Following the advice I recieved here I sent off emails to ToOBS, Trumpers, Truefit and Hill, Dr. Harris, and Castle Forbes. So far only the ToOBS has arrived, but I requested a sample from them about a week before the others. I recieved the samples for Shave Shop, Sandal wood, and lemon lime (which I am not particularly enthused about, though I have heard great things about the lime scented creams here). The first one I tried was the Shave Shop which didn't work too well for me. I assume it is because it was my first time using a cream, but it also seemed a bit on the dry side (I might have accidentally left it open, not too sure about that). But the sandal wood was a dream. Does anyone have suggestiong on how to best use the creams? I still have some of the shave shop left as well as the sandal wood and the lemon lime and would like to get a better idea of how well they will work for me before I pass on creams.
