Review (5/5): You can go cheap and spend more or you can go with this one.  You get what you pay for
Have been using brush and soap to shave since I was on my first Submarine in '77 and still use them. Bought this soap in June of 2014 and ordering my replacement today April, 2014 and still have about a month or two left on the original. Very foamy, smooth, and last a long time. Yes it is more than the cheap stuff, but by now I would have gone through 10 or 12 cakes of the cheap stuff. You cannot go wrong with this soap for comfort, smooth shave, and lasting a long time.
