Thread: New cream wanted!

It's been a very long time since last time I bought any new software, and I'm getting a bit tired of what I have and feel the hunger for something new.

I have mainly been using hard soaps for the last few years, but somehow I feel for getting a new cream or two, this is where I need your help!


I know, asking for what to get here will probably result in dozens of different answers, so I will try to limit it down a little bit:

I'm not too much of a fan of strong citrus scents, I prefer more earthy and woodsy tones. And of course it needs to have stellar perfomance, I'm past using mediocre stuff

I've been thinkering about some Castle Forbes Sandalwood, but it seems to be hard to get at the moment, out of stock everywhere I have looked.

If you have links to anything worth trying please include it


Thanks in advance.

I seem to be pushing this quite a bit letely, but have you tried TOBS creams? There is an assortment of scents available. My favorite at the moment is the almond, but I'm looking to try the sandlewood next. Nice thing is, it's fairly easy to find some in stock at one of the shaving stores online.

Not much Of a Cream guy but was gifted a tub Of razorock classic.Smell is almond, much like P160.A very nice shaving soap at a very affordable price.

Proraso Blue

I don't use many creams but you can't go wrong with the Castle Forbes
Castle Forbes Cedarwood & Sandalwood Essential Oil Shaving Cream. I also like Truefitt & Hill, another great performer.

Similar to Cella,but no longer made

Read this description! Sounds like you need some Acca Kappa love .

I will not lie - I haven't gotten to it yet, but if the quality and complexity is anything like their 1869 line (which is a nice complex almond goodness), it should be good. Better yet, you can layer up with the soap, shampoo, cologne etc, etc.

I am working my collection down right now. but Acca Kappa's 1869 line made me a believer. And I love the aftershave. Just a work of art. I'll always have an Acca Kappa product in my den.

Note # 1: I find the "cream" to be more of a croap than anything.

Note # 2: know this about me - I don't like Castle Forbes!! Sacrilege I know! But that may play into your trusting my judgement .

Good luck!!

I got DR Harris Arlington cream and love it. A little goes a long way. I also got samples of Castle & Forbes Cedarwood & Sandalwood Shaving Cream, and a few others. Think they were from Royal Shaving. All were good. The samples last about 3 shaves.

Hi there
One of my favourites is Trufit and Hill sandalwood shaving cream. I bought this after having a full trip haircut and straight razor shave at their London shop. A present from my wife a superb couple of hours and in the next chair an ex prime minister surreal!

T&H Trafalgar - now that's a man's scent.
