Soap or Cream?

I am a cheap straight user. I use mainly Arko. I also use Proraso Green and red as well as Mitchell's Wool Fat. But mainly the urinal puck for my face.
Soap 99% straight 95% DE when traveling Cream when traveling
I'm a straight razor greenhorn, but I'm just into soaps in general for wet shaving. Soaps are usually slicker, cheaper, easier to manage and store, have better varieties, and I enjoy the effort of loading a brush from a puck and whipping it into a lather.
I started out with soaps but now prefer creams. The rich luxurious lather has spoiled me.
Is it scream, or is it croap? I like and use soaps, creams and croaps. After all, variety IS the spice of life.
Not sure what you call it ....I put soap on the brush from the cup... mix it with a little cream in the bowl...and add a few drops of glycerine. Works well.
Kinda like chemistry class.

I pretty much dropped my soap (good thing I am not in prison), and use nothing but cream these days. So much easier to work with, if you ask me!

I own only soap. Never had a reason to use cream.
Soap. Face lather. Cold water. 2 passes.= DFS
Since my shave bowl broke in an earthquake i've been sticking with soaps.
Unless I feel like spending the extra time rubbing a cream into my brush then face lathering. Which i'll do if I feel like using my Trumper's Viotlet or my Musgo Real.

I tend to use soaps about 80% of the time and creams about 30%. Yes, that is 110%. I always give 110%.
I like both but tend more towards cream.
Soap for me. Preferably tallow based.
I try to balance between the two. Currently stop buying soap/cremes/hybrids all together bc im at 6 and I want to keep it under control if possible. lol
