Top 5 shaving Creams?

[cgr86]

I came here to add that I tried Musgo Real the classic formula and I LOVE it. It's been years since I have used it, but having tried it again after a few years it's easily top 3 creams I have tried. I love that it has lanolin in it.

Proraso Green, didn't think I'd like it, but love it!
CO Bigelow
Proraso Red
Old Spice Original
Palmolive

Only creams I have, the rest are soaps or croaps.

No order would shave with them anyday
1) Biotique Bio Palmyra Spa Shave Cream - Nice slickness and awesome scent
2) Old Spice - Classic
3) Palmolive Classica
4) Dettol Cool - For the unforgiving Indian summer
5) Shaving Station - Newbie but they make great products.

Lately, I've been using creams more and more instead of soaps. Right now my top five are:

Baume.be
GFT Coconut Oil
GFT Limes
TOBS Cedarwood
Proraso Green

This could all change since I have samples of all three Castle Forbes creams and Alvarez Gomez cream on the way.

Update: Alvarez Gomez trumps the Proraso for sure, and Castle Forbes Lime tops GFT Limes in terms of performance. If the samples of CF Lavender, and Cedar and Sandalwood are as nice as the Lime, I'll have to redo my whole list and spend more money.

Taylor - Sandalwood
Harris - Windsor
Trumper - GFT
T&H - Sandalwood
SMN - CdB (v1, v3)

HM: St. James - L&G

So out of curiosity, is TOBS Jermyn St just not a popular cream? I only ask because I just recently started using real creams and soaps, and that is the only cream I have used at this point. I will ad that I love it

CF does that to people: crack of cremes

3. Proraso Green

A little update.

1. Truefitt & Hill - Grafton
2. Taylor of Old Bond Street - Mr. Taylors
3. Acca Kappa 1869 - Almond
4. Taylor of Old Bond Street - Sandalwood
5. Taylor of Old Bond Street - Lemon & Lime

I removed Truefitt & Hill Apsley, because at the moment I don't feel the love that much anymore... Sucks when that happens.
I might keep it, I might sell it. Who knows.

I replaced it with a new member in my shave den, the Acca Kappa 1869 Almond, which is an awesome product.

I had this cream a while back, but the scent didn't do it for me.
So I sold it, or maybe gave it away. Cant remember
