Top 5 shaving Creams?

"Over the counter" creams available in Canada:
Nivea regular and sensitive are widely available for cheap ($3.50 CAN) at Walmart, grocery stores and drug stores.
Proraso white and Real Shaving Company Sensitive at Shoppers Drug Mart stores are excellent too, and often go on sale.
I tried a tube of Proraso green. Did not like it.. Gave it to my brother. He gave it away too. Just shows how much YMMV.
 
Right now I’m down to just four creams in my Shave Den...

Wm Neumann & Co. Old Fashioned Soda
T&H 1805

My problem is that in my wet shaving career I've only used about 5 creams!

TOBS Sandalwood
TOBS Peppermint
Col. Conk Santa Fe Cedar
Palmolive Classic Brushless
Erasmic Brushless
TOBS Lemon and Lime

Okay, 6, then. I've listed them from best to poorest.
 
1. L’Occitane Cade
2. TOBS Mr. Taylor’s
3. Proraso Red
4. Proraso Green
5. AoS Sandalwood

I’m not much of a cream guy at all, but I absolutely love L’Occitane Cade cream! Someone sent me half a tube as a bonus freebie from something I purchased in the b/s/t a few years back. Its light Juniper scent is wonderful, and its performance is as good as any of my favorite soaps, such as Valobra, PAA, and Razorock.

In no special order:

1. La Toja
2. C.O. Bigelow
3. Proraso Green (I know it is the same as the Bigelow)
4. Proraso Single Blade: Azur Lime
5. TOBS Almond
 
I don’t use creams that much anymore once I ventured into hard soap pucks.

But my favorites are/were: musgo real oakmoss, proraso blue/red, and ES natural shaving cream. Need to try maca root.
