The thing is, I could feel myself going down the route
of wanting to try more and more expensive soaps because "performance",
I don't really care about fragrance and quite like the smell of "soap".
gazza said:But its a genuine question.
With all the fantastic performing sticks available from 49p to £1.50
and MWF/Kent soap at £6ish a puck, what is the draw for soaps and creams
costing >£15 a tub?
I have been involved in a number of hobby/collectors forums before and spent £1000's
so I understand the hobbyist/collector/completist mindset , but having recently
chosen life in the work/life balance I find myself on a seriously restricted budget
and cant personally "buy to try" these days.
I find myself needing to ask the question because last week I tried Tabac stick for the first time and found it easily
outperformed the admittedly small number of more expensive soaps Ive tried,
and then last night I tried La Toja and was completely blown away by the performance.
So genuinely I'm wondering if there is a performance advantage to more expensive products
or if its the enjoyment of experimenting.
