Thread: Creams or Soaps

My "Story."

Started with creams - why? - found them much easier to lather.

Later I began to buy soaps - why? - so I could make Uberlathers.

Discovered that making a lather with a soap is no harder than a cream... sometimes easier.

Ultimately, as per your question, I still prefer creams - why? - I find that they tend to produce more of a scent (and i am a scent whore). This however is mute when you use your creams sparingly, as I find that my creams begin to lose scent the second they are opened... all be it gradually. Of course some more than others. The soaps that I have had haven't seemingly been effected this way as long as I cover them when done.

Another thing I have found is that if I want to do a one pass shave, a soap is a way better way to go as it is easier to use sparingly. But that's not something I need worry about as I am a two pass min kind oh dude (beard grows in all kinds of directions).

Anyway, those are my observations. Making your own is the best part of this hobby lol.
