Thank you for your advice. At the moment I am the closest to B&M Seville.Given that you have the credit at beard and blade I would probably go with B&M Seville or Noble Otter Barrbarr, Orbit, Neon Sun, Logbook or Monarch. From the ones I tested these are the ones I prefer the most but they are all pretty decent. I even enjoy the Bare (unscented) a lot myself.
Muhle isn't the worst but its definitely not up there with B&M and Noble Otter and since you are straight shaving its best to get a good slick soap. The last think you want on a straight or shavette is for your blade to skip. Obviously any soap is going to be terrible if you do not hydrate it but in my experience Muhle just does not measure up. I don't mind using it from time to time but I should also mention that it is much smaller than you would imagine so the dish isn't very useful outside of the small puck of soap you get from Muhle.
And I was thinking how big is Mule dish and now I have an answer. Mule is out of question now
