I take shaving as a hobby now to cost per shave is of zero interest to me if I enjoy the soap, plus over the life of the soap, as many have said, the difference is tiny. I'm not dogmatic about mass produced vs. artisan or vegetal vs. tallow. I buy it, try it and if I like it I keep it. As simple as that.
There isn't a single soap that everyone one thinks is wonderful. Haslinger is getting a lot of love in this thread but I've tried three and they simply didn't have enough slickness for me (pls don't tell me I was using it wrong - I know how to lather.) Many of the artisan soaps are available in sample size so the cost of experimenting is reduced. Alternatively use Shavedash buy a selection and make up your own mind.
We are all different so what works of one of us will not necessarily work for you. If you want to exclusively use 49p Palmolive stick, or Trumpers Eucris (because you like a challenge) or Haslinger or PanaCrema Nuavia because that's the soap you enjoy using most then carry-on. In my experience the only way you'll know is to try it yourself.
