Usually men who are used to shaving soaps often find the creams too easy to form lather. You have to know and understand the techniques of forming lather with the soaps or you might find it extremely difficult to use. Unlike shaving creams, shaving soaps usually don't come scented. Although recent soaps are being scented, they usually don't have a variety of scents to choose from.
