Favorite citrus creams?

[Doc Dan]

What is y'alls favorite citrus scented shaving creams? I really didn't know whether to put this is soaps or creams, but my favorite, as far as smell, is Geo F Trumper GFT. Man, I love that stuff. It has more sophistication than most and some depth to it. I really like it.

That got me to wondering what you all like.

Sounds like I need to try it. I love Trumper creams and citrus soaps, but never tried citrus creams. The description is very appealing.

Great stuff. I also like Captain's Choice Lime, TOBS Grapefruit, and AOS Lemon (which is apparently discontinued).

This is a good thread, thanks! I love citrus and wonder if y’all can talk about cushion? Do these creams produce a great slickness as well?

 

[Doc Dan]

Well, I usually use a straight razor of some kind and I like the GFT quite a lot.

Taylor of Old Bond St. Grapefruit enjoy that scent and it’s not overwhelming either.

Everybody's sense of smell is different, so take it for what it's worth.

I don't like most "lime" creams because the scents tend to be harsh and acidic. The one cream I really like and I sense it as citrussy is TOBS Royal Forest. It seems very grapefruit-like to me. Again, YMMV.

Mastro Miche Shaving Soap - Zihuatanejo

A kind of mish mash of different citruses, caressed by some subtle herbal notes.
Really potent smell.

I really enjoy Musgo Real Orange Amber.

Right on, Eric.

Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet is a favourite of mine.

I quite like Pacific Natural Shave Cream. Light citrus scent and excellent performance, with or without a brush.

 

[Ravenonrock]

One of my first creams was Col. Conk Southwestern Sun, which had a pleasant citrus forward fragrance.

Does anyone know of a Lemon scent cream?

Pacific shaving cream (the green one) have a great smell of fresh and natural mandarine. Also it have great performance and low price
I have used many shaving creams of different brands: TOBS, truefitt & hill, Muhle, Apothecary 87, Edwin Jagger, Dr. Selby and I can say for sure that this cream is on the same level with them.
