And the Amici splash is easily my current favorite. Just a wonderful finish, and seriously...only $7.99.  That$11 for a fantastic soap and splash combo.

You really can't beat that anywhere. Not even with a big stick!

All of the Italian Barber and Razorock products are so reasonably priced and have excellent performance...in my very humble opinion, anyhow...

I agree BadDad. I am not a cologne wearer and for the longest time didn't even use AS but only witch hazel. Then became addicted to the burn.

Being the case I have never really matched soaps and AS-only have two in fact that do match, both Razorock. Santa Maria del Fiore and Amici.

razorock Amici has a great scent and one of the best values of this past year IMHO.

I am a big fan & 100% in awe of the cost to performance ratio of the $5 RazoRock / IB soaps.

As a perfectionist, one question I've always had is what would could be done to make them perform even better for an extra $5. At $10 a soap they would still crush the value to cost ratio.

I know this is their soaps & creams thread, but their $3 bath soaps are awesome. I don't think I've found a soap that lathers better than the razorock bath soaps, personally.

Good price specially when you are starting out, but to be honest the soaps I got was pretty mediocre in performance if I compare it to other artisans like B&M, Catie's, MLS etc. but then again the price isn't the same so I have to be fair.

Good bang for the buck.

I love the Italian Barber line. Great cost to performance. My first soaps were from them and Stirling. I guess I started out with the cheaper ones money wise but still very good stuff. My only complaint is the scent was a little weak on a couple of the Italian B ones.

You can't compare a $15 soap to a $5 soap and expect a favorable impression. You can buy a $3 tub of Amici and a $6 tube of Proraso blue from Italian Barber and make an incredible super lather tha will outperform a $15 artisan soap, and still be ahead of the game...
