What is the purpose of this thread Robin? Are you displaying a deal that you got or is there a way for everyone to get this soap at this price? Maybe it’s that if you wait and look long and hard that you don’t have to pay such high prices?
The point Robin was making is that someone is probably making a profit selling these quality soaps at a low price while we habitually pay high prices for soaps that are not necessarily any better. We willingly pay these prices largely because of brand names that we associate with quality. For myself, I am perfectly happy using the various Proraso products, MWF and an Australian pharmacy brand that sells for a few dollars. I've tried a few high end products and have found that they aren't that much better (or better at all) than my regulars.
