I'm relatively new to DE shaving - it's only been a couple of months since I converted from cartridges. I do have to say that I'm loving DE shaving though.
I've mostly been using creams - TOBS Avocado and Jermyn St, Omega/Proraso and some Indian Dettol cream. I've also recently started a tub of Omega soap and have to say that it's a very satisfying process to generate lather from a soap (albeit Omega is a soft soap and relatively easy to get a good lather if you follow the Wiki advice). After reading a lot about it, I'm now considering getting myself some MWF to try ...
So, I was wondering, for all you soap users out there, is a large part of the appeal of using a hard soap like MWF, Tabac, etc the fact that you enjoy the daily challenge of getting a great lather from a soap? Or is it something else?
Happy shaving ...
