Tallow Shaving Soaps Are Better Than Veg, Change My Mind.

THOUGHTS???

Personally I'm in the tallow club, because of the beautifully thick, slick, and protective lather it produces. Now, not all tallow soaps are the same, but I postulate that an average Tallow shaving soap is better than the average veg based shaving soap. Granted there are some outliers(Such as MDC), but in general this is my personal feeling(YMMV).

Tell me why you believe Veg based soaps are better/superior to tallow soaps or if you agree with my view.

Come at me, change my mind!

I agree that tallow soaps in general are better than veg soaps. As you said there are outliers. IMO Saponificio Varesino soaps will go toe-to-toe with the best tallow soaps. I'd also echo what @Spider said about Southern Witchcrafts.

Tallow is scientifically proven to beef up any shave soap.

Once someone tried to give me a veggie soap, and I told 'em to beet it.

i would have to say i personally prefer tallow based soaps, with the execption of SV and southern witchcrafts. those two vegans soaps perform really well. i have used PAA ck-6 and its ok, but i prefer tallows to vegans in most cases.

I have to add Martin De Candre soaps to this list. Excellent soap!

Get your hands on a tub of this and you'll never use a vegan soap again...

Thanks, Matt. This is my second! I stupidly sold my first. Interestingly, it was in a tortoise shell, triangular tub.

I like most soaps. You really have to stink to be on my soap hate list. There are only a tiny handful that make it there, and they’re all veggie. However, when I look at the tippy top of my list, MOST are veggie (and French). PdP, Provence Sante, Institut Karite and MdC all top the list. My very best is also veggie, the humble La Toja shave stick. They all just perform better in my hands and the postshave feel is second to none (well, MdC is a little drying).

Similar to @beginish, my top soaps are veggie. Pdp, SV, MdC and Haslinger. I could survive very well with these alone. YMMV.
