The creams are decent, the Sweet Almond is my favourite in terms of shaving properties - smells more floral than almond.
Take a pass on the shaving soaps - mediocre at best.
I agree on the Sweet Almond Oil cream. However, I also like the SAO soap as well. I have stashed several away. I also like the Seinna soap a lot and used it today. I like the scent and don't have problems getting a good lather from either soap. I rate them slightly below the AOS soaps I have in terms of easy to make lather, but for $5 (Almond) or $8 (Seinna, Nomad, Sandlewood) I'll keep using them. And, while I like the AOS soap too, I'm not going to spend $24 + shipping for another AOS cake.
Soaps is another shaving area that is truely YMMV!
