Imagining solutions for imaginary problems
Yep, @GAW9576 sent me some to try (wild rose) and IT....IS....AWESOME!!! Seriously, I'm partial to creams, but this really was the best I've used in terms of performance and scent. The wife and I have talked about going to Wimbledon next year, and I was planning on filling a suitcase of full of the stuff before returning home....but that trip is now on hold, so I guess I'll be buying it online. It really is a great cream!

Never tried it but have heard good things about it. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Amazing cream! I have 2 of them. Citrus and Sandalwood and i found them really great!
I really Love creams and these two are my favorites, but i am suprised because wet shavers don't mention them a lot, as they deserve!

Sorry, I haven't tried those creams. It does blow TOBS out of the water both in scent and performance. Performance wise it is comparable in slickness and post shave feel of modern artisan soaps. I find it comparable to Wickhams 1912 though it loads easier as it is a proper British cream. Their scents are also truer to form than TOBS. I have CRS French Vetiver, Fresh Mint, Wild Rose, and Indian Sandalwood. West Coast Shaving has CRS for $15.00 and Connaught is a bit cheaper I think. It also comes in a 165g tub compared to most 150g tubs.

Truefit and hill sandalwood is my favourite scent of all time, but the performance has gone down over the years.
Cyril R Salter is by far a better performer.

I am very recent to wet shaving so I cannot compare Cyril R Salter to the other creams performance wise but when I, first, went shopping I smelled several of T&H and TOBS (shop had almost full arsenal).
I do remember I liked the smell for CRS way better to ''equivalent'' others* and what really took me by surprise (due to CRS was way more affordable) was shop owner response: ''Take CRS, you will enjoy it more''.
I chose French Vetiver (ohhh THE smell) and indeed feels very sleek and protective even compared to Haslinger and MWF soaps. Plus I find it lathers quite easy, at least with a synth brush.
*One exception was Castle Forbes Sandalwood, that thing smelled ..intoxicating and the second thing that left me hanging was Panacrema. Thank god for my wallet, shop was out of stock of Panacrema.

Ahhhh, CRS French Vetiver, it's the nectar of the earth spirits.

Indeed it is..and the worst thing is that I cannot find an aftershave that resembles it. Every vetiver I have smelled lacks that something.
IMHO, my Cyril Salter rose cream is great, it performs well alongside the other major Brit creams, close to Castle Forbes and AOS, which are my benchmarks for shave creams.

I love Salter French Vetiver cream. Great performer.

I really like the Indian Sandalwood. It's a Creighton product, so it's probably not all that different from T&H or Trumper performance-wise. However, the scent is amazing and the price is hard to beat for such a dense cream.

Id definitely a much better performer than T&H and trumpers, by far!
I have all 3 of those creams.
CRS creates a much denser lather and wayyy more protecting.
I love the indian sandalwood. Im a huge sandalwood fan and only have sandalwood products...lol

I hate "me too" posts with no content, but yup, +1.
My daughter is a vetiver connoisseur and aromatherapy junkie, and she says it's the best vetiver scent she's ever smelled.
