Poll: Desert Island Soaps...

[Gargravarr]

Just for the sake of interest, and I expect a lot of variety here...

Just for simplicity here, you are stranded on a "desert island" (presumably with ample supplies of food and single malt whisky - oops, they're the same thing ), but you can only take one shaving soap.

Which would it be? To kick things off, mine (I've recently discovered) would be Stirling Bergamot Lavender.

That’s too easy, because, it’s cheap as peanuts for a whole box of 12 sticks.

Soap Commander Liberty for me.

OK, fair enough, but I was more interested in quality rather than quantity. (In my case, I'd rather let everything hang out than shave with Arko...)

Arko stick are fantastic for keeping the blood sucking bastard mosquito bites away.

MWF.
Best soap there is... though I suspect the lather may suffer if using water from a desert island... too hard.

APR Skye Fall - because I can!

Edited for typo

PAA Cold Spices

 

[Gargravarr]

APR Sykefall - because I can!

Now that is a hard one to find. You must have all of it

Arko - greatest soap ever made. Great lathering - manly smell (none of this namby pamby roses and violets stuff)

MDC because it lasts forever

no, I think that @tim33z has some ...

 

[Rabid Badger]

B&M Reserve Lavender or L'Original MdC.

I have Skye Fall. Not Syke Fall. Different stuff maybe?

And I’ll pop Skye Fall as my desert Island soap (hopefully a cold island not too near the equator)

Controversial but I'd say Cella as its a breeze to lather and comes per kg. Saying that I'd happily S.O.S @Pbgoose to fly in some of his soap as I rate it that highly!

+1 for me.

I'm sure I've said it before, but I don't think I would want a heavily scented soap if I was limited to just 1. Cella starts off with a strong almond scent which fades away before I would get sick of it.

Stirling Electric Sheep with frost drops.

1.Great lather
2. Menthol for cooling in the tropics
3. Contronella scent to keep those PIA mosquitoes at bay.

Mike's Lemongrass & Eucalyptus...love it both in cold and hot weather

Having now done some hunting re the background of this soap, it sounds like I might agree if I could ever try it. Can't see that ever happening, though, so I'll move on. I'll never be able to buy a Lambo either. (Which is fine, as it would never get up my driveway )
