I really like how the Sandalwood smells. Just used the 1805 followed with Green Proraso AS, very nice match and a superb shave.

I really like Trufitt and Hill creams, I was pleasantly surprised by the No.10, enriched with Willow Bark, Borage Oil, Meadowfoam Seed Oil, Sweet Almond Oil and Olive Oil it provides a good amount of skin nourishment and as as a bonus is about half the price of the other Trufitt creams.
OK I really have to stop hanging out with you lot of rapscallions. Every time I think I have what I need and wanted, I find a thread like this one that sends me back to chasing the white rabbit down the rabbit hole of discovery and enlightenment. For a few years I was relatively happy with my Proraso cream until I discovered in this thread that it was not as well designed as I had thought. Color me a NewB. So I opted to try a few off the list. I started with a second tier and I popped for a tub of TOBS sandalwood scented cream. Very nice and it way out preformed my Proraso. Now the story gets murkier because the Hookah-Smoking Caterpillar just wont get off my shoulder. Thinking to myself, after rereading the list, I said, "self, if a second tier was that much better, what do you think a first tier would be like?" I didn't answer back out loud but I did have a huge Cheshire Cat grin that made my Queen of Hearts wonder what on earth I was up to. Then I looked at the list again and opted to buy a tub of Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet Shaving Cream. Now when the Mad Hatters shows up at my door this week with my new cream in hand, I will be back to talk about it. And I pray my Queen of Hearts doesn't scream, "Off with their heads!"
But in the mean time, what do you think I could/should expect from this cream that the others do not have or can't compare to?
Suticat,
Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet has an intoxicating fragrance blending citrus, spice and woods. It's a clean and fresh fragrance. The cream provides a luxurious lather that offers good cushion and glide. Good stuff.
This morning I tried out my second tub of soap from Country Club in Alabama. I previously gave the Grapefruit a 10 out of 10 simply because I couldn't find one thing wrong with it. This morning I shaved with their London Skies. I'm telling you, I shave with Martin de Candre a lot. I love it. But this Country Club stuff is performing for me every bit as good as MdC - and it's 15 bucks.
Country Club is now on my top tier for sure.
Well, the C&S 88 has gone to the "box", so long waxy puke puck!!! Gave it more than enough chances, for me, and in my humble opinion, a lacklustre lather with a waxy texture and an uninspiring, flat scent.
The C&S Oxford and Cambridge get's to stay in Tier 2, much nicer soap, again, in my humble opinion.....:)
I agree C&S soap the Oxford and Cambridge is 2nd tier soap, some of the B & M soaps are top tier in my opinion, some are 2nd tier only of because scent, but performance, and glide, and cushion are great one of my faves, I used klar soap this morning ending up in a great shave, along with the cologne, that soap is top tier.

B&M is top tier for me. Wills Mom came to a meet last year and she is the nicest person you could meet. Scent is a huge factor for me as well. Will and his family put out a top quality product for sure.
I did get a red tin of Cella and it works wonderfully for me and my water and brushes.
I agree I enjoy Cella as well
That's great that you were able to meet his mom, I really like family owned businesses that put hard work into a stellar product
