Top ten shaving creams

Stone Cottage Hesperide
Santa Maria Novella
Meissner Tremonia shaving paste
Wm Neumann
Taconic
Murphy & McNeil (called a soap, but it's very soft)
XPEC
Castle Forbes

My other shaving creams don't rise to the level of these eight.

P.S. I forgot about Hemingway Accoutrements and Barberry Coast. That makes ten.

I'm not too much found on shaving creams, I prefer shaving soaps but when I reach for a cream: (listed in order of preference)

Álvarez Gómez
OSP
Lea Classic
Santa Maria de Novella
 
I have been sampling various soaps and creams via ShaveDash. Recently received an order which included a sample of Santa Maria Novella. My goodness that's one outstanding shaving cream. There's no way I can afford to buy a full tub but I'm happy I got to try it. Besides I have enough soap to last me the rest of my life.
