+1 Obie just about summed it up...TGQ is an Artisan shop. You may like Truefitt and Hill or Castle Forbes, both are excellent choices..
Tobs and Trumper not far behind...

I've been pretty fond of the creams from The Art Of Shaving

All these creams stated above are all great creams. I also might add Kiss my face save cream(available at wholefoods) comes in a pump bottle just one pump and u get rich very moisturized lather.

Oh sweet mercy, so many to choose from...

I too am a big fan of TGQ, soaps though as I'm primarily a soap guy. That said, while there are many amazing creams out there, the one I always keep on hand even though I am a soap guy is Truefitt & Hill Trafalgar - just something about the scent that I really, really like. One whiff and you honestly have a flash back to standing on the deck of the HMS Victory, watching as Adm. Nelson is shouting orders in the mayhem of battle - all while still maintaining the air of a perfect English gentlemen...

My humble opinion aside, it might be worth ordering a half dozen or so samples from someplace like The Shave Den or somewhere to find out which cream scents/lathers strike your fancy most...
