Thread: top 10 list of shaving cream

Thanks so much!

I'm a complete rookie when it comes to this but I'm using the same stuff I used when shaving with a Quatro (probably a swear word on this forum). I used Body Shop Maca Root Shave Cream. It works for me but I'm now inclined to try some of the others mentioned in this thread.

I am new to the forum and 1 month into wet shaving I started with some cheap soap set that came with a brush but I have recently picked up castle Forbes lime essential oil shaving cream and it is truly incredible

I see that almost everyone Castle Forbes has listed in his list, Is this as good as they say or whether the price is acceptable.
I can not make a choice, Also I hear good things about Saint Charles, Al shaving cream, Proraso, ect.
Nobody uses one of these creams?

Oh man I used to love threads like these! I am a bit of a cream whore myself! But alas I have discovered something kind of weird. I love Italian creams in the cold - German in the fall and spring - and North American in the summer lol! Weird eh!

Ok that's a bit open ended and not entirely true but I guess that's to say that depending on my mood and the season, I like some creams more than others!

And for the record, I for one am not that impressed with Castle Forbes lime... yeah I said it lol!!

Best of luck!

I would have to say :
Castle Forbes
Poroso
Wool fat

Whilst not a cream, but a soft soap, the best lather product for me has been Cella Crema da Barba/Cella Crema Sapone Extra Extra Purissima; stunningly good stuff

Hope you find your 'nirvana' cream

Have fun !

The only creams I have reordered..
Cella
Tebac
MWF
Proraso

Has anyone tried Burt's Bees shave cream? I picked up their aftershave lotion and liked it, when I first started lathering with VDH and Williams. I've been enjoying the puck soaps too much to make the leap back to creams...
