The soap/blade combo

[unmodern]

The layout of the fora is not particularly conducive to this kind of point, so maybe that's why I haven't read a post about it. Anyway. I have found that just as certain razors prefer certain blades, so too certain blades prefer certain lathering agents. In the short while I've been experimenting I have found:

Derby + MWF = good couple of passes, one really jumpy pass
Derby + Musgo =
7'O Clock Yellow + Proraso =
Iridium + MWF =

Any other sage wisdom you gents have gathered on the subject?

I have never thought of a particular soap being optimized with a particular blade.

I guess my choice would be Musgo Real and a Feather (a very sharp blade with a lanolin-based soap).
