I mostly use cream, because I love the CF products.But Colleens soaps are also great.
Okay, I'm a soap guy, since I only have one soap, a Dr. Harris Arlington, which I just love. BUT, today I received a TAoS unscented cream sample (The Different Scent sent me a ton of samples, like 4-5 with my straight, very recommended vendor), which is probably good for at least two goes, so as soon as I've gotten a feel of my straight, I'm gonna try that out and post an update here and a review in the review section here if there isn't one... :)
I like Mama Bear's soaps in various different flavors but always give a shot of Kiss My Face unscented cream to the brush plus a couple drops of glycerin for an uberlather. The unscented cream doesn't change the scent of the soap but gives an added dimension to the lather. I have been doing this for a couple months and it is the best lather I have used so far.

Oh yeah man, I forgot to mention the answer in my post ;-). I like both, as long as they are good ;-). No preference a priori.
Al raz.
I want to use soap as I find it more classy but I do find the lather not to be as good as cream.
The soaps I have are trufitt&hill, Colleen's sandalwood and Edwin Jagger's sandalwood (never used, but love the scent)
I find that colleen's have worked best of the two I have tried, but it might be due to that my lathering skills have improved.
I also use Palmolive's cream that I find gives a very rich shiny lather that I can't get with soaps. It is easier to get that great lather from the cream rather than from the soaps..But I wan't to be a soap guy:cry:
Is it just the nature of soap to have a lighter lather and creams to have a richer and thicker lather, or is it just my inexperience with lathering up?:shrug:
