- I use soaps, exclusively
- I prefer soaps because they come in simple and biodegradable containers. Well, most of them, or at least the ones I have.
- In my opinion it is not worth the extra time & effort of loading soap. Creams are much easier to work with and give more consistent results.
Depends on how you read it.Uh, your post is chock full of contradictions.
People who praise hard soaps have to soak or bloom them to get the best of them, that is to turn them into softer soaps.
I have never, ever, soaked a soap prior to use. Not even DRH which is like a rock nor MWF which some people insist demands all sorts of rituals.
Good on you. That's probably due to good technique and persistence in learning it. Still doesn't change the basic facts of how fast you load a cream vs a triple milled puck.
I ordered two separate soaps from two different sellers, with different soap factory wrappers. Two arrived together, then two months later an individual one turned up. I am not sure what happened. I haven't used them yet as I have been experimenting with another type of soap. I have ordered a Kesa, so will try them with that .

I received two of the Cross Keys soaps and one Camel soap...
Creams are definitely faster, but not by much. This reminds me of the "bowl or face lather debate", haha.
I think what Chris is trying to point out is that its not like soaps need half an hours bloom etc before use. I own two D R Harris soaps and they are as Chris described, but I don't bloom them either.
NO?!?! Has the world gone madBare in mind there are people who struggle to get good lather even from soft italian soaps. I sometimes see on YT SOTD videos croaps being bloomed.
