Only soap I've bought recently was that triple milled artisan from RazoRock... and the fact that it was a triple milled artisan did.
In the past, an ingredient list that looked like they knew what they were doing. Then probably a scent that sounded like I'd enjoy it.

Slickness. I donāt care about the scent, so long as it doesnāt smell bad and Iām not concerned with lots of yogurty lather.
Scent profile, although I stopped buying from a few artisans because their bases didn't hold up against others I own.
Performance and scent. I like a strong woodsy scent (although I was surprised to find that I really liked a smokey orange scent). A great performing soap without a strong scent just isn't as enjoyable to me.

Ingredients lists. I know what i want and dont want included in a soap base. After that, it is scent.
I don't care at all about packaging. Whenever possible i buy pucks wrapped in paper and put them in my old containers anyway. Trying to shave with the smallest possible carbon footprint.

Performance and scent. Arko is a great example, fantastic performance but not a scent I like.
Many of the soaps I purchased in the beginning were a leap of faith based on a general consensus found in the forums. Many of those originals are now staples. Established brands, tried and true works for me. Nothing is going on my face but soap, so post shave feel and nourishing ingredients are important. Also willing to give lesser known value offerings a chance.
#1 for me is performance! (Especially slickness and glide.) 
Everything else is secondary.

For me the most important quality is the heritage of a long established brand. If it is not a triple milled rock hard puck that been around for decades then I am not interested. I will not use a modern artisan soap no matter how good it is; most of them are too soft for my taste and are more like creams.
definitely advertising!!
For me, it'd have to be in this order: Performance, Scent, ingredient, and presentation.
Performance is of course the most important but for new products, you can't really tell unless you go off of reviews.
Scent is very subjective but I do enjoy a lot of EO citrus/bright scents. Anything too musky/spicy/dark is no-go for me.
Ingredient is pretty simple; not too much coconut oil and I stay away from SLES/stuff like that.
Presentation... I like it when the soap has clean labels with good presentation. Good for pictures and I like to enjoy seeing it.

Sexy labels! How can any red-blooded guy pass these up??
Performance to cost per number of shaves is my main consideration.
Reminds me of the US bomber planes from WWII.
2 things and all that should count..scent and performance... performance being no1 and scent no2 reason.... I can put up with a soap that performs great and smells bad but I canāt put up with a soap that smells great but performs bad
Slickness isn't the main thing.
It's the only thing.
Apologies to Vince Lombardi.
I agree whole heartedly.
Mass-produced? No lanolin? Shave stick? Ok, Iāll try it!
Performance- If it doesn't perform to my tastes or what my skin likes, I won't use it.
Scent- If I don't like the way it smells I won't use it.
When it comes to packaging I could care less.
