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 was looking at the roae of Bulgaria, now I can look at these other ones. Were do you get them? Just off ebay?
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.
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.
In no special order, they are specific, based on scent, without a doubt! Cyril R. Salter - French Vetiver Taylor of Old Bond Street - Eton College St James of London Tonka & Tobacco Flower
the french vetiver is awesome, my buddy has it at present..loves it too..am enjoying the salter sandalwood..
