    For me the best cream in the world hands down is castle forbes. Nothing else comes close. For soap there are many great soaps out there. I like Trumpers and Haslinger.

    Got the Castle Forbes lavender last night. Need to update my list.
    What a shave.

    Favorite Cream: Taylor's Avocado
    Favorite Soap: QED Lime

    Although I'm heavily invested in this hobby (incl. a Maestro and many new power tools)...for some reason, I just can't seem to pull the trigger on the costly Castle Forbes cream. Is it really that awesome?

    Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat, but I haven't yet tried Tabac (which I finally ordered yesterday, thanks to you lot)

    Cream: I like Taylor's St James for its consistency and scent. I like Proraso tubes for its menthol. Now, I realize I have to try Castle Forbes . . .

    I wondered the same thing since I have plenty of soaps and creams. I also really like the Taylor Lavender. It's pricey, but now that I have it, I'm really glad I got it.

    Favorite Soap - TGQ Orange Patchouli. Great scent, great lather
    Favorite cream - C&E Sweet Almond Oil. or Trumper's rose. or Salter's mint.

    I had my first cut-free shave with the C&E, so it holds a special place in my heart. I was going to say I haven't bought any creams or soaps in a while, but that's not really accurate unless you call one week "a while". Until next week...
