Thanks, Sonny, and I can highly recommend the Soapy Science soaps for their strong performance. I have always found that I need to load a P&B soap, heavily, otherwise the lather generated is too thin. I haven't needed to load a SS soap as much in order to produce a good lather. I would also say that the post-shave feel from SS is better than P&B. In terms of scents, that's obviously personal. Strength-wise, I put the two brands about equal. I personally wish both were stronger, but that's my preference in scents.
As for Oleo Duck Fat soaps, these are my first so can't really comment at this stage.
