Top ten shaving creams

Spanish Leather has rose, spice, vanilla, patchouli and sandalwood. Somewhat reminds me of Cussons Imperial Leather (hand/body) soap.

Eucris is dark and complex; includes sandalwood, oakmoss, musk, spice, fruit, flower, green element...

With another 10 years of shaving under my belt, here’s an update:

Musgo Real Classic
Trumper Violet
Penhaligon’s Endymion
Shulton Old Spice
TOBS St. James
Coate’s Tea Tree
Acca Kappa 1869


My Top Ten:

Trumpers Violet
Trumpers Rose
Musgo Real
Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet
Castle Forbes Lavender
Castle Forbes Lime Oil
Penhaligon's Endymion
Cyril Salter Sublime Citrus
Proraso Green
Vintage Blades Lavender
 
1 AOS unscented
2 AOS lemon
3 Baume.Be
4 St. James of London: Sandlewood & Bergamot
5 St. James of London: Black Pepper & Lime
6 St. James of London: Mandarin & Patchouli
7 Acqua Di Parma

The two I couldn't go without are # 6 and 7.
 
No, but I haven't gone looking for them either. The base formula for the creams performs very well. If you like the scents, I expect that a cream based on those scents would be very good indeed.
Those seem to be my favorite of the group that I’ve sampled.
 
I've not tried a ton of creams, but here are my faves:

Coates Lavender (discontinued)
Trumper Limes
Trumper Rose
Trumper or Taylor Almond
Taylor Lemon & Lime
Proraso green
Proraso red (discontinued)
Vulfix Sandalwood
The Body Shop (old formula, discontinued)
Arko Citrus (not the greatest performer, but I love the scent)

Dave

When did proraso red get discontinued?
 
I really like, in no particular order,

- Cyril Salter Almond

- Hemingway Accoutrements

- Castle Forbes Lime

- Baume.be

- Antica Barbieria Colla

- Speick

- Santa Maria Novella

I don’t think I have any other creams...the rest are soaps!
