TOBS or T&H Almond cream?

I would love to get a nice almond cream for the upcoming fall/winter. Sounds like I would really enjoy the scent of an almond cream but don't know which of the two brand would produce the best shave while also maintaining a great scent. Anyone have a favorite of the two or a different brand?
 
I can speak for TOBS almond. It has a VERY strong cherry scent due to the benzaldehyde in the formula. I personally do not like this type of scent, and I did not enjoy the scent of TOBS almond after I lathered it and shaved with it. Pity because I got a tremendous shave with it.

I really wanted to like the cream, but the scent just turned me away. Don't get me wrong, there are LOTS of people who enjoy TOBS almond and other almond creams for that matter, I'm just not one of them. I can tell you, as I'm sure others will, that you will get a great shave with TOBS almond. Even better for you if you like the scent.
 
The scents are pretty much the same, imo, I just think TOBS is stronger while T&H is a little more subdued.

Just depends on your preference of manufacturer and/or how much you want to spend.
 
TOBS Amond, for me, is the perfect cream.

So far I've tried several from T&H, Castle Forbes, C&E, Proraso, and some others like KMF and Trader Joe's.

Today I ordered a Simpson 1/1 from Vintageblades and while talking to Jim was convinced to try their new cream. I'll try and post some comments on it next week.

But for now, when I want a perfect shave I reach for the TOBS almond.
