I'd recommend samples from Maggard's...
St James and Cedarwood for me.
The only reason I tolerate Sandalwood's aroma is because it comes as a stick
I may have to pick up some Tobacco Leaf next month.

Nice set up
Sandalwood: Cinnamon, rose, musk, and patchouli bomb!
Mr. Taylor’s: Once described as chocolate powder, delightful scent.

personally, while there are some creams that are better performing they are all pretty good. I liked cedarwood, rose, aloe vera and grapefruit from memory. I wrote a thread detailing my reviews and experiences if you are curious. I tend to care more about scent so I really just talk about what it smells like to me.

My complete review of the TOBS lineup
I bought a TOBS sampler back that has 16 of their highest selling scents. Each mini tub had 4-7 shaves worth in it, and I always do a three-pass shave. I’m going to place each product that I tried into 1 of 4 categories. Excellent, Good, Bad and Yuck. Along the way additional categories of ‘meh’...

In the true B&B family spirit I suggest that you just buy all of them and the matching aftershaves. You know you want to. And don't forget the EDT's.

Good idea, my wallet will hate me
I really like TOBS Almond.
Tried their Sandalwood and hated it. Smells more like a chemical factory. Nothing like the old sandalwood scents I remember.

The comments you’re getting about TOBS Sandalwood are, in my opinion, pretty spot on. It’s not a “true” Sandalwood scent, more like a Sandalwood inspired cologne. I personally really like it.
Exactly. I wish they didn't call it "Sandalwood" as it smells nothing like traditional Sandalwood but it is my all time favorite shaving cream and I LOVE shaving with it. I have to laugh at the occasional "smells like a chemical factory" comment. I assume those folks have never actually been in one.
When I smell TOBS Sandalwood I'm transported back to Buffums or Bullock's wearing a Members Only jacket...
I remember both those places from back when and, sadly, wore a Members Only jacket during those years.
So you still live in SoCal? I spent most of my growing years in WLA but left a very long time ago.
Cedarwood!
Best smell ever (for me). And it performs great!
It's the shaving cream that I use about 95% of the time. I never get tired of the scent. Matter of fact, even when I don't have to shave, I'll open the tub to take a whiff.

Plenty of family in LA; Sherman Oaks and Woodland Hills mostly.
If anyone wants to pay for shipping I ordered a TOBS sandalwood 2oz from Amazon. Tried it once this week. I’m near 19341 area code so if I put it in a bubble mailer I bet you can get almost 2oz for 5 dollars. Just PM me if anyone wants it.
