Almond shaving cream (TOBS vs GFT)

I have not tried the TOBS, but the Trumpers is an awesome soap.
Definitely TOBS (cream in their tub)... it has a very strong almond scent.
If you like Almond scent, have you tried Cella?
The only 2 almonds I have tried are Stirling (nice almond scent) and Cella (more of a marzipan/almond-with-more-stuff-to-make-it-complex). Sadly, Cella may irritate my face. This saddens me because I love the scent, performance, and Italian origin of Cella.
Now that I think about it, Cella can't irritate my skin if I'm Italian, right?
I can't comment on TOBS vs GFT, except to say that TOBS makes a very nice cream. GFT is probably excellent as well.
Of course, the real answer is "buy both."

I slightly prefer the TOBS iteration more so than GFT. However, if you are open to other almond/almond-like products then look for RazoRock P160, RazoRock Classic, and/or Cella. In my opinion, they are noticeably better performing than the almond TOBS/GFT creams.
This kind of scent seems like it might be something right up my alley. I've had sandlewood, bay rum, Williams and C.O. Bigellow and I don't really care for the first two. I like the COB, and Williams but it's not really a very pleasant smell. I just don't mind them at all.
+1 on the Cella. Great stuff.
I like the GFT a lot but havent tried the TOBS version yet
The two creams' scents are nearly identical, with the GFT being sweeter and quite a bit stronger and the TOBS being more subdued and very slightly nuttier.
