Besides the obvious Williams, what are the most American soaps still available? Im sending a package to Russia and want to show what we have here. Already got the cremo and Williams.

That's an interesting question to which the answer is " none."

I think that Van Der Hagen soaps are made in USA. I may be wrong.

Stirling would be a good one for an artisan manufacturer, along with PAA, and Caties Bubbles.

Well, "most American" would of course mean native American. Williams is clearly British, van der Hagen is obviously Dutch... Only native Americans apparently did not use shaving soap. And even if you meant "made in the USA by American citizens using US grown products", I'd still have bad news for you. Palm oil? Definitely not made in the USA. The fabled kokum oil? Nope. And don't get me started about the dirt cheap, not quality assured scented garbage used on The Trash from Texas. Because that is Chinese. Or North Korean. Who knows? Either way, that is a question to which no good answer exists.

How about Palmolive, in that it started out as an American company and they still produce sticks and creams, only issue is they aren't available in the US anymore. What you can get here mass produced would be Williams. After that you get into Artisan soaps and phartisan soaps such as AOS, Duke Cannon, Pacific.
