This is, perhaps, overly obvious to warrant a post, but I just had a subpar shave with a cream and thought I'd share.

When you are addicted to trying new products and have soap acquisition disorder(SAD) like I do, you're gonna end up with some clunkers. I know I've picked up some real under-performers over the years. But, if I'm not happy with a soap, it goes straight to the shower. And I've had some fantastic showers with some pretty lame shaving soaps.

With a cream, you don't have the opportunity of giving it a second life and recouping a least some of your investment. You're just left with a tub of worthless goo.
