Recommend me a top performing cream

[Dools]

Taylor of Old Bond Street by a mile.

+14 on that one! Ridiculous how easy it is to lather Tobs, And, you can make it as-thick and as-cushiony as you like!!

Also, LOVE C O Bigelow.

Castle Forbes is excellent, and I quite like the St. James creams, but my absolute favorite right now is Simpson's.

I've never had a problem with Taylor of Old Bond Street Eton College cream. Fantastic scent as well.

 

[thoosero]

Baume.be is a top shelf cream. I've used the three T's, D.R. Harris, and the new XPEC and Baume.be trumps them all imho.

+1

Castle Forbes is the best cream I've ever used, but it ain't cheap. Otherwise, Proraso, TOBS, and Cella. I'll have to say that Cella smells so good I could eat it...but have restraint.

 

[ChilledAlum]

The new Cade formula is incredible.

Gonna disagree with all the Taylor of Old Bond street recs. Yes, it is easy to lather, but that's about it for me. For OP who has spent the past 2 years using MdC I would recommend Castle Forbes.

 

[musicman1951]

XPEC and Castle Forbes Lime or Lavender. All three are superlative overall creams. Not cheap however.

+1 For me the Castle Forbes costs an extra one half of one cent a day over Proraso. I would add Ultimate Comfort as a fine cream, but not quite the equal of CF.

The new Cade formula is incredible.

Which? The one in the tub or the one in the metallic tube?

 

[ChilledAlum]

Which? The one in the tub or the one in the metallic tube?

The metallic tube.

Santa Marie Novella also Le Pere Lucien,these 2 hold their own with MdC.1 always over looked St.James of London..........

 

[Warlocks]

I'm loving TOBS Jermyn Street. My other creams are collecting dust. I used my KMF Lavender today and was reminded how much better the TOBS protects my face.

And if you like the mdc try wsp rustic shave soap. Just as good for a lot less.

Thanks for the replies gus! In the end i order The body shop Maca root cream and Bio-palmyra. If i don't like them... at least they are not very expensive

IMO, nothing made by Creighton's (TOBS, Trumpers, T&H, Cyril Salters, The Body Shop Maca, and I am sure many others) measures up to Castle Forbes. There are a few performance exceptions (TOBS Avocado) that do separate from their siblings but as a whole, there are better lines.

- Castle Forbes - Lavender (Haven't tried lime...yet)
- Proraso - The whole line-up is great but I especially enjoy the Blue and White offerings
- The Art of Shaving - Immediately draws jeers because of "Business-side" qualities but they make a great cream especially Sandalwood

I have purchased but yet to try: Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet and recently reformulated XPEC.

 

[YourGunshowTix]

Proraso. Seriously. I've tried lots of "high end" creams. Proraso beats the pants off of all of them.

I agree with this statement. I prefer the red cos i like sandalwood and don't like mentholated.

 

[ceferguson]

Cella is a good one
