Thread: Recommend a cream for me.

I am new...but I have tried a hand full of soaps and creams and I really like the ease and speed that I can build a nice pillowy lather with a cream. I tried Proraso red on a whim as my first cream and WOW did I really like it. Then someone said (I forget who) wait til you try Tabac. Before my order of Tabac arrived, my wife surprised me with a tube of Bigelow from Bath and Body works (basically a Proraso product re-badged)...it was a nice menthol-ish cream.

Then Tabac arrived and I love it. The glide is fantastic, it is nice and pillowey (I believe they call this "cushion"?). The smell is OK, but I could go for something a little more interesting.

Anyway, I am in need of ordering some more cream in the near future as I am nearly out of 2 of the 3 tubes I mentioned above.

Anyone want to offer a suggestion for something brilliant?

I have a tub of TOBS Jerymn St.
I love it alot..it is meant for sensitive skin but even if you dont have that issue I think it is a great cream..
Great cushion, nice pillow peaks when made.
I also like the scent of it so I have no qualms about recommending it to someone else.
Hope it helps a bit

If you like lavender, try Castle Forbes Lavender. Excellent cream.

Art of Shaving Lavender is great, but expensive.
I like Nomad cream best, but is hard to find.
I have some Maca Root which is nice also.

perhaps I should simply wait a couple weeks after I shave in Pirates of the Caribbean

Yes, the bet is still there.....

Here are some of the soaps I've tried, and I think most if not all are available in a cream, La Toja, Palmolive, Prep, DR Harris Arlington and Lavender, Speick. My favorite is La Toja, all work equally well and smell great....

What do you like scent wise? Ill tell you the best performing!! LOL

Spice?
Floral?
Sweet?
Green?

There are great creams out there I have dozens.

I've been a big fan of Musgo Real. To made, it's got a classic barber shop smell that I remember from many years ago. Another good every day cream is Trumpers almond and Razorock Classic. But while I use the soap version, my favorite is DR Harris Marlborough.
