After finding my CF Cream drying out quite a bit during str8-shaving (cos I take so long!) I went back to GFT S/wood for one shave and bought it back in the cabinet. I really like the idea of using soaps instead of cream so I used the L'Occ' soap to shave with "just in case". In my opinion this is...
