Shaving creams that a like soaps

[O.G.]

Hi everyone:
Quick question on my quest to that quentissentail best shave. I'm currently loving Truefitt & Hill Rose shaving cream and I use a straight. I like this cream because its harder than normal creams but it borders on the soap hardness but still easy to scoop if I did. So my question is are there other creams like this that kinda ride the line for creams that are almost soaps. The cream is a joy to use.

Best Regards:
HSJ also O.G.

Queen Charlotte soap/cream

Castle Forbes creams

Cella

Santa Maria Novella

There are probably others.....

From what I have tried: Queen Charlotte and Cella. Queen Charlotte's consistency is closer to a cream while Cella is closer to a soap.

I orderd Cella from WCS so that will be one I can try. I looked up Queen Charlotte's and it looks interesting after I try Cella I might make that move. In addition I really want to try Santa Maria Novella's line up. Thanks all, if there are anymore suggestions please let me know.

Cella is absolutely brilliant. P160 is another, but has been discontinued, and is getting increasingly more difficult to find.

I don't know if Valobra almond is a soap that looks like a cream or a cream that looks like a soap. All that I can tell is that it is FANTASTIC!

I class it as a soap, but whatever it is, I absolutely LOVE it!

Cella might be a little too hard/dense for what you are looking for. It's a great product, but more of a soap than cream and is best used as such. Castle Forbes is incredibly dense, but definitely a cream.

I tried cella it was GREAT. Now I will try Valobra and Castle Forbes. Drumana the Cella wasnt to dense. I was looking for something along the lines of T&H Rose which is very hard but still scoopable like a cream. These creams that are hard/soft seem to do better for me with my silvertips. Im still lost as to if Silvertips should only be used on creams?

Thanks all for your help again.

The vast majority of the Italian shaving soaps and creams belong to this "in between" category. The best to take in consideration are:

Cella, Crema Sapone Extra Extra Purissima
Cella, Crema da barba all'olio di mandorla
P.160 (Tipo Duro/Tipo Morbido)
Valobra, Crema di Sapone Purissima (Almond/Menthol)
Crema da barba Santa Maria Novella
Acca Kappa 1869
