Shaving creams with fruit scents (apple, pear etc)

[Mark Moody]

Hi,
I'm a fan of fruit scents and was wondering if there are any shaving creams out there with apple or pear scent? Other fruit scents recommendations are welcomed as well!

Thanks,
MM.

There´s the "I Coloniali Mango", shaving cream or soap. Italians make great shaving products.

Nice, thanks! I'll be trying that for sure!

John over at Shaving Essentials was selling an orange scented cream that smells fantastic and works beautifully. Wesley and Scott. It's not on his site right now. I suggest you hit him up.

I picked up there three creams from http://www.shaveabuck.com

The Energetic version smells like Fruit Stripe Gum to my palate.

Cool, thanks.. great suggestions. Keep'em coming!

+1 on the Wesley and Scott Orange (and the lime).

Lots of lime options:
T&H, ToBS, Trumper, Cyril Salter

Few lemon options:
Art of Shaving, a few artisan soaps.


I believe that Cremo Cream and the original Fraser's have Bergamot/Orange-y scents.

Yeah, if you like lime, the sky's the limit. I have the Trumper's and it's pretty nice. I also like the T&H a great deal. KMF makes a "key limes" cream that shaves well, but the smell is pretty muted. Mama Bear makes a variety of lime-scented glycerine soaps, if you want to venture into the soap side of things. Don't forget the granddaddy of all lime-scented creams, Castle Forbes.

Castle Forbes Lime. OMG, Castle Forbes Lime. I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE Castle Forbes lime. There's not another lime out there to compare to it. Expensive but worth every penny.

This isn't exactly a fruit scent but it is very light and reminds me of mangos: Edwin Jagger Sea Buckthorn. Fantastic scent. Used it this morning in fact

#1 on the Forbes.

Does it have to be a cream recommendation?
If not Mama Bear's has an incredible variety of scents including the scents your looking for.

Dr. Harris' Arlington is lemony, Taylors do a lemon & lime

I find Fraser's to be "lemony" scented. Lemony, limey, citrusy, whatever you call it...it's a fantastic cream!

Check out The Gentlemens Quarter, if you like orange. She makes several creams where orange is blended with other scents. The Orange Patchouli smells great.

In addition, TGQ's Cream de Campagne cream is fantastic. My favorite is the Blackberry Sage, excellent but only in soap.

I just received a tub of Salter's sublime citrus. its a grapefruit scent and its one of the best smelling creams I've purchased. I'll use it tomorrow and see how it performs but expect it to be as good as the other Salter creams I have used.

I would say it is exactly a fruit scent! It smells like sweet canned pears to me. It is also incredibly good shave soap and is in my top five. The balm is even fruitier but a bit heavy for every day use. The GF loves it.

+1 Great stuff.

Lemon type scents Trumpers GFT, and D R Harris Arlington are worth a try. Smell great and perform exceptionally well.

SCS used to make a Cranberry Crush cream, and an Apricot Mango cream. Unfortunately I don't believe they're carried any more. I still have some of each and really like them.

Good luck.

Haha ok, it smells exactly like a fruit scent, but I'm not sure Sea Buckthorn is a fruit...actually, wait while I google...and I guess I stand corrected. Sea Buckthorn is a shrub on which little orange colored berries grow that are harvested, mashed, and mixed up with a bunch of stuff to make an awesome soap/cream! The OP should get some here or here

 

[Mark Moody]

Ooohhh.. Sea Buckthorn sounds like something right up my alley! Will try!!


Thanks for all the great suggestions fellas! I'm gonna start trying them out!
