I like EJ cream having used the Aloe Vera one before. Advice I've had as a new straight user is that the quality of lather is even more important than for DE razors. I must say that the soap that has never let me down is good old Palmolive. I haven't tried it with the straight yet but it has always given a great lather for me. Also well worth trying are Nanny's and Tabac to name but two.
