    (Domenico Caraceni 1913 R.I.P.)

    Xpec
    Castle Forbes (lime)
    Truefitt and Hill (Especially 1805)
    Taylor of old Bond St.
    Art of Shaving

    Honorable mention. Razorock, GFT, and Spencer and Devon. All are good, could only pick 5 creams. These pics are based on ease of use, latherability, moisturization and glide.

    Domenico Caraceni 1913 is no longer available, but revered by many as the best of the best. Xpec is made by the same company, and is now No.1 imho.
