Name your favorite shaving soap / cream?
As most of us out there not only hoard razors, but constantly experiment with the endless array of soaps and creams both commercially and privately produced. I wanted to get everyone's input so members could have a place to go for new suggestions.
I'll kick it off.
Cream - For me nothing beats Taylor's Avacado, the scent and the lather are truely amazing. Add it to the recipe for those superior weekend shaves.
Soap - While I'm new to Mama Bear's products, once I tried the Rosemary Mint soap I was hooked. It leaves your face feeling cool and tingly (similar to porasso, but with a much better scent).

Soap - The Gentleman's Quarter Leatherneck (super lather, great glide and an incredible scent)
Tryphon Enterprise's Rosa (a great soap with abundant lather and a very attractive light rose scent)
Creams - N/A

Soap-Tabac
Creams- it's a tossup between Taylor of Old Bond Street's St. James and Tom's of Maine's Mint Shaving cream.

I really can't!
Love Tabac soap, of course, and Trumper's Rose cream.
But there are also many other nice products, too many, actually. Now, if most of them didn't irritate my skin even before starting the shave it would be even better
Cheers

Cream - I don't use it so I have no opinion there.
Soap - TGQ (Colleen's) Desert Ironwood is still my favorite. The smell and lather get me every time.
