+1. I used to be a soap guy and strictly did face lathering. I now do the superlather more often then not. Always lather in a bowl because it works better for me. I like the triple milled stuff like Harris and Trumpers and the glycerin based soaps such as those by QED and Coleen. Also Tabac and MWF. I use a few different flavors of Salter's cream. I may branch out to try other creams if I can quit buying razors and rocks.
