Josh,
I have very sensitive facial skin and the normal cup soaps dry it out. I use Tom's of Maine shaving cream as it's not drying and pretty natural. The only complaint I have about it is that the tube looks the same as their spearmint toothpaste and while I haven't brushed my teeth with shaving cream yet, it may be a possibility for others. Alternatively, someone might have a breakthrough shaving with toothpaste! ; )
