Hi Gents,
I'm new to both the forum and DE shaving in general. I've enjoyed reading and learning many tips and thoughts from many of you. Thanks!
I started off about 3 Months ago by wandering past an Art of Shaving store while on a business trip. I was sucked right in. Although I didn't make the plunge at that time, I did end up buying my first setup from Art of Shaving. I've since realized how vast and diverse the world of wet shaving truly is!! I'm just now feeling fairly confidant in technique. The "salesperson" didn't really offer much advice and I've learned more on YouTube then anywhere. The first few weeks (until I found YouTube videos) were brutal!! lol
So I just ordered some additional supplies to get a better understanding of what works best for me. Primarily, I'm trying to understand the differences, +/-to creams and soaps.
Thus far, I had only used the AoS lavender cream, so I ordered some Castle and Forbes lavender cream, and a RozoRock lavender artisan soap to try.
I guess my main question is this... The RazoRock soap seams very similar to the creams in consistency. I was expecting the soap to be harder, like a bar of soap is, not soft like the creams. If this normal? Is it just the type I bought?
Any insight, suggestion or advice anyone can give me is greatly appointed!

Thanks in advance!!
