But in terms of bang for the buck, the most impressive semi-premium product I've tried are the WSP Rustic Shaving Soaps. At around $12 each, much better than Proraso and much easier to lather than lots of premium products.
For creams I'd say Nivea Sensitive

hmm I've seen a lot for and a lot against stirling, can anyone explain the pros and cons? could only find positive reviews when i tried looking
I think it's a great soap, but it definitely took a little work to get just what I needed. I had to stop expecting the thick, frothy lather I was used to and I started going for more of a dense and slick lather. Great soap at a great price point, but there are plenty of other soaps that are much easier to get the hang of.
Pros: great scent selection, affordable, slick lather, good customer service
Cons: lather can be finicky and inconsistent to attain. YMMV, this is my experience
I rather pay a little more for something like Tiki or Catie's Bubbles that easily produce a perfect and consistent lather imo

My XXX smells doughy to me. Lol. Idk why... The actually scent is very faint, but I pick up a lot of the tallow doughy smell. Idk how to explain it. I haven't lathered it yet, maybe it'll change with some water and heat
very much appreciated abragus and b_market
Mine smells the same, it doesn't get much use because of that
