As the title says, I'm a soap stick junkie but I have to have at leat one cream. I'd pif'd a tube of original Erasmic cream a week ago thinking "HA! no more cream for me!" yesterday a text to the wife was to pick up a tube of Ingrams from Super drug for me. Used this morning and a super lather and Uber shave resulted, very cool an IMHO better than the Proraso cream.
