Sandalwood shave soap recommendations

I do not like Sandalwood scents. That being said, I finished AND would reorder TOBS Sandalwood cream and CRSW Sandalwood soap.
 
If you can get your hands on it Crabtree and Evelyn vintage Sandalwood shaving soap is excellent. It smells very similar to Trumper's Sandalwood shaving cream. To boot I believe it was made with genuine sandalwood.

I can't remember where I saw the review/description and or from what brand of sandalwood it was, but it said "it's like getting hit in the face with a freshly cut 2x4" that's what I'm looking for......I mean I don't want to get hit in the face with a piece of lumber, but you guys get the drift.
 
bingo! you nailed it, my next sandalwood purchase will be Stirling, I really did like the Proraso tub I burned through.
 
everyone raves about the AOS Sandalwood but after I took a whiff at my local AOS store, I quickly capped it and put it right back on the shelf, I thought it personally smelt horrible, but to each nose their own.
 
I like the Trumpers sandalwood, and the proraso red.

AOS is OK, but I hate those false bottoms jars that they use for the cream.

I tried TOBS, but it smelled too Perfume-ey to me. Didn’t like it at all.

Never tried the Stirling- might have to give it a shot.
