I just returned from a Mediterranean cruise and managed to snag a few shave soaps while I was there.
An organic olive oil soap from Greece. I'm thinking since it is olive oil based it may not lather too well. If not, I'm sure it will be a fine bath bar.
This is an interesting one. I got it at a store in Italy called "Acqua e Sapone" (Soap and Water) that sold soaps, perfumes and cosmetics.
It was cheaper than Proraso Green (the only other shave soap they carried). Proraso was 2.35€, while this was only 1.45€.
It's a croap and the scent is like Cella x 3. Performs like Cella too. And look who it is made by! Most Tcheon Fung Sing soaps are $12-$20 for the same quantity.
The Aqua Di Parma was more expensive than I was looking for, but my wife liked the scent so she told me to get it.
Herr & Man is made in Italy. It's a hard soap in a plastic tub with a nice herbal/citrus scent. The store owner recommended it to me. I used it once, but the water on the ship and/or my brush were not optimal for the soap.
Cella was 17€ for a kilo brick. Vitos was 16€ for a kilo. I was tempted to buy that but didn't want to put my luggage over the weight limit.
Spain was a bust soap-wise. We were in Barcelona on Good Friday so 90% of all stores and shops were closed.
