I prefer soap, but I'll throw in a cream or two during the week.

I prefer soaps to creams with one exception and thats castle Forbes. Its the greatest shaving prep in the universe.

I alternate. Mostly soaps one week and then creams the next week. No preshave products just soaps and creams.

All I use are creams, T&H, Castle Forbes, Taylor's and TGQ is what I have now. I have two cakes of soap, one from classicshaving I got with a mug and one from shavingshop that was thrown in with an order. I don't really use soaps though, they're still in the packaging.

Mainly I use soap, but sometimes I get lazy and just shampoo m beard and shave with the shampoo. Soapwise I alternate between Williams Mug Brand, some I purchased on ebay (peaches and cream or bay rum scent) and Burma Shave. I also have 3 bars of Black Cavendish on it's way and am looking forward to giving it a try.

I find myself using both soap and cream here lately for super lather.

I have this, and it is one of my favorite soaps! LOVE the scent, and it lathers very well. Especially when combined with a cream (like AoS' cream).

I use Soap and Cream mixed. For me it seems to give me the slickness and the cushion, been using it that way since I started shaving with Straights.

I sold out!!

I never thought I'd say this but The Art of Shaving's cream is awesome. My GF bought a tub for me and it's a guaranteed great shave. I would have never bought it on my own, because I thought they were "yuppified", but now I stop over to their store on Madison/47th to get more. The pre-shave oil works well too.

Good to be back at SRP.

Agreed! After trying their samples of oil/cream/balm, I am sure I will be ordering online VERY soon.

Just a side note, AoS' cream goes well with Colleen's soap!

I started out using their cream, so I am spoiled when it comes to lather...
try using that along with some of Mama Bears soap for a super lather...
I find that sandalwood and jasmine go well together scent wise, and the lather can't be beat.

I prefer soaps most of the time. Probably because I have more of them than I do creams.

TGQ & QED are my typical go to soaps. With a dash of T&F Luxury and AOS unscented on the side.

I prefer to use cream. Mainly - until now - Truefitt & Hill 1805, Grafton and Ultimate comfort; The Art of Shaving unscented and Vulfix sicilian lime. I sometimes use soap also (L'Occitane Cade and T&H Luxury shaving soap). It seems easier to me to have a wonderful lather with cream than with soap... but maybe it is the brush... or my bad technique
