Is shaving cream effeminate?

[DoctorShavegood]

I said something similar to my wife while I tried on her stockings. She wasn't of the same opinion

That's not right.

I guess I need a third opinion. Paging Dr Shavebest, paging Dr Shavebest...

This question is effeminate.

A few of the guys in this thread seemed to suggest that only Real Men (capital R, capital M) use shaving soaps.

I was pondering the merits of this concept when @AshleyC noted that HE is exclusively a cream user. Well that certainly threw a spanner in the works because Ashley comes across as one of the manliest men on this very forum, and is a man who is utterly au fait with all of the essential manly arts.

As a result of this confusion, I’ve decided to open this thread to settle this issue once and for all: is shaving cream effeminate? Please post your thoughts.

My God! How could I not comment on this thread when I have been called out as an exemplar of the virtues masculine?

I never framed soap versus cream in the same manner I would as...say...a man's man buying track lighting at Home Depot. Real men don't buy track lighting...unless it is a means to illuminate a display case of recovered battlefield musket balls.

My preference for creams is merely a nod towards their obvious expediency. They are faster, more efficient to deploy. As much as I would like for every shave to be a timeless, Zen-like experience, most times I need them to be quick.

I have often likened soaps versus creams to be like cigars versus pipes. Cigars are efficient and expedient. Pipes are...fussy.

I think the real elephant in the room are those fence post riding croap users. Pick a side already

I like to keep my options open. Wink*

Yes, I use shaving soap to shave my armpits and legs.


JK. No one cares what you shave with it’s all good.

Well unless it rhymes with Arco.

you're okay Dr. Shave, you're okay!

No. Real men use creams too.
No comment on shaving bowls and French sounding products though....
