    Default Best Lavender shaving cream?

    I need to start looking for some more creams, and I thought I would go back to a lavender scent, as I find it quite soothing I would appreciate any recommendations, as well as why you think it's the best one out there.

    Thanks!

    Castle Forbes.

    But it is expensive and thick as mud to use so it takes a little getting used to. Most folks agree that it is a great product but not a great value - you can get TOBS or others for $15 vs $38+- for CF that will work as well. You be the judge.

    However, the CF scent is just unbelievable, way better than others that I have smelled.

    The Gentlemans Quarter Provence Lavendar rocks. Not as sweet smelling as some of the ones I have tried.

    Thumbs up

    MJL,

    Dunno if this is the best out there or even in the race, but I am at the bottom corner of my jar of Lavender Classic Shaving Cream from Classic Shaving.com (whooda thunk it?) and I will be ordering more. It's not purple, it's mildly scented, non-irritating, lathers well, it's slippery, and the shaves are close and comfortable. A pretty good combination in my book.

    I think Dr. Harris makes one, and if it's half as good as their soaps it's bound to be good!

    Gotta go with Castle Forbes. Then again, I am a bit of a CF junkie, so take it for what it's worth.

    Yes Castle Forbes is the best. Actually, though the initial cost is high you only use a pea sized amount or product so the stuff lasts forever. In the end its very competitive.
