Thread: Soap user who's a little jealous of the variety of creams out there

I agree with BobH, Spendur and Harry. Limiting yourself to one type of soap eliminates a lot of the fun with wet shaving.

Try different types. The SSAD will soon kick in and the need for a larger cabinet will be your main worry.

Have fun, it is just soap.

I've tried soaps and creams of all different prices, KY jelly, oil and just water and (apart from water only, which takes more care when shaving to prevent dig-ins) I honestly couldn't say any of them makes much of a difference to me. What am I missing?

Nothing.

It is often said any type of shaving soap will make a good shaving lather. Knowing how to make the lather is the key.

KY Jelly is new one to me. har

That's not what I heard As the impeccably well-dressed gentleman with the lisp and the funny walk who lent me the tube said,"Don't knock it until you've tried it" I agree with you about producing a good lather making a difference, I just don't see much difference between the various soaps and creams.

Lather from soap or cream, if it's good stuff and you do your job , theres no difference , so just man up and get it if that's what you want. Tc

I suppose you could use the cream to make uberlather.
