Thanked: 1It depends on preference. I use Colleen's soaps and creams and love both but I lean toward the cream for a couple of reasons. First, I made a scuttle to have warm lather and I can mix the cream right in the scuttle. Secondly, soap tends to dry slightly faster on my face than does cream.

I go back and forth as well. The cream I've tried, Proraso, seems a little thinner than my soaps. I like to build the lather on my face, and soaps are easier for this.
That said, starting a lather with a soap and then mixing in some cream produces a very slick, cushion-y lather that would be great for newbies. Learning to get a good lather can a little tricky at first, and this method gives you more room for error.
Good luck,
Josh

I've go some good creams but soaps are just more convenient for me. Always in a dish, always ready to use instead of me having to squeeze them out

For me it's definitely a cream preference. It's just gentler on my skin and a great cream is very moisturising. That said, a good soap like those Colleen makes are almost as good as the average cream in those respects.

Real men use soaps-just kidding.
Its a preference thing. Personally I prefer soaps. I had never really warmed to creams and then I tried castle forbes and now I think its the best shaving prep out there.No matter how many men you kill you can't kill your successor-Emperor Nero
