Looking for something cheap, but surprisingly effective

The new Proraso Super Formula is very good. You could get the 3 pack of these soaps along with a 3P soap from Labarbiera with change from £20. That should give some variety and good shaves for a while.

3P is my bargain gem. I need to regularly stop myself from trying to stockpile it.
 
I have recently tried a couple of the 'Haslinger' soaps - currently £6.95 from Amazon. Small pucks but provide an amazing lather with very little effort. There are a few different ones, I would give you the names of the ones I have but my German is not up to it (made in Austria). Definitely worth a try.
 
I am a fan of Cella, I don't know how other people use it but I take a teaspoonful out of the tub into a small ceramic dish and it lasts and lasts, I forget the cost, perhaps around £7 but it could last over a year and produces a rich lather.

I still have a few sticks of Palmolive, I am happy that I future proofed a supply a few years ago on one of the many rumours of production stopping.

Worth stocking up
 

That is a bargain, a very good product that works well.

Thanks for posting the link.
 
"I need to regularly stop myself from trying to stockpile it" This is very much something I can relate to.
 
My Cella goes off very quickly. I have two unused tubs. If I start using one, I will store it in the fridge. Should they be in fridge already?

Probably. I've had two pots of the original, both went dark and lost most of their scent before I got half way through them... They still lathered fine but just weren't enjoyable.
