I propose that you first learn how to make a good lather with VDH. VDH is a real soap and, compared to many, easily makes a very effective lather.

There are so many good choices. Get a highly reviewed product, with a scent that works for you. My favorite soap may be your least favorite.
Tabac is a GREAT soap, but not everyone likes its scent. I happen to like it.

Tabac is a great soap. Easy to lather with, hard to make mistakes with and in my opinion, smells great!
Many excellent choices...have you considered Dr Harris?
Valobra stick grated = A great shave 
Do you have a L'Occitane store near you? Their cade shave soap refill is about $15. I really think it's a great soap! Love the scent!!!!
I'm with 82R; shave with the VDH for awhile until you're getting good shaves with it, then invest in a more expensive soap.
When that time comes, consider The Gentlemen's Quarter and Mama Bear and Prairie Creations.

Tobac certainly wouldn't be a bad choice as your next soap. It lathers very easily and is very lubricating. I am still getting used to smell though, I don't hate or love it. To me its an intriguing musky type smell, its hard to explain.
I just picked up a puck for $10, salesgirl said this is the regular price now. (At the galleria location)
VDH is great to start with.
Whether or not it is your next soap, Tabac should make its way through your shave routine at some point. Just don't get it right off the bat and pass judgement on it if you can't get good results right away. On the other hand, likely you will get good results, and it will aid you in judging what a good soap lather is like. I just got my first Tabac last week, and I tell you it really re-opened my eyes as to what kind of lather I should be getting. I tended to take shortcuts with my soaps, and not spend the time to get the good lather. Now that I've been reminded what kind of lather I want, I make sure I get that result with every soap when I use them, it just often takes a little longer.
