Thread: Question about soap vs. cream....

Hi, and welcome to SRP ! I have actually tried that cream and did not have good results, but that's me. The only thing it's good for would be for use in Uber Later...(See WIKI) In other words to help build a better lather. It doesn't stand well on it's own for Str8 razor shaving IMHO. I have about 75 soaps/creams on hand in my rotation. I like trying different ones all the time and comparing.
Soaps vs Creams is a common topic around here, and if you do a search, you'll find lots of data. it's basically personal preference. Creams offer more protection when you shave, Soaps generally give good feedback. Check out Straight razor designs web site. They have great soaps, high end stuff at affordable prices. Other good soaps that are readily available are Tabac, Mitchell's wool fat, Mama Bear's and TGQ. These are the most recommended soaps on the site. For Shave Creams, Castle Forbes, TOBS, Truefitt and Hill, (T&H 1805 is my favorite btw) you can buy a cheap brush at Wal Mart, you can use a small bowl to build lather to start just to test the waters. Once you see if it's for you, then think about investing in some nicer gear...If you need help, just ask....or pm me...
