TOBS Rose

Just tried some TOBS Rose SC from a TSD sample pack. Wow. This is by far the best cream I have tried so far. Very slick lather, very good lubrication and the scent is awesome, so much so that SWMBO, who does not like Rose scents liked it a lot. A little goes a long way and I imagine I will get atleast 8-10 shaves out of the TSD sample. I think I have just found the first SC in my rotation.

Seeing as how SWMBO liked the scent, and I did too, are there any other recommendations for other rose SC/SS I should try?

Saint Charles Shave has a Savory Rose soap and Splash. Cyril Salter's Rose is an excellent rose cream that is very economical and top quality.
 
T&H
Trumpers
Aos (its marketed at women but is apparently as good as their others)
DR Harris, just reintroduced its Rose cream, initial reviews seem good
 
I must admit that Taylor's Rose makes an exceptional lather. However, I felt the smell was a mix between a funeral, mothballs, and Ivory soap:thumbdown. To each his own I guess. I will continue to use it because of the great shave I get, but I think it should be called Taylor's Geriatric Brothel instead of "Rose"...just my two cents:001_tt2:. Try the T&H i've been hearing good things about that one, I think i'll be doing the same.

There are several rose options: TOBS, D.R. Harris, T&H and Trumper. All are good creams with some differences in scent. I'm currently using the Harris and the first impressions are good both in terms of the lather and scent. I have used TOBS before and it is also very good.

You can also checks out some rose soaps: Trumper, Saint Charles Shave and Straight Razor Designs have excellent rose soaps.
