I have only ever used creams before and would like to try my hand at a soap. What would be a nice first choice that would have a "luxurious" feel without breaking the bank?
Want to try soap.

At about $10 -15 for a full sized puck, anything from Mama Bear's (glycerine), Mike's Natural (tallow) and Queen Charlotte Soaps (tallow) will serve you well. Just pick a flavor and go for it. There are others, but these are my favorites. Happy hunting!
I too like mama bears and mikes. I recommend ordering a few samples from Garry's Sample shop because that way you can try out a bunch of stuff without breaking the bank and having to commit. He carries some top performers.

Just had a look. I think the vintage Gillette package is going to be for me!
Tabac 
The proprietary soaps from vintage blades are nice. My wonderful wife got me some D.R. Harris for Christmas and it is also very nice.
A nice value for an artisan soap is Mike's Natural Soaps. His are a little cheaper than the others generally and the performance is out of this world. Plenty of scents to choose from. Tabac, D.R. Harris, Speick, La Toja.... all in stick form would be a great place to start without breaking the bank. Mike's comes in stick for as well FYI.

I Have Ordered 5 Samples From Mike's As Everyone Seems To Like His Stuff...
Look locally for VDH Luxury.
Do yourself a favour and just get a puck of tabac. Or get a Palmolive stick.

Why Do You SaY That?
Tabac is a little like capital letters... It's always nice to have some extra lying around.

For Whatever Reason, When I Respond To A Post From My Phone It Makes Every Word Capitalized... Its Odd.. Its Only On This Forum Too...
For inexpensicve high quality soaps you could try Tabac, Proraso soap, Cella, Mamma Bear's, there are probably others, but for the inexpensive side that's a good start.
Cella or mike's are my favorites.
