Big C&E fan here with a store nearby. I love both Sienna and Nomad cremes in the tubes. Not sure if they still do the old Almond creme in a tub. That too was an all time favorite.

I tried the Body Shop tubs creme too and while I love the scent, using it a few days in a row leaves my face red and irritated. On an occasional basis though it is fine.

The AOS almond smelled wonderful, felt and shaved nice but I looked like I had diaper rash after my first shave. Thank goodness it was only a small sampler size. The genuine badger brush from the same set is a prickly little thing but may be great as a cheap travel brush.
