I think that the different qualities of a soap are kind of interrelated and I would hate to sacrifice one for another. For me it is about a balance of properties. There are some soaps that are too strong and leave my face feeling less than refreshed. Post shave feel is a factor for me, but not the most important, but certainly part of the balance. It is all about having some of everything for me. There is the lather and how picky it is, the slickness, the scent and the post shave feel. Some soaps that are not on my favorites list for not having the balance of all the elements, not that they are bad soaps, just not meeting all the criteria.
