My only soap is developing a hole in the middle so I thought I'd stock up.

Haslinger Schafmilch Rasierseife: I saw it on a post on here a while ago and it stuck into my head.
Saponificio Varesino Argania: I heard they last a long time, I really hope so for the price! Greg praised them in his videos if I remember correctly. I know nothing of scents so I just read them all and narrowed it down to a few based on vibes. Then I chose Argania because the picture with the tree looked the coolest...
The Goodfellas' Smile Shibusa 2: An affordable option to try a soap with tallow.
Osma tradition Pierre D'Alun: I didn't have any yet and since I am a straight razor shaver there are enough opportunities to use one 😅
Saponificio Bignolic Vetiver: A bath soap, just a small preparation for mothers day when that comes.
They nicely gave me 5 "Tatra platinum" DE blades. I don't have a DE, maybe I'll give it to a friend.

I smelled the Argania and it does smell really nice indeed. My next shave is on Sunday, I am excited to try it. I probably wont open the other two at least until I emptied my current soap.

TGS is rather nice to start with too, their soaps were my entry level into the hobby. Of course the SV will blow it out of the water in terms of quality, but considering the low price of Goodfellas it's a good option. Enjoy your shaves!
