I have experienced that some creams/soaps just don't give me as close of a shave as others. The strange thing is that it is not correlated with a properties like cushion and slickness. For instance, despite that Palmolive Classic cream is not as slick as say, The Body Shop Maca Root or Kent/MWF soap, I could never get this very last bit of closeness shaving with the Palmolive as with the two others. Not bashing the Palmolive (great cream), just giving an example. I've seen this with other creams or soaps too, regardless of the price and lather quality.
Have you noticed this? If yes, what is the cream/soap that gives you the closest shave and why do you think it is so?
