    You got that right brother! Much better stuff than Col. Conk at not much more price.

    This is what I use and I really like it, much, much better than Conk.

    I grated my last puck in the washing machine. The crap still didn't make any suds.

    I guess with time and experience my selection will be more expansive. I saw it online and it was cheap. I’ve also been able to lather it up pretty good.

    It doesn't have to be expensive to be good. Give good old Tabac or Mitchell's Wool Fat a try. I still use Van Der Hagen Luxury for my workday shaves. All three of the above have Conk beat hands down. VDH can be purchased at your local Walmart.

    If i remember right, i got lather from it, but when i lathered up, it would start evaporating quickly. Lather in a bowl, do one pass and i had to make more lather as it faded away. I do like a gliser8an soap, this was just not for me. We all start somewhere and you dont meed to spend 60 bucks on a jar of soap. But when you do, you will find a new world in soap. And as been said, there are plenty out there that are low cost and work very well.
    I tried Mamabears a couple days ago and was plesently surprised.
