you and that Rum Runner are getting to be like @Yehuda D and his Plissoft razors .almost ..daily usage.
If I had answered this question a year ago I would have said soaps are better, now I'm really liking creams. I face lather so I put a dab of cream on the tip of my brush and go at it. Tubes are easier to store, travel with. A great member here turned me on to Russian creams, I haven't looked back.
I suppose I can appreciate that analogy, but I've done both now, and never did a manual transmission car
Both get you to your destination, but the manual takes more work, and is often more fun! No manuals in NASCAR...
We both popped the clutch when the light turned green Ya shoulda heard the whine from my screamin machine. (from Jan&Dean)
I found the soaps bring a much better protection than creams in general - soaps last longer as well Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
I favor soaps but I've got some creams that I bought two years ago that I really need to start using. I know the Proraso, and TOBS, have some longevity but I'm not so sure about the Dove For Men Brush Cream that I got at Grocery Outlet. I bought two 6.7 ounce tubs for $5.98, and a bottle of the ASB for $2. The cream and balm actually work pretty well. Dove put's out some good mens care products. Clayton
