AoS is excellent, but I'm enjoying a lavender cream from Vulfix that I got in a trade with Wingnut. Produces a nice lather and smells great.

Glad you like it, Nid Hog! If you'd like some more, I'll keep my eyes open for it. Just let me know... I haven't tried your Kent soap yet, but I LOVE the Bowling Green freebie that you included. Thanks again.
+1 for the TOBS Lavender. It's the only lavender scented cream I own but I love the way it performs. It seems pretty mild too so I think it would work well for sensitive skin.
I thought I liked Lavender until I tried GFT Violets (select range in the drop down window)!
I thought it smelled great, but the wife didn't seem to care for it. Gotta share a bathroom, so some compromise is necessary I guess.
I love the AoS lavender. A little goes a long way, so the $22 isn't as out of line as it seems. And the scent is fabulous; pure, concentrated lavender, the best I've smelled anywhere.
I didn't think I'd like it. However, I was pleasantly surprised. I knew simply by being GFT that is would shave nice, but the scent was a pleasant surprise. My wife was the opposite of yours she really liked it. In fact she confiscated what was left of it for her legs!
I seem to have really sensitive skin too and I use The Gentlemens Refinery Cream - The Standard. It isn't a pure lavender cream, but has french lavender, sandalwood and ylang ylang oils in it. It is a very light, clean scent and works really good for me.
Art of Shaving's Lavender AND Sandalwood were very dry creams for me. I couldn't get the same lather with AOS as I do with TOBS. And TOBS lavender is just really nice smelling and does literally explode into mounds of lather. No really...literally. Besides, TOBS is tons cheaper.
Apparently I'm the only one that thinks so but for scent/performance combination I'll give the nod to eShave lavender.
I really like Truefitt & Hill Ultimate Comfort Shaving Cream. A very light lavender scent.
No, I agree. I was very impressed with the lavender shaving cream in the eShave samples I received awhile back. Great lavender scent and it performs very well.
I like the TGQ lavender.It has a good lavender scent.
I suggest trying Castle Forbes Lavender Essential Oil Shave Cream. It's a little pricey but well worth it IMHO. It works and smells great. Very good cushion and pretty slick for a cream. It actually says on the tub that it's intended for sensitive skin. Classic Shaving sells a travel sized tub for under $20 (good amount of creme). The Castle Forbes Cream is more like a soft soap which I believe will make it last longer.
CF Lavender for excellent shaves and that "pure" Lavender EO scent.
CF costs ~$13 more to buy but you do get more cream and it is almost as dense as a soap. I think there are probably at least as many shaves per $ from CF as from AOS. As far as performance and scent go, they are a very close match. I am currently using CF but might replace it with AOS or CF- depends how I feel when the time comes.
Really? I use Sandalwood a lot and it lathers like crazy, very similar to the TOBS I've tried.
