2017 - Year of the Cream

After one year with one brand of soap (Mystic water with minor exceptions), I thought I'd have a go at exploring creams more than I have in the past.
I've probably got more than enough cream to last the year, but would invite other recommendations.

Top of my list is Castle Forbes Lime - I one this in a Grooming Lounge giveaway and only used once or twice. And those uses, I loved.

Next tier is mostly foreign.
La Toja (bought in Spain). Limited use, not sure I like.
Indian Old Spice - I hated the first tube scent wise. Not sure this will see the light of day.
Godrej - this holds promise
Palmolive - I hate the soap stick, but this seemed better.
Derby Lemon - just picked this up last month, not yet used
Arko Fresh - like the Derby, not yet used.
KMF Cool Mint - big pump bottle, haven't used in years, but recall I liked it.
Kiehl's Brushless - I really do like this stuff, but it's on its last legs.
Clinique bruishless - not as good as Kiehl's in my memory, but it was a long time ago.

I will pick up some TOBS - I loved the lather I got from the Aloe sample earlier this year.

Anything else I should try? Anyone else want to join me?
 
I'll join you, Tony, for as long as my stash holds out, and when it finishes, I'll backfill with soft soaps.

Here is the current list of creams in the closet, though I expect to knock out a few more tubes of Coate's and Old Spice before 2017 hits. The Provence Sante Green Tea cream may actually be brushless, so this could be an interesting experiment.

Old Spice (2)
Coate's Rose (2)
Coate's Tea Tree (2)
Coate's Lavender (1)
Coate's Lime (1)
Nivea Sensitive
St. James of London Lavender Geranium

I'm going to leave the Trumpers Violet alone based on your 3017 notes. :)
Forgot I had a Nivea Sensitive left somewhere.

I might need to do a St James of London vs TOBS showdown.
Or Trufitt. Or Trumpers.
Or dangit, I need to get a DRH cream in there too....
 
Try Speick cream; I'm using it all month and loving every shave. Great performance, and a really nice herbal scent, with speick weed and lavender.
 
Try I colloniali cream!
Supermax is a great one cream.I have the lemon-lime version and i like it a lot.Potent scent great quality.
Last but not least Speick.Propably the best cream around.Awesome scent,ingredients and quality!!!
I'd suggest qcs creams but They are more on the croap(soft soap) side!

The Trumper Violet is a favorite and totally fair game.
