I just bought Barbasol and wasn't aware of any of the brands you mention.

Now, I only buy Williams Mug Soap. I wouldn't consider any others.
 
I think it depends on where you live and what soap you are talking about.

For example, I'm sure Proraso was a household name at least in Italy (and probably other ares of Europe) for a long time.
I know that my Dad used Williams soap in the 60s and early 70s until he switched to cartridges and canned goo.

I also suspect that in the 90's and 2000's (double naught ... as Jethro Bodine would say :001_tongu) DE saving wasn't really talked about in chat groups to the extent we do now because it was considered a normal hygiene routine like brushing your teeth.

I know what I talked about in the 90's and 2000's was Windows 95, 32 bit operating systems and how to get on newsgroups and download teh warez or porn .. :hand:

Sir Donald! To my knowledge, shaving "forums" really did not exist in the 1990's or even early 2000's!

How old (young) are you?!
