Currently working on dialing in Haslinger Schafmilk after unsuccessfully trying to perfect MWF for about a month. I'm looking for a really dense lather. Is there a better option than Haslinger out there (other than artisan options like as MdC)? I may eventually try the higher-end soaps, but part of the fun of wetshaving for me is finding really good cheap solutions to problems.Thanks everyone.
What's the least-airy, slickest non-artisan soap?

Dr. Selby. Very slick.

DR Harris, MdC, Simpsons (croap)...
I'm a fan of MWF but honestly Haslinger is hard to beat.
Speick stick.
Cella from the non artisans that I have tried so far.
Razorock pucks are decent. 100g for under $10cad.
Arko or Williams Mug Soap.
I'd recommend something like Cyril R. Salter's hard soap. One of the fellow non-artisan offerings that still contains tallow so it feels denser and a little richer to me. It's never been super airy for me. Highly recommended especially if you're into lavender as a scent.

Great list in this thread! For what it is worth, I currently enjoy the following:
Haslinger (all eight options)
Vito’s red
Cella (red brick)
La Toja
MWF
PdP

I'll add Proraso to the above suggestions. Both the Green and Red are a doddle to lather and have bags of slickness.
Haslinger
La Toja
L’Occitane Cade
Arko

I’m not a fan of Arko but if you want cheaper option Arko is great, more expensive Dr. Harris.
I don't think Williams is a good option for someone who struggles with MWF plus it's not cheap anymore. Arko is a nice option though
I'm thinking you want a more yogurt lather than a whipped cream lather.
Saponificio Varesino
Baume. BE. cream. not the soap.
Westman Shaving.

I'll be honest. Proraso is great. Dove Men+Care 3 in 1 bar soap is actually better.
Just FYI, it's not Dr. Harris, it's DR Harris. They are initials.
Stone Cottage Soap Works makes a cream that you can scoop out amd lather. It is reasonably priced and makes a nice, dense lather.
