Thread: Most underrated soap/cream under $20

Curious to what everyone's pick is in a cheap soap/cream? Yesterday's shave was fantastic with razorock mudderfocker. Always get a great shave with it. It is the cheapest I own price wise other than Latoja. yet it outperforms some of my more expensive stuff. So what's your pick.

The standard/plain VDH I don't really care for,,, then one day I saw the VDH luxury soap next to it, like a dollar more,,, tried it & I think its a very good soap.

I was going to name the same soap. I really like the VDH Luxury soap.

Both Arko and Palmolive shave sticks are very under rated soaps in the sub, way sub really, $20 category. They work as sticks or I have formed them into bowls for normal brush loading and face lathering. Hard to beat the lather they both make for shaving. The Body Shop Maca Root cream is another that doesn,t get much mention either. I have bought a few expensive/high end soaps/creams, well over the $20 mark, in the last year and will likely not buy any more as I do not find the difference worth the money. For me there are plenty in the sub $20 range that work just fine.

I have an Arko stick just sitting in the shave den(small crampted bathroom) I didn't really think to press it into a bowl,,, thanks Bob,, I'm going to do that now.

Razorock Mudderfocker is for sure under rated as is all the RR soaps. Son Of Zeus is as good as any expensive soap out there. I have almost every flavor of RR and only one I don't care for. If you can buy a soap as good as RR for the same price or less, I have not seen one yet

Here's my top 5 cheap list.
Arko, LaToja, CO Bigelow, Speick, VDH with some glycerin.

I love all the Mama Bear soaps.

Mama Bears Soaps and Gift Shop , Mama Bears Shaving Soaps and Bath Products for the Discerning Gentleman and Lady

I'm with Bob on Arko and Palmolive. Both lather way above their price point.

ToB. I have cheaper stuff but for $10 to $15 you can't beat ToB.
