Re: EDF Wet Shaving Thread

From browsing Badger and Blade it would appear that it's possible to get the same kind of lather from soap as you do from cream, but it looks like FAR more time and work. Other than the soap cake lasting forever I don't know why I'd use soap over cream, but maybe that's just me.
I received my Truefitt & Hill after-shave balm and moisturizer yesterday and their quality is what I expected given how awesome the oil and cream are. This will be my brand of choice for the forseeable future.
On Badger and Blade they discuss different blades making a difference, I used Merkur and Feather blades and they seem the same to me FWIW.

IMO, soaps aren't that much more work if you know what you're doing.
I really like T&H's stuff too. One of my favorite product lines.
Blades make a big difference in shave quality. I hate Merkurs & love feathers. IMO, big difference in performance in these two. The Merkurs are too rough & semi dull while feathers are very sharp. Derby's are another good choice. But everybody's face is different & in the long run whatever works for you, go for it.
