It’s hard to beat a stick or tube when going budget! You get the smells, and you get the simplicity of use. Budget, practical, and enjoyment. Can’t beat it.

It is important to remember that weight should be considered first than price. Most soaps are generally around 4, 5 and 6 ounces. Use that as a gauge than look at price. I believe bobmsp (#3) indicated Haslinger. However, that is an expensive soap because it is 2 ounces for approximately $8.50. If it was 5 ounces it would cost about $21.

Weight than price

Although Cella is a little over budget, you’d be hard pressed to find anything that’s a better value than a kilo/liter of Cella/Vitos from TVB Shaving. You can get something close to 2 years worth of soap for $8-17 with reasonable shipping.

That is a good price where did you get that? The other question Haslinger recently changed their formula from tallow to vegan which one are you purchasing? There are still some tallow soaps left in a few places.

Could you send me am private message and let me know where you purchase Haslinger for $4.50 to $5.00 in the US. I have checked four of the largest mail order houses who stock the soap and the cheapest I found was $7.99. Even Amazon charges $9.00. If I can purchase it for that price I will stock up providing it is tallow base.

Like you I have several tallow base Haslinger soaps which I am very found of. I have read some threads and replys that those who have used tallow are not in love of the vegan formula.

The tallow based has been phased out & is no more. Gifts & Care is in Spain and their shipping rates to the USA were exorbitant the last time I looked.
Secretary Ramsey put his foot into it yesterday . . . in the course of his remarks he said that California “needs water and better society.”  “So does h-ll,” yelled someone in the crowd.

I have been purchasing products from several countries in Europe for many years. Accordingly, I have been following the conversation rate of a US Dollar to the EU Euro for about five years. Granted if someone in the US purchases from Europe they do not pay VAT (Value Added Tax). Over the last 4 years I have purchased 14 custom brushes from one company England and two companies in Germany. I have been following a benchmark of 168€ to the dollar. When I purchased my brushes, 168€ cost me any where from $179 to $183. In the last 2 years the dollar has weakened and 168€ now has converted to as high as $202. It has finally come down (the dollar is stronger) and today 168€ will cost almost $192.

So what does that mean 4,34€ in the past 2 years will cost $5. If you purchase one puck of soap from the company you told me about, shipping will cost 5,60€ or $6.50 for a total of $11.50. Not a bargain. And the shipping goes up from there. It is not the advertised price of the soap but what it will cost you to get it into your house. Another thing to keep in mind the price the bank will charge you on you credit card for the conversation which is generally 15%.
