I agree about CC, I could never get a slick lather even with a good looking lather and I have soft water so that's not the issue. I just don't think CC is a very good soap.
Williams may not be the greatest soap.

I really gave CC the old college try too. I used it daily (tried both the Lime and the Amber) for about three weeks all told and didn't get acceptable results. It was a Williams shave (thin, but really slick, lather) that convinced me to give up on CC.
Well, I think I might have to take this back.
I had great success with another M&P today so I thought I would try CC again with a test lather and I was able to get a really thick and slick lather. I think I'll try shaving again with it tomorrow and see how it goes. I guess it was me and not loading enough soap and not using enough product before.Well, I think I might have to take this back.
I am glad that it is working for you.
I was loading it like I hated it and still not getting the performance that I wanted. For example, when I pulled the Lime puck out of my shave mug after six shaves and compared it to an unused CC puck, I had used around half the puck. When I pulled the Amber after 15 it had only about 1/3 of the puck remaining. Maybe I didn't have enough water, or maybe I am just CC impaired.
I even tried blooming the CC pucks while in the shower and superlathering the Amber with KMF.I think I am still going to take Williams over CC. It is cheaper and so far has given me better shaves.
EDIT:
... Or maybe CC is just wrong for my skin type? It bothers me that I couldn't get it to work like I wanted to. I guess I will just have to stick with Arko and Williams for my bargain soaps.

I always say do what works but you can always try again later as you improve. You might find it works for you later like I have.I am glad that it is working for you.

I have read plenty of posts on B&B of that very nature, so I won't say I will never go back to CC, or that it will never work for me. But, unless I start having horrible results, I will probably always consider Williams to be the superior product of the two.
