Wetshavers: Soaps -vs- Creams
A couple questions here. First, do you prefer soaps or creams or like them both? Why?
Then, list your favorite soaps and/or creams. Personally, I like some of each, not really having a preference. If I am in a hurry, I may reach for a cream because of ease of lather. And while I do have certain ones that I would call favorites, I do like everything in the cupboard at this time. The one I really didn't like, I have already gotten rid of. At this point, I'm still experimenting, but a couple stand out above the rest at this point. My Favorites at that point are: Soaps: MWF, Arko, Mama Bear Grapefruit Ice Creams: Proraso, Razorock Cacao Peace of the Lord be with you.

Wow, thought a few of the wetshavers would respond to this thread.

I prefer soaps- seem to lather better. I do not have a fav at this time, however.

Re: Wetshavers: Soaps -vs- Creams
I like cream better than soap, much easier for me to get a good lather. I'm really liking the AOS Ocean Kelp right now.

Re: Wetshavers: Soaps -vs- Creams
I like creams. It is easier to swicg between them without have various mugs to lather up.

Re: Wetshavers: Soaps -vs- Creams
I think with creams it's generally easier to get good later with most types of water. Soaps are difficult to get a descent lather with hard water.

I do like the creams though. I think tomorrow is a Cella morning. Or maybe Speick.

The Mach3 was a large part of the problem - in fact I believe it was the cause of the ingrowns. I also believe that the Mach3 was also a part of my irritation problem which had nothing to do with the ingrowns. How? As I would press hard to get it to work properly - and I didn't want to trade out the blades when I should because I wanted to get the most possible mileage out of them. I haven't had an ingown hair since I started wetshaving. I had some irritation early on, but that stopped as I learned to keep the proper angle, and not to press down to hard, I cannot suggest enough that you get yourself a beginning kit and head in this direction. Peace of the Lord be with you.
