I know there have been a few threads on this, which I have read. But if I can, I would like to get more info. For starters, I use a straight razor and I have only recently learned to whip up a decent lather in a scuttle with a hot reservoir. I used A&E Kaizen and the shave was fantastic! I now understand the benefits of a good lather. Looking online, I have found some soaps in the $80 to $100 range. I don't mind spending that much. I have also read here that some get fantastic results with a $20 (or less) soap. So I would like to know which expensive soaps some members buy and why they pay that much. Any advice will be appreciated.
