Speick
C.O. Bigelow Dr. Galen Herbal Face Tonic
Thayer's Superhazel or Lavender-Mint
Homemade Alcohol/Hydrosol/Witch Hazel blend
Lucky Tiger

These are the only ones I use at this point.

This is a good list. Rare to see someone else rate the Bigelow face tonic highly. More people should know about it. It's a good performer at a good price.
 
1. Czech & Speake Oxford & Cambridge - unbelievable lavender
2. Fine Platinum
3. Captain's Choice Venture
4. Eufros Rosa Bourbon Balm
5. Proraso Green

Honorable mention: Chatillon Lux- nearly any scent, Soap Commander balms esp Honor, CF Ghost Town Barber, Myrsol Agua Balsamica, Myrsol Formula F/extra, and probably more.

I definitely could use a top 10.
 
When my dad was sick, someone gave him some Royall Lime and Royall Bay Rum after shave bottles. I loved that stuff. I would say those two and Pinaud Clubman. The Duke Cannon balm is really nice.
 
I have too many...and my favorites vary wildly based on season, mood, event, etc. I will say I have many Fine and WSP bottles, and gravitate to those a lot. But I also have many "over the counter" like Clubman line and AV line. Once in a while, those are perfect.
 
Update:
