Favorite American Soaps?

Only thing I must say about both the Fine and PAA are they are both a little too overscented for me. I think they like a stronger scent profile in the US.
 
L&L Grooming are top performers, maybe the best I tried, and in my opinion superior to Stirling and Barrister & Mann, and available at Maggards as well.
B&M Seville is actually one of my favourite soaps, and still it can't beat the L&L.

Could you compare Ozark Mountain and Coniferous for me please? I have the Ozark but quite quite a strong clove-type note from it. If coniferous is just the woodsy scent without the spice I think it'd be more what I'm looking for.

@chris.hale Ozark Mountain smell very much like pine forest and believe me because I have been into a real pine forest in spring, and Coniferous smell a mixture of pine forest with a woodsy scent in the background is like taking a stroll through different forest from an unknown world where no man has gone before.

I also have Mountain Man which smell like a sweet orange pine forest with a mixture of musk and sandalwood in the background, however I can't smell green tea, black currant and petitgrain which seem bloody strange to my own nose as everybody is different.

What's the Stirling Scots Pine like? Are the Stirling mutton tallow soaps any different in performance to the bovine tallow soaps for density, scent and performance?

I am somewhat intrigued by their mutton tallow soaps.

@donnie_arko Stirling Scots Pine smell like a pine forest with a mild lemon scent and FYI Stirling Electric Sheep smell almost like Arko shave stick with a stronger lemon scent ;) you can't smell clean soap while the stronger lemon scent is in the way.

I can't tell the difference between mutton tallow soaps and bovine tallow soaps from performance and density? and the scent wouldn't make to much of a difference as the scent is different from other wet shaves nose.

Wholly kaw are for me on par (if not better) with L&L, T+S.
The Monaco scent and Rose sublim are very very impressive. I have also the alcohol free lotion and they are long lasting and pure heaven
 
Guess my favourite...
