    Default Your favorite five?

    I've been reading through the various reviews looking for Christmas list items and thought I'd ask what your favorite 5 (or whatever) cream/soaps, razors, and post-shave treatments were. I always check out the SOTD just to see what people are using, so here are the favorites from my tiny collection:

    Lather:
    · Mitchell's Wool Fat soap
    · The Gentleman's Quarter Savon de Campagne soap
    · Taylor of Old Bond Street Avocado cream
    · C.O. Bigelow cream
    · The Body Shop maca root cream

    Razors:
    · Novelty Cutlery, Co. (heirloom)
    · Joseph Rodgers 5/8" spike point
    · Kinfolk's Wedge
    · W.H. Morley & Sons "Trade Mark"
    · Dubl Duck Dwarf

    Aftershave:
    · Royall Bay Rhum
    · Thayer's Rose Petal Witch Hazel

    I'm finally getting the hang of lathering my soaps and if I had done this list a few months ago, creams would have been all five. Now I use cream for shaving my head and soap for shaving my face. Clearly I'm gonna be asking for some aftershave splashes (for you, fcc!) and balms as I only have the two. I initially thought bay rum wasn't for me, but it quickly grew on me and now I understand Glen's obsession.

    Lather:
    Fitjar Fjellheim. To me, it is the most masculine, pine scent on Earth. Perfect.
    Kell's Arabian Spice. The scent is divine and the half aloe blend is very moisturizing.
    Institute Karite. Nothing special scent wise, but it lathers like a rabid badger.
    TSD Peppercorn. Average lather but the scent blew me away.
    TOBS Eton College Cream. Not crazy about the scent but the lather is incredible.

    Razors:
    5/8 Red Point
    4/8 E.A. Berg Faux Frameback
    4/8 Wostenholm IXL Frameback
