grafton or trafalgar?

I prefer Trafalgar with 1805 a close 2nd and Grafton a 3rd. They were all decent though, but I liked Trafalgar the best when I went to smell em all 
I really enjoy the scent of Grafton over anything else T&H puts out.
Trafalgar! Followed by 1805. Too bad my fiance hates Trafalgar. I would have ordered a tub already were it otherwise...
My experience as well. I thought the Grafton was the most appealing. It is a great cream! This is very, very subjective stuff. You need to get to a shop and smell 'em all.
I prefer the Trafalger- A more interesting schent to my nose. Grafton is still pretty darn nice.
Trafalgar all the way, Grafton stink's to me.
Working my way through the sampler. Grafton is the second I have used(the other being limes). It is exactly what the description says. Should be used for black tie afffairs. It reminds me of my grandfather for some reason, not that it smells like an old man or anything. It just reminds me another time, you know? Would definitely recommend it, the shave is GREAT!
I have both and love both. If I had to describe the difference, I'd say that Grafton is a slightly older, more mature scent while Trafalgar is the younger scent. Grafton is more refined and subtle and harmonious. Trafalgar is more aggressive, more driven by its base notes.
Honestly, you need to smell and sample each before making a decision.
Or....
....you could just buy both.

I'm now an exclusive T&H user,it's been a fun journey finding that out but they give me the best results,anyway,for me it's Trafalgar 1st,layered with the aftershave balm,1805 2nd again with the balm,then Grafton,i dont have the balm for Grafton yet,i've just used the ultimate comfort cream and was pleasantly suprised.

Trafalgar is not only my favorite T&H line, but possibly my favorite of any thing I have tried(toss up between it and DR Arlington)
Trafalgar is the best scent for me. Grafton smells like I remember my great grandfather smelling or what I'd picture an old barber shop to smell like.
I have the sampler, prefer traflagar slightly more than the grafton with 1805 tied for second place. However, I don't really enjoy the T&H lathers so far which surprised me. I've tried from very dry to very wet, with and without their pre-oil, and no matter what I do, I get much more irritiation and what feels like a lower quality lather than I do with my other favoritate soaps and creams:
Proraso Cream
C&E Sandalwood & Sienna, both Soap and Cream
GFT Violet Cream
Edwin Jagger Sandalwood Cream
SCS Rasberry Soap
Any thoughts?

My vote is for Grafton.
In my opinion the T&H shaving cream that has the best scent is the 1805.
Anyhow, between Trafalgar and Grafton, I prefer Trafalgar's fragrance more.
Scent aside, these two creams perform both equally well.

Grafton.
Not a close call for me.

I'd definitely pick Grafton over Trafalgar.
