Palmolive is an excellent, no-frills, low-cost soap. It's a shame that it isn't sold here in the USA. In my experience, it performs very well in both hard and soft water. I also really like the blue Wilkinson Sword stick, though the Wilkie is a little more costly for basically the same performance with a slightly more enjoyable scent (though both smell fine).I haven't tried the Palmolive but each of the other four i'd be content to use all the time. The two Prorasos represent 100% of the soaps i currently own, i have a tub of another brand of cream to round things out.
