Thanks. The results are based only on my opinion. I do my best to find the optimum for each soap and cream, the best combination of soap mass, water mass, lather-building time, etc. Parameters are varied from shave to shave as I record results, make comparisons, and keep going until the optimum is fairly found for me. Conclusions are not averaged, but correspond to the optimum performance for the product. However, I usually provide some detail about how slickness, cushion, etc., varied with the water-to-soap/cream ratio and how I settled on the optimum. Most of the products in that list are from donations by B&B brothers, most here in the United States, but with @Cal being the notable exception. Nanny's Silly Soap is still at the top of my list.
Got it. More or less same as your blade tests. Enjoyed reading those some months ago.
Interesting that NSS got such high scores in your test. Many experienced wet shavers mention it as a seriously good performing soap that gets no love because of understated marketing. Packaging and scents seem to rate very high on peoples criteria for purchasing product. I've read confessions how some soaps got purchased just because of 'cool packaging'.
