I love both of these soaps and I would put Mystic Water and Shannon's Soaps in the "hard to beat" category too.

I bought the R41 head during Maggard's Black Friday sale. Only used it a couple times but seem to remember it having some "bite"...very likely due to my poor technique Smile

I'll have to go with pretty much anything from Stirling and Rockwell. Also, Astra SP's

The Rockwell 2C at $30 is the exact same razor as the 6C which is $50. The difference is that the 2C comes with one plate - the #1 / #3 plate. The 6C, of course, has all three plates.

Noble Otter is pretty damn good value for performance.

I also find the combo deal on Barrister and Mann Seville is also a very good value for performance. It’s quite a cheap combination and is pretty close to the Latha line territory.

I did not try Shannon's Soaps yet but I have to agree with you 100% on Mystic water! Excellent performer, affordable price, super excellent post shave, yup "hard to beat" category. Another best value!

Pre de Provence shaving soap. ~$16 (sometimes even down to $13 bucks for a 5.5 oz tin of quad milled soap, this tin isn't going to run out any time soon. Great lather, light scent in either "freshly laundered linen" (lol), or the mildly sweet tobacco of no. 63, I like both. It takes a little longer to load due to the quad milling, but at the price it's a steal IMHO. The aftershave balm is great too. Imo very similar to L'Occitane Case balm in performance, but half the price. Score!!!!!

If this was a year or two ago, if say the B&M Latha line. Couldn't really beat that performance for the price.

You could probably say any blade is a good deal, but I've been getting 10+ shaves out of the yellow pack Gillette SharpEdges.

If I were to buy a 100 pack of those for ~$13, I would pay off my car before I ran out of blades.

WOW, this question really gets the mind working. I see some already posted and I am going to post more than this because it is an answer i want to keep in my mind when it comes to reordering. So first ones that are on top is the Karve with C&D If I had one with only a C plate i would be good. And TOBS, I really have found value and quality in many of there offerings.
