In your opinion what's the best inexpensive shave soap?

[Marco]

Two soaps in my den: Cella and Proraso.

1 kilo brick of Cella is about €10,00

1 jar of Proraso is about €2,00

Also, no shipping necessary.

The OP lives in St. Louis. St. Charles is right next door.

I must admit that I am pretty bad at American geography. But then it's local advice for the OP only. St. Louis is in the southern USA, right?

No, it's in the central US.

I was thinking to myself this morning what's the difference between A high-end shave soap and an inexpensive one ? I couldn't really tell the difference but that's just me. I use Mike's natural soap barbershop razor rock classic and Ive also used Spanish lather by GFT. I really enjoy Mike's natural soaps as well as the cheaper soaps. Maybe it's just because I'm frugal and can't justify spending $18-$30 on a soap. But I prefer an in expensive soap to a high-end soap. My question to you guys is which soap do you prefer more the high-end or the less expensive? Also which inexpensive soap do you think performs the best?

In a Tub: RazoRock
A Stick: ARKO
A puck: Williams

Arko is dirt cheap and Good preformer. But stirling soap has tons of different smells to chose from.

 

[JerYnkFan]

For me it would be Arko

When I saw the title of this thread, Arko is the first one that came to mind.
If I were dirt-poor and had to shave with Arko every single day, I wouldn't mind a bit.

Of course the best soap for the money is Cella Extra Extra Purrisima , especially if you purchase the brick of 1 kg.
12 sticks of Arko - great value for the money .

 

[Eeyore]

No, it's in the central US.

Oops!

St. Louis definitely sounded "southern" to me.

I popped in to a local ethnic shop and found huge sticks of Arko for 1€ each. That makes it hard to beat on a cost per use verses performance basis

That is the regular price in most countries. According to Nuclearblast (Edgar), local price in Portugal is €0.50. I think it must be even cheaper in Turkey.

I agree!

I tried the Pumpkin spice from acs and it breaks my face out in a rash so I don't use it anymore but love the smell

I think Walmart only carries Van der Hagen ... but you can find Williams just about everywhere else.

 

[dabrock]

You can try Wallyworld but I don't know about your area. In Canada it can be found in most stores.

 

[LBussy]

Having given Williams a fair shake I don't think I'd use it at any price. I picked it up at $0.89 and ended up tossing it. Arko was given to me and I could not stomach it. However, after a second try according to the (vintage) directions, if I were poor I would use Ivory soap bars. It was not bad and I could use it for everything.

 

[opusx11]

Razorock classic.

 

[Galaktus]

Another vote for Arko. YMMV, but I think Arko smells great!

I've never seen Williams anywhere at all.
