Thread: Must try creams?

For creams, I'll go with Taylor's Shaving Shop first, maybe Arko second. All this may change if Colleen perfects a Cavendish Black cream, however. The best cheap shaving soap I've tried is Arko. It just has a clean soapy scent and lathers like nobody's business (and all for $1.50 a stick). I have too many creams and soaps to mention, but these are the best bang for the buck, IMNSHO.

I bet you are right but for my buck I really love the Taylors of OBS St. James shaving cream.. It smells great and lathers up a storm. I just bought the matching after shave.

Gfoster,

You say you've got a sample package on the way from Trumper's, eh? How much do they charge for it? Or was it free?

Trumper's samples are free.

Rich, tell me about the scent of the St. James, I haven't tried it yet.

My favorite scent yet is Taylor's Eton College, also performs well. I can't believe that nobody has mentioned Cremo. Cremo has a coconut scent, foams like Cujo, and is slick as, well... whale sh_t. I bought a tube of that stuff and I'll bet that it lasts me two years. 16 bucks, great value. Awesome product.

And what is this crap about not wanting to have 50 creams and soaps in your shaving drawer? C'mon! That's the whole fun of it.

Also Crabtree and Evelyn Nomad...momma, a scent straight from heaven.

Dr. Phong,

This is how www.qedusa describes the scent:

A very complex fresh herbaceous accord with crisp citrus top notes; it starts with bergamot and lavender on a layer of rosemary and coriander; it continues with juniper and clary sage on a heart of warm clove and thyme; then it finishes with base notes of patchouli and olibanum with a touch of amber.

It's good stuff!

Yes, I must have some...It sounds like it has a good earthy scent like a sandalwood. I bought some Dr. Harris shampoo once and it had a very strong rosemary scent. Very nice. Thanks for the info.

Well it's hardly a scientific survey but I picked up some C&E Sienna and my fiancee really liked it. She walked in to the bathroom as I was finishing up my ablutions, started nuzzling up against my neck and sniffling and well, let's just leave the story right there and say that I give the C&E sienna "two thumbs up"



She still won't watch me shave with the feather though.
