Louis,
For me, the Tallow based Palmolive shave sticks are a superb low cost soap. Their aroma is more fresh & soapy than anything else !
I don't know if they are easily available in the USA ?
Even in the rip-off UK, they can be found for ca 0.50 GBP (ca 0.75 USD), which is a bargain
It looks like the tallow based Palmolive sticks are made in Germany (or at least packaged in Germany!).
Have fun !
Best regards
Russ

Easy to lather and quality for a good price I would recommend Col Conk shaving soap, Van Der Hagen would be second. If you dont mind spending a pretty penny I would recommend Mitchells Wool Fat shave soap or D.R. Harris. Beyond that I can't say

+1 on the tallow palmolive. Great soap and can be had from eBay for like $3 delivered.

Tabac is one the easiest soaps to lather I have used.
The speick shave sticks work really well too and sell for around $5.

Okay, forget about Williams! If you want another class of lather go with Proraso, or better still - Tabac. Can't beat either for the money.

Fellow SRP member Colleen Hurly makes great soaps. But I read she is packing up shop for a while, so you may want to hurry and score some.
The Gentleman's Quarter is the name of her biz.
