I think you got that backwards. After all, a Ferrari is Italian made. Italy. Home of the makers of FIAT, aka Fix It Again, Tony. Just for the record. And while we're at it, I'd rather be driving an M3 than... well, let's just not go there, shall we?

I ordered some CF, so it won't be long now!

I have CF Limes and have used it only a handful of times. I think it is very nice stuff and smells incredible, but honestly I haven't gotten more out of it on peformance than say from MWF or my other top notch soaps. I may simply not be getting the best out of the CF yet but I will be curious to see if you join the many peopl,e that think CF is the gold standard.

I agree that CF is a great product and can understand that some think it the the "best", but I don't think its redefined shaving cream as we know it. There are still plenty of great soaps and creams out there. Frankly, I still reach for a good quality soap most days.

CF is the best for sure, but you really pay through the nose for it. I know, you have to pay for quality.

I have tried just about every other cream.

They are all pretty good. The better value creams that may surprise you are "Body Shop" and just about anything in a tube. It mostly comes down to which scent you like or dislike.

Nowdays I survive luxuriously with the top end soaps. Better value for money and just the right amount of protection for me at least.

CF hands down best I have used. I think AOS is overpriced for what you get. Just my 2 cents.

I love the T&H oil, can you share the ingredients so i can make it at home?

That would be great.

I have all three. All excellent. But CF edges it for pure class.
