Unfortunately, you're not the only one who's had that experiance. I recently received a PM from an experianced member who has the same problem, and I've had a touch of it myself. But neither he, nor I, have had any such issues with the Trumper soaps, so, if you haven't already, you might give them a try.
Regards,
Gordon

Our tastes seem to match pretty well...Have you tried Erasmic? how does it compare to the Palmolive? I understand they're both pretty cheap in the UK, so they might be comparable.jww wrote:MWF is my top soap (surprise, surprise!)
Next would be Valbora and Palmolive Shave Sticks both on a pretty even base for me.
But that's also because I don't own any TOBS or Trumpers.
Another benefit of Trumpers soaps is that, with their range of scents, you can do fidelity and still enjoy a different scent every day.
Jim, I have an Erasmic stick that lathers well, but I just don't choose it very often; it's always tomorrow maybe, or next weekend, or when I'm traveling. Could be the stick format...

As it happens, I've had a puck of Trumpers almond sitting outside to "mellow out" a bit. Your post prompted me to retrieve it for another try.
