Re: Cream versus Soap?
It seems you timed it well for quality products. Though not as extensive as your collection, I really liked Valobra shaving soap, so I have a pretty good hoard of their shave sticks, later cakes, and Valobra-made Art of Shaving cakes. I also have a hoard of razor blades that I'll never get through i...

Re: Cream versus Soap?
I haven't heard of J. M. Fraser for awhile. Are most of your creams old classics?

That's a disappointment, Chris.
For the most part, I do all right on eBay. But occasionally, I get burned, too.

Re: Cream versus Soap?
Murray - How do you control slick/cushion? What helps make it more of one or the other? The amount of water in the mix? Hi Gene - Yes, I make a wetter lather. I'm not sure if I work it any longer than others, but I need to work it and keep a certain amount of water in it while I do. - Murray

Re: Cream versus Soap?
I've hardly ever used creams, as I have always simply preferred soaps in concept. I'm mystified, Chris, that you are getting closer shaves with the more cushiony creams.
