I like the shaving soaps from Trumper in terms of fragrance, but I don't want to achieve optimal lather. I don't know the shaving creams from Trumper yet. According to your description, they foam well!?

Yeah, I've heard that the GFT soaps don't perform all that well, but I haven't tried them myself.

I really can't complain about the crab, though. It lathers super easily and you can add a lot of water without breaking the lather.

Maybe I get a little slicker lather with soap bases I have more experience with, but it was plenty good enough for an enjoyable, smooth shave.
