Thanks for the kind words, Steve. I will say this, the glycerin has really made a nice difference for the comfort of my shaves. I think that I will try a soap this evening, either Tabac, DR Harris Arlington or maybe even the T&H shaving soap, if I get time to stop by their shop this afternoon. I have found my better lathers come from soaps so far. I find the T&H cream lathers a touch thin, which probably means I need to work on my cream technique.
