I know that sometimes these questions can become contentious and I don't mean it to be but for Fun & Giggles I would be interested in what we all consider their favorites. Ok without any order my 5 would be: Proraso White Nivea Blue (preferably the German formulation nicer scent) Nivea White Nancy Boy Signature
I really prefer soaps but there are a few creams I like to use once in a while. Ingram - If you like menthol, this is a good one to try. Art of Shaving (whatever scent you like) - They're expensive but at least they're good Proraso - any scent except the blue for me. Truefitt & Hill (whatever scent you like) - also expensive but I think it's the pick of the litter from the 3 T's. Cyril R. Salter - I like Sublime Citrus but they have some other good scents too. I haven't seen Palmolive menthol in a while so maybe it's discontinued? it would get an honorable mention. The scent is a bit odd but it works well. Trumpers creams are pretty good and they have some nice scents. They might be a tie with Salter. TOBS is not quite as good IMO.
Right Now, these are my Top Five, that changes often! Taylor of Old Bond Street Eton College Shaving Cream Taylor of Old Bond Street Sandalwood Shaving Cream The Body Shop Maca Root & Aloe Softening Shaving Cream The Art of Shaving Shaving Cream for Men - OUD Geo F Trumper Eucris Shaving Cream
I just recently (only a few weeks) began shaving with creams again after a very long hiatus. Proraso Red and Green were the ones I started with before going strictly soap. That said, my top 5 creams are DRH Arlington DRH Eucalyptus ASW Aloe ASW Bay Rum Proraso Red
My top 5 in no particular order 1. C. O. Bigelow shave cream 2. C. O. Bigelow shave cream 3. C. O. Bigelow shave cream 4. C. O. Bigelow shave cream 5. C. O. Bigelow shave cream Honorable mention whatever Proraso cream the C. O. Bigelow creams are a rebrand of.
I really like Proraso Blue and Nivea Senstive (not sure they still make that). Old Spice and TOBS were okay. That's all I've tried (other than Barbasol - which I really, really wish made a good cream that smelled like the foam).
1. Nancy Boy Signature 2. Nancy Boy Sandawood 3. Castle Forbes Lime 4. Castle Forbes Lavender 5. Bigelow
