Just started using Cella Organic Aloe Vera Shaving Soap.

I resisted buying this soap for quite some time as I preferred the scent of the red Cella...and who doesn't like a tallow soap anyway?
But after using a lot of different soaps over many years I have noticed lately that my ruggedly handsome but delicate face would get a slight burn as I applied my daily shave soap.
So I figured on giving the green Cella a trial.
Oh bugger...it works. Yep, no more burn and the soap actually works well.
Very faint scent, but I can live with that.
I have no more 'new' soaps left to use. Just a remnant of Blue Devil, and Rasozero Barbacco.
So...what other non tallow 'bio' soaps should I look at now?
Thanks for any thoughts, advice.

Welcome back @Blackie, long time no see... :)

Speick stick is a terrific option. If you want to go up market, Martin de Candre is pretty hard to beat.

My favorite veggie base is Manuel's, but Eufros is only available from Barcelona.

Agreed re MdC and Eufros. (y) The former is great value, as there's a shitload of soap in those big tubs, so it lasts ages. Eufros is also good value, as Manuel does his best to keep shipping costs to a minimum. And his veg base is sublime. I've also read that Le Père Lucien is a great veg-based soap. I'm going to try some next year.

Incidentally, my next MdC purchase will be the "Nature" unscented variety, so I can just add a drop of whatever EO or cologne I like to the lather.

Thanks. Yes, been a bit slack. I have been reading the forum each week to see @Errol reviewing lovely razors.
But haven't had too much to contribute. No new gear for me.
I did try a puck of this...
https://fineshave.co.nz/products/lamberts-luscious-urban-shaving-soap-refill-100g
It was OK for lather, but it did give my face a bit of a burn...and that's when I tossed it and bought the Cella Bio.
I will go now and check that Eufros.
To be fair that Cella is probably all I need now, but I do like a better/stronger scent.
