Wow, tried a cream for first time

[BarryP13]

I ordered and received a Truefit & Hill shaving cream sampler ( a few balms included). I had previously used soap pucks since I started
about 6 weeks ago. All I can say is WOW. I tried the Sandalwood. The Lather was AMAZING. 3 passes, as close as I think I can get to a BBS, a DFS for sure. And my skin loved the aftershave balm. my face feels AMAZING.

No surprise- T&H makes some great creams.

Creams can be quite nice. Enjoy!

I just got the sampler, so far my favorite has been Grafton.

I've tried many varieties of TOBS creams and gone through both the T&H and Trumpers samplers. Of the three T's I prefer T&H.

Of course there are other creams I like - Musgo, Proraso and eShave come to mind.

You have good taste. You'd probably like DRH, too.

Nice! I have a few creams, but find that the lather is a bit finicky. I can lather Proraso soap no problem, but the cream is a bit more difficult for me. Perhaps I am using too much water? Even when it's relatively creamy it seems to dry out on my face quick than when using one of my soaps.

T&H and D.R. Harris fight for the front spot on my top shelf.

Well, I'd have to see it, but probably not enough. Proraso is a thirsty cream.

Now go the next step: put a dab of your favorite cream on a puck of your favorite soap and make a superlather. Some of my (and others') favorite combos are in this thread; scroll down to Similar Threads, at the bottom of that page, for more.

My latest discovery: C&E West Indian Lime soap + Erasmic cream (new formulation). The scents and textures of these two products blend exceptionally well.

Since the OP is new I will say that DRH is an abbreviation for D. R. Harris. TOBS is Taylor's of Bay Street. Truefitt & Hill, Taylor's of Bay Street and DR Harris all sell both soaps and creams.
