The properties of soaps and creams (e.g. glide, cushion, moisturizung, scent) as we here have come to understand and discuss them sometimes are confounding to me (especially cushion, but that's for another post). Glide, or slip, however, is one that I can easily discern when shaving. Thing is, I'm having trouble getting a good glide from the soaps and creams I've tried. Since all of them are considered very good or even great products, I think there might be a problem with my lathering technique. Possibly I'm over-working the lather past the point of it being slippery, but it doesn't seem dry to me. Or maybe the lather is too wet, and I've been watering down the slipperiness of the product... but it doesn't seem too wet.
My lathering technique aside, can you guys recommend some soaps and creams that are widely regarded as glide/slip champs?
For reference, here is a list of the soaps and creams I have:
-- P.160 (morbido)
-- Cella
-- Vitos Red and Coco
-- RazoRock Original
-- Castle Forbes Lime
-- Tabac soap
-- QCS creams
-- Malaspina Triple Delight cream and soap
-- J.M. Fraser's Original
-- Speick cream
-- TOBS Sandalwood cream
-- GFT Rose cream
-- Palmolive Original cream (Euro)
-- T&H Almond cream
-- The Real Shaving Co. cream
-- van der Hagen Deluxe
-- Williams (new formula)
