I am a Shave soaper I find my self ditching my creams and heading for soap almost everytime. Any one else perfer one or the other? I also love the Superlather but during the week it takes to much time. Usually I just run soap over a brush, run it on my face and go all slick! How bout you? Vote away!
I love soaps. Hoewever this past week I've been really appreciating creams. I'm still a soap man at heart though
I probably have more soaps than creams, but I really like different ones of each. I really like Crabtree & Evelyn Sienna cream, but I love all of Mama Bear's soaps that I have tried so far. (Esp. lavender!)
I made my return to DE shaving with creams in 2005 and I still prefer creams. I like the ease and speed with which creams produce obscene amounts of lather, as well as the extra cushioning and protection they afford. I have very few soaps and do use them occasionally. Maybe I'll use more soaps in the future. I especially like the sound of the new Clear Skies soap that MB is offering....Rosemary, Lavender & Peppermint.....reminds me of one of my favorite creams!
That's how I voted as well, but I do enjoy a cream and/or a superlather every now and again :happy088
I chose "SuperLather" because I've had THE best shaves using SL. My usual choice is Soaps, tho. 20 soaps in my collection vs. 2 creams. You do the math.
Started with soap but for now prefer creams. Now I must ask what is Super Lather? Sounds interesting.
Paul..... different folks will give you different methods but heres how I do it. **************************************************** Take hot water and pour directly onto soap. Let sit for a cuppa minutes. Take dry brush and load with cream of your choice. Dump hot soapy water into lather bowl. Take loaded brush to hot soapy water and go to town !! Best lather ever !!
17 soaps and 10 creams. One for every day of the month almost. I can get same amount of lather out of either one with different techniques for soaps versus creams. My go to set up though is either the C&E Sweet Almond or Nancy Boy Creams when I've abused my face. If I'm in the mood for a pure barber shop day I will go with all Proraso. The soaps give me so many wonderful scents and that is great since I don't use colognes very much.

Shaving is a sensation and feeling which i want to feel well daily so whatever i use (soap or cream) , i enjoy it fully . I shall prefer creams more than soaps as i am always comfortable with creams.
