Before I bought my straight razor I shave exclusively with a Schick Quattro razor and barbasol shaving cream. When I got my SR I bought some MWF and love it. The other day I didn't have time to use the SR (im still pretty new and take a lot of time to shave with it) but instead of using my old cream I mixed up a MWF lather and used that. The difference between the cream and the soap was night and day. The Quattro slid easily and didn't tear up my neck like it usually did. It was defiantly the best cartridge shave I've ever had. Plus, my after shave didn't burn like it normally would.

Anyone else use a cartridge razor as a back up and use a soap instead of canned cream?
