OK.Today I went shopping with a budget.I was shopping for shaving soap in a tube.I found three that were of a budget price.For £1.50 there was Ingram.It had a touch of menthol in it which is good but I didn't think it lathered well.For 99p there was Palmolive.Yes good thick lather and little scent.Certainly worth the price.But for me the best was the Erasmic tube.Very little smell but a very rich/thick lather.I would buy the Erasmic again.I got all three from a no name shop in Stirling.Also got witch hazel for 99p.If this is available for me here I bet there is a shop in your town with the same goodies.There is no way I'm gonna spend cash on fancy smelling shave soaps when these are available and function perfectly.If you do fancy a soap costing £15 that smells of rose or whatever go ahead.Its up to you.There are guys on forums that will tell you how good xyz soap is and thats fine.For me its about the blade and the shave.Not how much I payed for some soap P.S ...if you are hung up on the smell of the soap,just buy one of the cheapos mentioned and add one drop of the essential oil of your choosing e.g rose.For me it all goes down the sink.I would care more about the pleasing aroma from my balm/aftershave or hair pomade.
