Shaving soaps & creams

[Bk124tt]

Since my journey started here on B&B (I assume like most) I jumped into this whole thing head first. I have purchased a considerable collection from straights, de's, a/S's, etc. etc.
Regardings soaps and creams I started off with VanderHagen and a puck of colonel conk lime glycerine. I used them both a couple of times and the they seemed to fall to the back of the cabinet (not even in the rotation)!
soaps and creams lime AOS, MdC, SMN etc,etc took a front row in my rotation. Yesterday though I took out the Conk lime and whipped up a batch and had an UNBELIEVABLE shave with my Merkur Progress. The cream was plentiful, thick and protective!

Note to self.......you don't need to spend alot of money for a superior product!

I always have the feeling that sticking to one soap or creme that you like, is best for your skin. Switching around easily leads to irritation, at least for me.

For some reason my favorite soap so far is VDH Deluxe. I've tried other stuff but I just love VDH!

Don't get me wrong, I still love the $$$ brands but there are EXCELLENT $ brands as well!
