It really makes a difference when you can soak the soap in hot water for a while, and dissolve a quantity in the water before lathering up - especially with my soft badger brush. Unfortunately, while I've had one or two excellent shaving experiences with these soaps, I'm not consistent yet - but the scents make me want to keep trying.

The creams were disappointing. They had a thick, paste-like texture. They lathered quite poorly, and I did not enjoy the shave. In particular, if someone has some insight on these creams, please share.
Her soaps are the best I have ever used, period! The scents are superior to anyones'. And the lather provides the best performance I have experienced. That being said, I just got a tub of her cream. I have used it only once, so I do not have the corrections proportions down yet. I have read in other postings that you need to use more cream than with other brands when trying to develop the correct lather.
