I recently started wet shaving. I came away from the cans of foam and now use saving soaps, brush and a straight razor. Those that straight shave or DE shave know what prep and the right soap is all about. After many hours of research and lots of time on Badger and Blade and SRP forum it has been decided the Italians and the Turks are make the best soaps (and the Brits). Poraso is the best of the lot and I love the Green Tea and Oats. Using this I have cut back on irritation and cuts.  It loads on my brush and makes cream like a nothing I have ever seen, except for wool fat.  Smells great and is a welcome addition to my other soaps.  I will buy this until I die.
