Thread: Cream vs. Soap

I refuse to even strain my brain, as to which of the two might be better, I simply mix the two with a few drops of pure glycerin and create a self-indulgent Uberlather.... See no questions easy as pie

I mean really we spend all that time honing, stropping, and shaving, why shouldn't we spend a few seconds, and pennies more, and really have fun

I imagine that the few extra $ will be for the box, the ribbon(s) and of course labour. This seems like the most logical explanation.

I'm a cream guy. I don't own a bar of soap at all, neither regular soap nor shaving soap.

Naturally, I will try a shaving soap at one point, but to my mind creams are - well, the cream of the crop.

I started with creams, but now I'm about 80% soap. I have two creams that I do use, Proraso in the summer because it feels so good, and Castle Forbes because it is just a softer soap and provides tons of lather.
