Thread: My top 3 Creams

so far:

1 - SCS minted chocolate from Sue. simply amazing creme. the properities of this are superb in every single way.... oh and the smell is totally unique among cremes.

2 - Nancy boy.... this is another top of the top top topest creme for its properties. the smell is fine, not anything special or great and it only comes in the 1 smell and i think thats why people don't give it enough attention. however the shaving properties of this creme are fantastic.

3 - well im still waiting on my 3rd fav... i've changed to being a primary soap man so i don't purchase many cremes anymore. i started as a creme user cuz its much easier to make lather from but since that is long perfected soaps just do me better.... proraso is good, AOS lavender would be in the garbage if i wasn't a pack rat, and CE almond oil i didn't like so much that i actually traded it for a col. conk crapola soap.

guess i owe it to myself to try one of those limes listed above.. but with such amazing soaps from all these home vendors (along with tabac) so hard to buy a creme.

Vulfix Old Original Lavendar is definitely one of my favorties as well. I completely agree with the assessment of creating a superior lather with ease. I enjoy the scent of it just as is though.

Runner up would go to either Salter's Almond or Salter's Fresh Mint for me.

The final standing is too difficult to call for me. I have a couple that would rank well if I used them more: Trumper's Coconut -- great scent, Taylor's Avocado (new formula) -- lovely lather. I've got some others in the stash too that I just simply need to try out.

hmm...I only have the cheaper kind of soaps and creams my top ones would be:

1) The mint type of shavecream that I bought in the czech republic.
2) Mammabear's Citrus and Basil soap
3) Palmolive classic (the european kind) or TAGMSC shaving soap.

all of which are $6 or less.

I really like Colleen's lavender. I used Proraso for the first time in several months this morning and it was a pleasure. I'll have to get it back into the rotation.

A hard question because no one's tried em all there are too many. I used alot of them and my three favorites are Trumpers soap, Haslinger soap and Castle forbes Cream. I wasn't too thrilled with the Vulfix cream. I thought the scent was too strong and smelled too chemical or artificial to me. I just got some samples from Matt today of Colleen's cream so I'll try them next.

I know I'd still like to try quite a few more,
but lately I've been enjoying :
Charles Tyrwhitt Lemon&Cedarwood
Penhaligon Endymion
Crabtree&Evelyn sweet almond oil

Not sure I have a favorite cream exactly, the variety of it is what I like.
