Recently, there was a post that opined that Soap was the winner. This post was based on an analysis of various posts. I thought we could run a poll and see what the B&B users have to say.
Soap, Cream, Both, Either/Or, Oil, Naked

Soaps are taking the lead in early polling.
If you check my wiki, you'll see I have much more soaps than creams. I'm currently working through my creams just to finish them off. After that, Speick, Proraso green and Rose of Bulgari will be the only creams to come back into my den and will still be outnumbered by soaps.
Shaving soap, which includes some of the soft soaps.

Soaps have the lead in the stand alone contest, but it appears that most of us use both soaps and creams, either together or separately.
Used to be all soaps for years, then discovered creams and went to all creams. Now I'm mostly creams but do have a couple of soaps in the mix. As I use up the creams I may add a few more soaps to move more to 50/50 breakdown.
Undecided over soap or cream.
I put both, but all of my creams are really soft soaps, or "croaps" and I actually have more of these than I do traditional soaps.
Great idea for a poll!
Soap only is my choice - unless I really absolutely have to use cream.

I have only ever used soap in my whole 2 week shaving career so I guess I cant even vote but I am curious to hear the outcome. Would be interested in trying some creams.

I use a shaving balm actually. It doesn't lather or anything. Its fricken amazing, and my blades seem to last forever.
Its called ScruF.

I've tried various options but I ended up using simply a good quality shaving soap (preferably one with clay in.)

whats the difference between soap and cream?
oil
Soaps are harder (think Tabac, MWF, etc) and creams are softer (Truefitt & Hill, TOBS, etc, these makers also do soap but I think they are better known for their creams), then you have "croaps" like the italian soft soaps (Cella, etc), stuff like Mike's & QCS cream, really more of a soft soap.
I selected other, I use either soap or cream depending on how I feel, but I always apply shave oil first as part of my prep
What? No croap?
