Has anyone tried this stuff?
With shipping (d'bay) it's less than 2.00 a puck.

Looks to me like Van Der Hagen Deluxe. If so it is a good soap IMO and a regular in my rotation. Think it is 1.75 at my wal-mart.

Cool - I believe you hit the nail on the head.
I think the local Walgreen's sells the single green box of it. I"ll have to check it out. Thanks!
Yes, it is VDH Deluxe, just packaged for the Barber trade, so there is no need for the individual green boxes. 
Bought mine at Walgreen's, but if I recall correctly, I paid north of 3 bucks. Might be cheaper elsewhere as suggested above. I don't remember being impressed with Walgreen prices on shave stuff.
Regards.
Walmart carries it for like $1.60 or $1.70 a puck in the nice green boxes, so you probably aren't saving much. For the DE guys, they also carry Wilkinson Sword blade 10 packs for like $1.80, and I don't know much about DE blades, but I know that they are WAY better than the $8 /10 pack I bought at CVS/Walgreens a year or so ago.
It's a good soap. Great for the availability and price. Probably the fastest disappearing soap I've seen (The ONLY soap I've ever finished off just through shaving that wasn't a sample), which helps explain the performance... it loads VERY easily (I suspect it's whipped and then the whipped product is relatively gently compressed into a puck) and by far most people who have problems lathering are just not loading enough product.
