Mitchell's Wool Fat $13 refill puck and Pre de Provence standard scent $14.50 in aluminum tin. Both WCS. I've seen some sporadic sellers of both on EBAY even less with free shipping. I prefer to keep my money when appropriate in the California economy even with added shipping and state sales taxes.

This brings up a good point. I like to keep my money among the providers that contribute to wet shaving. I'm not a fan of cheap prices on eBay and Amazon.
Example, not too long ago you could get DR Harris in a wooden bowl on Amazon for $15 or so. I would guess that violates DR Harris' minimum advertised pricing requirement to get the products wholesale. The companies that make wet shaving great can't discount that much.

I buy locally grown produce at the Farmer's Market after walking down and bringing reusable bags to reduce my carbon footprint and keep the cash circulating more or less locally.
Then the local Fig industry realized what I've known since picking them in my grandfather's orchard; they are organic and what used to be a flat of @ 40 for $7 is a plastic clamshell of 6 for $5 with a proud organic code on them. I bought a pound of dehydrated figs from Turkey. My coffee is Kona. I happen to like Kona and know people in the Hawaiian industry. So now my carbon footprint getting it flown over is a bit larger and my community just became American produced by choice. I like brewing a quick cup in a Greek/Turkish Briki and mine along with those figs I dip in Belgian chocolate or wrapped in bacon just made my imprint and community worldwide. The two mentioned soaps come from two of my favorite countries to visit but a US importer is making a livelihood and it isn't Jeff Bezos. Ethical consumerism can get you so tied in knots you join the SIMPLICY MOVEMENT and grow a beard and plant your own Lima beans. NOT.

This would be my list too, although I haven't tried Haslinger (yet).

Even within the sea of great soaps, there is something about them. Get a few of'em tvbshaving. Just remember that they are lightly scented!!
Hear hear. Try it, Jeff. You won't regret it. Aside from the excellent performance, these small pucks lasts longer than I first expected.
