Just curious if you all use a separate brush for soaps and creams. I use my floppy brush w/ medium loft for creams and my short loft dense Rooney brush for soaps.
Do you use a separate brush for soaps and creams?

I'm using my Edwin Jagger Best Badger for both soaps and creams with great results on both, so never felt the need to get a separate brush for each.
A quality brush is just that. One is all you need. No different than people who use straight razors and thing they must match a specific size or grind to a beard type. Just a bunch of old barbers tales.
Nope. I have a few that I rotate for variety, but all of them handle creams and soaps equally well.
No.
There's no real need to use a separate brush for creams and soaps.
I have several brushes under hand every time I shave and I can use whatever brush I want for whatever cream or soap in my rotation.
A good brush, properly used, always does the job.
That's that.

I find some of my brushes work better with soaps or with creams, and I use them accordingly. For example, I rarely use my Rooney 3/1 in super with creams, since it is a superb soap brush. Likewise I rarely use my B&BE with soaps, since I like how it works with creams.
I use different brushes, for creams usually, super badger or silvertip..... for soaps pure badger or boar.
rather than performance. I find that the scent of strongly scented soaps, Penhaligon's EF or Tabac for instance, stays on the brush. If I then use the same brush with a cream, it smells, to me at least, like the cream I'm using plus residual Tabac or EF, or whatever.
I find that, for whatever reason, strongly scented creams don't have this effect.
I'm weirdly sensitive to scents due to migraines, so it might be that I'm just unusual

I use all my brushes for creams, but have a few that cannot be used with soap.
Nope. Both brushes I have get used with both soaps and creams.
Nope, I use my any of my brushes for cream or soap.

B&B membership has its percs
I will add to the group that says a good brush will produce with either soaps or creams, though there are differences ..
I believe that as we gain experience we can usually make a good lather with most any brush. I do fine that I have brushes I use only for soaps and brushes I tend to use only for creams. My soap brushes are a bit more scrubby and my cream brushes a little more floppier.
No - I use just one brush for all my lathering.
