    I'm not so motivated on the price. If CF is better ill try it. Especially if it's practically the same price.

    Getting a good lather hasn't been an issue. Obviously it's super easy with the creams. But I've had luck with soaps too. It seems like folks are kinda split 50/50 on which...

    I'm probably going to order a tube of Proraso from them. Maybe I'll get a sample or two of something else...

    Might just be me but CF seems to be more concentrated.

    Yes, to me, CF seems more concentrated. It is more like a soft soap or a hard cream. You can actually just swirl you wet brush on top, load it and face lather.

    Wow! Where are folks going for the CF stuff? The sources I have don't seem to carry it.

    I pay 40 for CF plus shipping. I pay 20 for AoS plus 7% tax.

    My take.

    It may be the knuckledragger in me but I don't get the fancy smells and premium prices. I melt and pour my own. 2 lbs brick of glycerin soap =$10, EOS, bennonite, Vitamin E, etc = $10. A years worth of shaving soap for $20. Done. Next.

    I also buy Dr. Bonners by the gallon.

    But that's just me.
