Why I am veering more towards creams than soaps.

Good evening all.

For some reason when I started to proper DE shave since I got my Sledgehammer razor I've always went for the soaps. Nowadays I find myself getting more creams than soaps. In my subjective opinion I find it easier to lather up creams than soaps and I have been happy with the results. Perhaps my experience of the GFT Coconut shaving soap has tainted my opinions of them? (Though my Amazon soap works well enough).

I don't really want to turn my back on soaps for good. There must be some good soaps that are just as good as creams.

My limited experience has been the same.

I love the ritual of a casual TWS but at the same time I find creams (soft soap in tubs or tubes) much easier and a bit quicker in achieving a good lather, so I'm sticking with success.

Lately, I’ve been playing around with croaps to use up a tub of offensive smelling cream. Mixing soap and cream does make an impressive, rich lather; also tempered the cream’s odor.
