    Try searching the Cream/Soap review forums first, that is probably your safest bet. This link might work: Straight Razor Place Forums - Search Forums.

    Here is my personal favourite in this department:
    Edwin Jagger "Aloe Vera" shaving cream - Straight Razor Place Forums
    Moisturising: Again, more than enough. Where the cream really shines, though, is the soothing effect. Well, Aloe Vera has been used because of this effect for millennia, and it works marvellously well in this cream, too. If you have sensitive skin, this might be the biggest buying factor.

    Only one soap for me when it comes to sensitive skins and that's Trumper's Rose. Combine it with the Coral Skin Food for tough or thick beards.

    +1 on all of the above, especially MWF and EJ Aloe Vera - you could also try TOBS Avocado - it has avocado oil in it to help moisturise. IIRC Col Conk soaps also have avocado oil in some of them, so you could maybe try those too.
    Try to steer clear of really heavily scented soaps, the oils in these that are used for scent can be pretty hard on sensitive skin, especially if it's fragrance oil (as opposed to essential oil). Also, if you try a new soap, try and get a small sample first so you can see how your skin reacts to it and then work from there - saves you some cash instead of shelling out on a tube of something just to find it burns like hellfire.

    I've had pretty good luck with the Shave My Face brand of creams - available locally at our Whole Foods store.
