Which creams do you still use?

[mretzloff]

Don't act like you have totally abandoned creams. I'm sure you still use a few.

I would guess hard creams, such as Castle Forbes, Santa Maria Novella, and Acqua di Parma, would be on the list.

These all give me great shaves and I will list what I like most about them. Also I use soap most of the time and face lather but I feel sometimes I enjoy lathering cream in a bowl. It is hard to explain but my brushes seem to soak in and expand full of lather when I bowl lather vs face lather. It is enjoyable.

Bigelow/proraso-Because of the menthol, cheapness, and availability.

TOBS Rose-Relatively cheap and the rose scent is different than the norm.

Body Shop old cream-Picked it up for $4 and it works well.

AOS Sandalwood-Awesome scent. Probably favorite shaving scent along with Speick.

Have you tried the soap? If so, how do they compare?

 

[Doc4]

The ones I have.



No, seriously. I've got more cream that I can shake a Plisson at, and if I get any more some will have gone bad long before I get around to using them. I've got 3 full tubs of TOBS and a well-used St James, a tub of T&H limes, GFT coconut, CSC very V, and CF cedar/sandal/wood; plus a pump of KMF mint and a whole stash of Florena tubes and a Floris santal tube. ... oh and a tub of Classicshaving bayrum.

... I think that's all.

I want to get a tube of Musgo, but have no other plans to buy creams until these are basically used up and then replace the top two or three or thereabouts.

why creams when there are soaps loaded with tallow?

 

[markb]

Speick, Irisch Moos, Wars


Edit: Also Musgo Real

 

[Cains Boy]

TOBS St. James (love the scent, will probably mill the shave stick version into a mug, as shave sticks aren't my thing)

T&H Lavender (I can't find anything else that smells remotely close in creams, soaps, or colognes -- not a "pure" lavender, but very, very amazing)

Harris Arlington (plan on getting the soap very soon and selling the cream)

Tallow soaps really are the best. But sometimes a little change up is in order.

why creams when there are soaps loaded with tallow?

TOBS creams are great for travel because of the screw on lids.

TOBS Almond and DR Harris Lavender

Have never tried the DR Harris Lavender soap, but I have a hard time believing its as good smelling as the cream! I've turned down a tallow soap or two in the mornings for this tub of purple goodness...

 

[grumpy old codger]

I've got Proraso (Green), Classic Shaving Bay Rum, Castle and Forbes (Lime), CandE Unscented and TOBS Sandalwood. I alternate every day between a soap and a cream. Still searching for that perfect shave!
