Since transitioning primarily to soaps for my daily shave, I have found that the thing about them that makes it work for me is how slick they are. The blade just glides across, and for me, that is better than the cushioning that creams provide. I have found that the Trumpers creams, Castle Forbes creams and Musgo Real perform more like soaps in my hands, and am wondering what others fit the bill.
What Creams are the most Soap-like?

Santa Maria Novella?
Cella & Valobra are almost soap-like in consistency, if that helps. (think a very firm soft soap, almost like putty). Same thing for Tom's of Maine, tho it's no longer being made.
JM Fraser's = Slickness

That's how Castle Forbes strikes me as well (and Neil/strat1117 pointed out first, I believe).
Palmolive Classic, J.M. Fraser's (great at softening the beard and plenty of cushion), Speick, Kiss My Face and Proraso.
I have become a soap guy however I do use creams because I can.
+1 for castle forbes, slickest cream I have used.
