What TOBS to pick?

Grapefruit is the one I've been using and seems to be a big hit. The smell is fantastic on a warm summer morning, like someone just cut a grapefruit in half. Fantastic slick lather that's easy to make as well.
Jermyn St. gets my vote.
I like Mr. Taylor the best. Jermyn St. and Eton College are both nice as well.

I'm a big fan of Mr Taylor. Although, I find Proraso Red is probably going to replace it in my rotation, so I will likely opt for Grapefruit or Avocado next time I order TOBS.
I make regular use of Eton College, Jermyn St, and Sandalwood. I recently added Grapefruit and it'll be a winner for anyone who enjoys that scent since it is amazingly true to a fresh cut one.
only know the Grapefruit since Phil at BG recommended it to me. Great smell. I have not gotten the same slip and performance out of it as I have fro the cheapo Euro supermarket stuff such as Palmolive Italian, Proraso green or Nivea (most slip). But I may just not do the water ratios right just yet.
I wonder, I get 10 tubes of all of the Euro supermarket stuff for one tub of TOBS...not sure if that is a good deal for me since I like then even better.

Either you've got a great deal on the supermarket brands or you're getting ripped off on TOBS!
If you are at all partial to citrus,then absolutely buy the TOBS Grapefruit. Marvelous in every way,but they particularly captured the fresh and Real scent of grapefruit here. Its superb,IMO, Craig
just got back from Europe with a bag full of palomolve sticks (Euro 0.75), palmolive cream at 0.85, Nivea cream at 1.25. Never tried the Nivea cream before but I like the new scent and performance is very great. My favorite of any cream, the palmolive Italian formula with menthol I could not find in Germany and Switzerland.
TOBS I can not touch under $16. maybe I am missing something here but that's 20 tubes of Palmolive and 30 tubes of Balea (0.65 Euro).

Haven't tried the Grapefruit and it sounds great but of the remaining choices I would go with Rose. Love the scent and the performance.
Either Grapefruit or Eton College.
sandalwood or jermyn street
I really enjoy the grapefruit and coconut.
+1 for grapefruit. The sandlewood is great too though.
So far everyone has just suggested what THEY like. The OP asked specifically about Sandalwood and Lemon & Lime.
Personally, I'd recommend Grapefruit, Jermyn St, St James and Mr Taylor. Sandalwood was nice, but not enough to warrant buying a full tub. I threw out my avocado, coconut and lemon & lime samples after one try because they weren't nice at all. YMMV.

I think the avacado is amazing. I bought several from sierratrading post for 7.50 each. Smells like fresh mowed lawn to me.......
