Keep in mind that I'm still new to SR shaving. I've been doing okay, using both hands, occasional nicks, nothing major.

I've been using AoS creme, tonight I tried van der Hagen soap (cheap stuff). I haven't touched a shaving soap since I was a kid. I think I might like the soap better, though I'll reserve my opinion to more than one shaving. It cleaned off the razor easier and I think I might have a slightly closer shave.

Experts, can you chime in? Soap vs. creme. Does one perform better than the other? I know some brands are preferred over others.

Oh, and here's a gasser - besides the Hagen soap, I have a new in the box bar of Colgate soap. Do they still make that stuff?
