Can I use a normal bar of soap instead of shaving cream?
In theory you could also use a normal bar of soap, but the problem is that most of those on the market today are not made up of vegetable or animal fats, but from a series of chemical products. Instead of hydrating, these dry the skin and do not help prevent irritation. Even if packed in a classic soap form and made up of fats, those made specifically for the beard have a better formulation for their purpose and a greater moisturizing power.
