I have found that pretty much all creams irritate me in some way. I can use whatever soap i like and my face is calm and peaceful, but get a cream and i can feel a mild burn. Following on the logic that creams are just hydrated soaps, it must be something extra that creates the mild burn.
So far, only Cyril Salter creams pass the test.
Another odd thing. If i use my razors, you can see soap scum on the razor afterward, and even then i have to rub slightly to get it off. I accidentaly dropped my razor in my shaving bowl (full of hot water and washed off cream lather) and the razor came out gleaming! No scrubbing required. So it seems creams clean and soaps scum.
I thought it was interesting anyway!
