Thread: T&H Cream, or TOBS Cream and Soap?

So, here's my recent quandary. I just finished my first puck of soap. A colonel Conk Bay rum... Now, it was a great latherer, but dried too fast.. now that I am thoroughly hooked, I want to get a damn fine cream or soap... Now, I've heard good things about the Taylor of Old Bond Street products, and great things about the Truefitt and Hill stuff...

Here's where my problems start.. I have only ever lathered with Soap... I like the results, but want to give creams a fair try... Now, I have 30 dollars available at the current moment... I can either get a puck of TOBS Sandalwood, and a container of TOBS Cream (Avocado, methinks...) OR I can get a T&H Cream (and only that).

So, my question to ye' Vets: What would serve me better, the Soap and Cream of TOBS, or the one high-luxury T&H Cream... Give me your thoughts

PS. I intend to try out both somewhere in my rotation... which would be a better purchase to start with?

Thank'ee!
Jeremy

Edit: Also, what about Castle Forbes? Anyone had a good run with them? Again, I'm fond of soaps, but also have yet to try Creams, so it's a toss up as of now
