Jeff,

I have the T&H soap...one of the best!

I have a T&H West India Limes cream that I am very fond of. I like the citrus smell. I'm almost finished with two of my tubs of cream, so when those are gone, I may rotate a few soaps in when I look for more.

But right now, I'm pretty much a cream man.

Not necessarily. Some lather the cream directly onto the face, so there's actually less clean up than with soap, or at least no more.

I use both depending on my mood. I guess I favor the creams a bit. I have T&H, Trumpers, Vulvix and Taylor. I think that Taylor Avocado and Eton College are awesome performers for the money. I like Ray's soaps a lot and also QED lavendar is amazing. They use really high quality oils and it actually smells like a field of lavendula.

Good point ~ I should have said that "for me" there is more to clean up. I'm a lather bowl kind of guy with creams. Don't know how many of you guys have tried Castle Forbes creams, but I'd rank them at the top out of all the big creams. They have two flavors, essential lavender oil and essential lime oil. They are thick, so I feel they go a little further. This justifies the price premium to me. The lime is my favorite cream hands down. Wonderful lime scent, real, almost like green life savers! I could live with only that cream and a Harris soap and I'd be happy.

Yeah, I use a bowl too so there is that cleanup as well. I use both soaps and creams as well and I like both. Just depends on my mood I guess.
