Which are the more/less thirsty soaps?

Dear fellow shavers

in your experience which soaps want the biggest amount of water to make the lather and which ones the smallest.

Most Thirsty :?

Less Thirsty :?
 
In my very limited experience:

Williams is extremely thirsty, requiring a puck soaking before it can be used well.. Mikes and VDH Deluxe seems to work for me without a puck soak.
 
Resurrecting A Tomb Tread I guess (lol)

Most: MWF - Has to be the thirstiest soap in my den by far, but it also probably the slickest (probably since it needs so much water)

Least: Can't really say, since all my other soaps besides MWF, require about the same amount of water (more or less)
 
De Vergulde Hand soap is very thirsty. I bet that most who use it initially underestimate how much water it can take (and needs).
 
Most Thirsty: Barrister & Mann or Mickey Lee Soapworks
For these, I find it hard to add too much water.

Least Thirsty: Mystic Waters
The smallest amount of water can make this soap explode into amazing lather. The flip side is it can also become unusable is you add too much; it's still one of my favorite soaps.
 
Most thirsty - Calani (wow, this stuff drinks water and then comes back for more!)

Least thirsty - I Coloniali (fantastic slickness with minimal water)
