Best Barbasol Cream?

They all shave the same IMO but original smells the best to me.
The 10 oz. can with Soothing Aloe is my favorite. (Green and white striped can with the blue logo)
I use the original. Got a can of Nivea today to compare.
I dont use Barbsol anymore but when I did, it was Pacific Rush for me. If I couldnt find PR; I would use the purple (extra moisturizing) or green (aloe).
When I am not feeling like lathering up a cream or soap I enjoy the original but with some Cremo blue as a pre shave.
Original and Aloe are the ones I gravitate towards.
Nivea wasn’t any better than Barbasol in my opinion and I prefer the Barbasol scent.
Original !!!
I actually need to buy a can of one of these, having succumbed to the listing of a new in box, but extremely cheap hot lather machine. I'd just left the barbershop on Weds, having had that glorious hot lather spread on the back of my neck at the end of the shave, and spotted a new unit for under $10 shipped...couldn't resist. 
Not sure whether to go original Barber Shop, Aloe, or Extra-Moisturizing.

I think I like the Sensitive the best followed by the Pacific Rush. Both are great. I could use just Barbasol as my only cream and be perfectly happy with it.
If you have a tough beard, the Extra Moisturizing is good.
The brushless cream in the tube is also good stuff.

So what does Pacific Rush smell like? - Haven't seen that one in the local store, might have to look around, if it has a nice scent.
anniversary original was great!
I like the Original best, and the extra moisturizing purple can is the last one that has lanolin I believe. 
Wasn't the anniversary edition the same stuff as the original, just with a different labeling or print on the container? The local Family Dollar has them for a while, and now only has the 'Original' can again. Surprisingly, it isn't bad to shave with, particularly warmed in the hot lather machine. (I set it for Gel, turned up all the way, so it comes out slower, allowing it to heat up a bit more - probably the Conair lawyer's worse nightmare buyer, someone willing to not obey the directions).
What does their lawyer care? Between their printed instructions and your post, the ambulance chasers won't even take your case anyway if you get scalded by the lather coming out too hot.
Yes I believe so. It was all about the cool can. I sometimes use the Barbasol with a shaving brush, I just put some in my lather bowl and add a few drops of glycerin and also water to whip up a pretty nice lather. I still don't find it as good as most of the other creams and soaps I use, but definitely serviceable, and does have a nice post shave feel on my face.
