Obviously they're both used to make a lather. In a generic sense when I think of soap I think of cleaning, and when I think of cream I think of moisturizing. Is that true when it comes to shaving soaps/creams? What are the differences between the two?
And what's the bottom line? Does it come down to YMMV, personal preference, etc., or is one better than the other depending on your skin type, beard, prep routine, etc.?
