As I am fairly new to this lark I found myself rather snobbishly dismissing my Palmolive grated sticks in favour of soaps costing ten times more but not offering any benifits over the Palmolive. I have never had a bad shave using the green stuff. It had super glide and great lather. I think it suffers in the shaving community from being over looked as it is the common or garden soap. While artisans come and go Palmolive is still there on the supermarket shelf for less than 50p
Haslinger is the Dogs Danglies as You Say..The Scents are Kinda Bland but So What..The Quality of the Slickness & Glide of this Stuff is Great..Goes on Like Plaster if You Desire & Cheap..I seem to have fallen into the soap trap of late, tried many but my stand-by/go-to is Haslinger, nothing I try seems to be better than that in any dept. other than scent and scent really should be the last thing you buy a soap for. Saying all of that I am quite keen on trying Razorock XXX, just for research purposes obviously. It doesn't matter what one's little vice is, in our case it is shaving, there is always the "what if" thought and perhaps a little snobbery in the purchase of more ways to make our "vice" that bit better. You have only got to look at the "for sales" section of any shaving forum to realise most "what ifs ?" have not lived up to expectations or hype. If you are indeed happy with what you are using I'd be tempted to stick with it, if it is economic to use all the better.
Ha HA!!Erm, I had presumed that it was Arko @JohnnyO was talking about.
You mean there is actually something called Blessed Soap of Turkey??

Here is a Good Seller..Does a Good Deal with Postage & Slight Discount when Buy 2 Pucks..Billy, Billy, Billy ... you are an inspiration as always - I will now have to buy some Haslinger! Palmolive today, Haslinger tomorrow. I concur that a lot of soaps are desirable because of their 'different' fragrances, but when you consider that they pretty much disappear once the shave is done, you should really go for performance. Thus Arko, Palmolive, Tabac, etc. The classics ... Not forgetting Trumper of course.
One of the reasons I really like Barrister and Mann Baudelaire is because the scent lingers for hours after the shave. But Palmolive is smashing stuff to actually shave with.Billy, Billy, Billy ... you are an inspiration as always - I will now have to buy some Haslinger! Palmolive today, Haslinger tomorrow.
