I currently own the t&h lime. And love it. Also have AOS unscented. I have sensitive skin so I was scared to try a fragrance at first. I am buying the cf lime to see how they compare. Also planning on picking up cf lavender and t&h almond. Anybody have more suggestions? Or has anyone tried the t&h almond curiosity is getting me on that one
I went to Al's shaving and got a sampler of 8. It's all I have tried but WoW ..lather city. The thing with me and creams is whipping them up in the morning. I bought a puck of Momma Bear's Patchouli and it is fast and stinks good plus it goes with my after shave . For me cream is Sunday and night shaves when I have the time.
I'm into Al's right now also, loving the lather. I really want to try their Kathmandu and Absinthe but I am still working my way through the sample pack. Goodfellas tomorrow, I can't wait!
You can't go wrong with Al's shaving soaps, I have the Boheme and Wild Prairie..great stuff. I have the T&H Rose as well as thier Trafalgar...both smell and perform wonderfully.
With sensative skin two names come to mind
Kiss My Face available at many Organic style markets
and this one

It may seem expensive at first glance, but Acqua di Parma's cream (the one in the tub) is pretty good. Just as good as CF if you ask me. And you have some great choices already!
I checked out that link - choosing a scent would be a daunting task indeed!Quote:

What! All those zillions of choices and no vetiver. Geewiz. :(Quote:

I'll tell you that fell in the love with the shave creams when I started wet shaving. I've been trying as many different ones as I can and I rate them based on the quality of lather and scent. For me, while T&H makes a great lather the scent is way to weak. If I had to choose one I'd go with Traffalgar. AOS makes a great cream. I'm loving the AOS Lavander's lather and scent. I'm a touch disappointed in CF. Don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with it, but there is nothing that stands out either and for the price I'd expect it to. That said, you can't go wrong with CF. Trumper's Sandlewood lather is somewhat worse than the others I mentioned and the scent is way too boring. It's what I imagine my greatgrandfather used. My personal favourite is TOBS Sandlewood. TOBS makes a great leather and strong fun scent. And for the price you can't beat it.
Next ones on my list are Tabac, Crabtree&Evelyn and of course, the granddady of them all - Martin de Candre.
Take the advice of the guys above and get samples. And enjoy!!!
Cheers!!!!
Crabtree and Evelyn Nomad is the one - I am addicted!Quote:
