Thread: What is your favorite cream?

I normally use soaps for shaving, but I recently tried Proraso. I am now thinking of using more creams. I seem to be able to make better lather in a lot less time. Also, the Proraso works great. Without much knowledge of creams, I want to know what you use and why.

Thannk you,

I quite like the C&E range - Nomad and Sienna in particular. They have a pleasant fragrance and make a very good lather. But they are on the expensive side, at least here in Australia. The glass containers they come in also come in useful for storage containers after you've used up the cream.

The Body Shop's shaving cream is good value for money, and you need very little of it to make a nice thick cream. Fragrance is not to everyone's taste though, I'd imagine (bit sandalwoody).

I've also used a few others from here and there, but those above are my favourites.

normally i use soaps as well but for a change of pace i use the 3 T's(truefitt and Hill, Trumper's and Taylors) i find them a little more moisturizing than the soaps and i the scents availble are great... it is very hard to find T&h soaps in any of their good scents... at least here in the US

i just like the english products and if i had not stumbeld into this sit last year those is what i would be using ... not the soap from colleen which i love.

so far - the body shop shave cream, almost without scent.

+1 on the C&E line!
I love all of them with Nomad and Sandalwood being my favorites. Readily available too.

But....

My absolute favorite would have to go to Floris JF!!
Scent - Awesome
Performance - Awesome

My best cream at the moment is St James of London! I also couldn't go without the Truefitt & Hill collection! Pair a quality english cream with a scuttle and the lather just explodes! At least we can get that right... Who'd have thought our national rugby team could lose to the Welsh after reaching the final of the World Cup last year??!

OK, I know it's been covered to death, but I've got to mention Castle Forbes Lavendar. It is without doubt the easiest lather to whip up, great cushion, nice and thick, retains the moisture well, lasts for a good few months and smells like a walk through a field in Provence on a sunny day.

I've ried T&H, Trumpers, L'Occitane, DR Harris, Floris, and Proraso, and though they're all pretty good to excellent, I fnd the CF unsurpassed in every category.

Except price.

Proraso green.

I usually use soaps also, but for creams - T&H and C&E are probably my favorite English creams. Colleen at TGQ makes a cream that's as good as anything I've tried. Speick and Musgo Real are both excellent and affordable.
