More cushion than Tabac?

[Mbarn]

My top soaps are currently Tabac and Saponificio Varesino 70th Anniversary.

I've tried other Saponificio Varesino soaps, Wool Fat and Proraso recently. Proraso was disappointing, Wool fat good but boring, and Tabac and SV excellent.

On another well known shaving forum, Tabac was mentioned as mediocre, which surprised me.

Are there other soaps which provide better glide and cushion than Tabac?

Thanks

Heretics like that need to be tied to a chair and slapped around the face with a packet of rotting smoked Mackerel whilst shouting 'HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT BBS?'

Tabac's performance is fantastic, that's all one needs to know.

Vitos, Haslinger, Valobra & P & B Tallow Soaps are Superb..Tabac isn't Up there with the Best of Em in My Books..Mediocre..Yeah..& it Stinks..Wool Fat is a Popular Joke..

If you get direct from the Gemstone Website you can use a 10% TSR discount code.

Vitos Red seems to be my benchmark soap, excellent stuff.

Thanks for this.
I ordered Vitos red and some more Gillette Silver Blue blades. Good value before the discount

I would recommend the Wickham 1912 range of soaps.
Cushion, protection and sickness in spades.
(Shavedash have a range of samples)

Excellent choices, however Solaris didn't "send" me like Spitfire does with the latter being perhaps the best smelling shave soap extant IMO. I have tried Haslinger Sandalwood and Schafmilch with the latter being better IMO as regards scent. Their Sandalwood scent is weaker than ant piss. Valobra hard soap is simply a benchmark as it's that damn good.

It's actually better than Cella imho

Sling the Cella where it belongs, down the pan like I did. You know you really want to [emoji48]
