AFAIK those are the big 3 as far as their shaving creams go. They have a wider selection of aftershaves and colognes, which are also top notch.

You have likely stumbled across the vendors that carry CF already; most are advertised here, such as SRD, Classic Shaving, etc..

I like Castle Forbes Lime Essential Oil shaving cream a lot. It was my first shaving product outside of the canned shaving cream one can buy from any supermarket or grocery store in the States. A little bit goes a long way as has been mentioned. Personally, it provides MUCH better value for money when compared to Truefitt and Hill, in my opinion. If you cannot fathom the initial high cost, I would just go with Taylor of Old Bond street, which provides a very good value for money in a high-end shaving product.

A bit off topic, but I wish that vendors could find someway to lower shipping costs on the shaving consumables. That extra $5 to $7 dollars really makes buying these products a bit of a pain in my opinion. Since we are dealing with sturdy plastic tubs, just put them in a padded envelope and send them using a slower service; I can be patient. Just my two-cents.
