What's your favorite commercial shaving cream??

Hello Gents,

I'm curious to know what's your favorite commercial shaving cream and why.??

 

There you go!!

 

My morning routine

 

Rise. (man I'm gonna miss it when it's gone, I'm on my last can).

 

You mean the can goo??

If I gotta pick on... Musgo Real... or Tabac.... or Rose of Bulgaria. They work great and are easy to get great lather from. Rose is a favorite scent of mine.

 

Bulgaria makes terrific shaving creams: kapo, Viking, Top ten, Kyna, Ikar, Supermax, Rose of Bulgaria, Lavender and tons more.!!!

Poland produces a number of great shaving creams too.!!

 

I have Kapo , top ten supermax and lavender along with the rose,. As you say veddy nice creams.

 

I was looking at the roae of Bulgaria, now I can look at these other ones. Were do you get them? Just off ebay?

 

It's excellent goo.

 

The one on the left. Be careful...you could lose a tube of Preparation H in that drawer.

I'm a fan of Taylor of Old Bond Street creams. They offer a nice variety of scents, performance is top notch, and the cost is reasonable. Another good one is C.O. Bigelow. I can pick up a large tube locally from Bath and Body works for about $5 with sales and discounts.

I love Tabac soap. Will have to give the cream a try.

 

What is the tobacco like in Tabac...sweet/vanilla(pipe), or harsh/cigarette?

 

GFT Spanish Leather comes to mind.
The scent is intoxicating.

That being said, I could probably list several great creams that I have which is probably why I have a closet full.

 

Was that an answer to my tobacco question?

 

Paul, the scent is described by the manufacturer as "a blend of lavender, citrus, and warm florals." It gets mixed reviews, but I enjoy the scent. There's no harsh/cigarette smell at all. I know you like to match products with seasons. I think you'd prefer Tabac in fall or winter. The soap is absolutely top notch as well.

 

Oh, I wasn't saying there WAS "Harsh/cigarette"....it was more an either/or question. You're right, I'd go for it in the fall/winter.

Must Go Real, eh? )))

 

commercial cream? domestic i would say the gillette pure is great stuff, euro, nivea blue, italian , proraso green..

 

The only cream I have tried besides the can is Pacific shaving, it is ok but the lather doesn't last as long as I would like. I will be getting more next time I order stuff offline. Down here in the Fl Keys I have a hard time finding anything that is not a can of foaming goo.

 

Too many top notch creams to pick a favorite based on performance. So for me it's about scent. Castle Forbes 1445 is probably my number one. Musgo Real classic scent isa contender too.

Of course, I haven't gotten around to trying most of the 30ish creams that I own.

 

1. Palmolive
2. Musgo Real
3. Arko Creams (any "scent")
4. Gillette Pure
5. Puck of Williams

 

In no special order, they are specific, based on scent, without a doubt!
