"Best" performing Cream?
- Thread starter FreeBlues
- Start date
It is pretty clear that there is no best cream singular. Lately, I have been enjoying on AdP, Castle Forbes, LEA, and Truefitt & Hill. Now you guys are causing me to want to try the ABC cream (I have the soap) and retry Palmolive.
Alba Bottanica Very Emolient
Just decided to sing the praises of my favorite cream today so try this. It doesn't lather at all but its slick and gives me great results. Just rub it on and go. Also one application last through multiple passes for me. Cost is around 8 dollars a tube availble on Amazon and last me 6mo to a year. Avalible in several scents including unscented. Give it a try

Agree, the Alba Botanica is a good product. Trader Joe's cream shave works for me also (doesn't lather but provides good "slickness"). When I run out of these I want to also try the Van Der Hagen shave butter.
Castle Forbes lime gets my vote. I happily finished a tub.
I am big fan of the performance of the St. James of London shave creams, but found that even the lavender scent irritated my face. That's a nonstarter as far as I am concerned.
Geo F Trumper for me.
Prorasso is ok, not as slick but great for the price.
I’ve yet to try TOBS creams….

Speick, La Toja Classic, Proraso Blue, probably three of the mightiest Avengers of all
Of the handful of creams I have used I like St. James of London the best. It really feels like a luxury product.
in tube creams I have tried
Nivea
Speick (spelling?)
Cremo
Proraso
for me Proraso or Cremo are tied both are great
the bourbon vanila cremo though is my fav scent by a mile and prefer the scents of the cremo over proraso
the speick is also a wonderful scent but is not working in the hard water I have so well ?
the Nivea was a huge let down for me
TOBS is more a croap I guess ? if you call it a cream it would win over all these
but its in a tub of course

For a soft cream my pick is La Toja Classic (red metal tube). For a hard cream my pick is Cella Extra Extra Bio.
I love Taylor of Old Bond Street creams. Excellent performing, very concentrated, slick, softening properties, post-shave feel, you name it. And those scents…they are mostly super classy and cover a huge range of scent profiles.
Just had a shave with this. I usually use Trumpers… either GFT or Eucris. Also, Prorasso red or green.
This TOBS smells amazing, lathers up brilliantly. BUT…not as nice to use as Trumpers, not as slick. It’s ahead of Prorasso, so middle ground in all areas in comparison.
That smell though…

Agreed. I'm almost done with my tube and won't buy another, but I'm cheap so I want to finish it. I help it out when I use it by adding a dab of Cremo. It seems to help a bit.
You're missing out. They are similar to GFT creams.
Hydroplane or whipped cream?
I haven't tried their standard creams, but Proraso's Single Blade line is phenomenally good: slick, great post shave feel and the scent is terrific.

I am quoting my own post here because I must add Proraso The Ever-Green. I love it entirely...
