Musgo Real original. Started at the top, but of course I didn't know it at the time..
What was your first shaving cream?

Proraso Blue. It was my first purchase along with the Merkur razor as I got into DE shaving.
Geo F Trumper's Limes was my first cream. It wasn't exactly what I was expecting, I didn't realise there was some floral/powdery scenting in there when I ordered it but I like it and use it at least once a week.
A tube of Old Spice Original--gift from my dad on my 18th birthday in 1969. i also got a razor, Gillette Blue blades, and old spice A/S.
Dad later told me he was very proud of me for going to register to vote, and for the Vietnam war draft that day.

TOBS the St. James collection. Their creams are the best.
CO Bigelow
Mennen's, my go to cream in the late '50's.
My first is AoS Peppermint
J.M.Fraser's shaving cream. A great value and abnormaly very slick. The scent is lemon. Nothing more nothing less.
Taylor of Old Bond Street Almond
My first was Erasmic. Decent lather, blah scent.
TOBS Sandalwood
Just tried Speick this morning. My very first cream ever.
Not too shabby.

Proraso green was my first. Once I figured out what I was doing it was very nice.
Started DE shaving last week. My first is one of Maggard's house products:

Geo F Trumper's Rose and Musgo Real about 15 years ago. At the same time I had ordered some Trumper's coconut triple-milled soap. The creams were good, but I got such good performance from that soap that I figured I was "a soap guy". At some point I had some Origins Blade Runner brushless that was pretty good for when I had to shave in a hurry. Didn't touch another cream until this past fall. Out of curiosity, I ordered a sandalwood sample pack from Westcoast Shaving. Of those 8, the Cyril R Salter cream's performance impressed me enough to pick up a tub, but in mint. I'm not all that jazzed by sandalwood and it was under $11 with shipping from eBay.
My absolute first was probably Rise or Barbasol used many moons ago. My first as a wet shave enthusiast was Art of Shaving Sandlewood. Stull live the smell of that stuff.
GFT Spanish Leather
My first shaving cream as a wet shaver was actually a sample pack I got with a kit I ordered. First shaving cream I bought on its own was Derby's Super Menthol, since I got a pack of Derby blades with the kit I bought and liked using the blades I figured I give the cream a shot.
