Love CF lime and musgo real and TOBS almond. The entire TOBS line is the best bang for the buck

I am partial to GFT Coconut. The scent isn't overbearing and it outperforms all of my other soaps and creams time and time again.
I'm still a newb
but I vote Proraso!

GFT Coconut.
I have acquired about 20-23 over the years, Many of them I have used once and never replaced as there is so much stuff out there to enjoy and to try. I am a great fan of Trumpers and in particular T&H 1805. However the only tub I have ever replaced was the Crabtree and Evelyn sandalwood, I simply adore this cream. It probably doesnt appear in anyone's repeat order list as the more established manufacturers have their share of the market, but for me it's the best one out there.
As I stated in another thread here:
My best bang-for-the-buck cream is Palmolive for men Classic with palm extract.

This. I may just buy all three and call it a day.
Musgo Real is tops for me, and delivers the kind of slick lather that I usually get from soaps. Castle Forbes is also quite good, but is a shadow of Musgo.
My go-to cream is Castle Forbes - either the lavender or lime. Great protective and moisturizing qualities and great scents too. It's the only cream I use with my most aggressive razors. Yes, it's expensive, but a little goes a long way (it's a cross between a croap and a cream). Runner-ups are Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet and Endymion. Honorable Mention to QCS's Lavender cream (croap).

I have probably forgot some, but these are my current favorite creams of the ones I own - but as said I only own 3-5 sub par creams, all are of very high quality, but these 30 are my top picks
Next on my list is to purchase some eShave creams - they supposedly should be very good creams.......
Geo F. Trumpers - pick your favorite scent... mine is Lime. It isn't like a Castle Forbes 100% lime EO that smells like you're squeezing a lime on your face, but a nice clean fresh lime scent that smells like shave cream should...
GFT Coconut Cream is probably one of my absolute favorites. Very slick and cushion-ey. I highly recommend it if you like coconut.
Ok, this is going to get expensive!
Out of the ones I have tried, ToOBS Eton College or Lemon & Lime.
Castle Forbes Lavender by miles and miles, followed then by Nancy Boy (any scent at all).
Whatever comes in third place is too far behind NB to be recognizable as a thing.
