    I'll break mine down into four categories; 1st, 2nd and 3rd tier plus those I won't be buying again.

    1st Tier
    J.M. Fraser's - Just got this (Thanks, Smedley!!) and it's already my absolute favorite. Pleasant lemony scent and very lubricating. Plus it comes in a huge 450ml tub (about twice what you get from Taylor's).

    C&E Almond and Taylor's Almond - both perform very well (too bad about the scents; just don't care for either)
    2nd Tier
    Taylor's Lavender and GFT Rose - love the scent of both and I get awesome shaves from these. Just not quite on a par with Tier 1.
    3rd Tier
    Taylor's St. James and Mr. Taylor
    T&H Grafton and 1805
    Salter Citrus
    Proraso Green
    All are fine, just not as good as the others.
    Will never buy again
    Taylor's Avocado. Too bad because it does what shaving cream is supposed to do and it does it very well. I just don't care for the scent. Sickeningly sweet...to my nose anyway. If you like the scent, buy some as it's a very good cream.

    GFT Coconut. Shaves ok, but has absolutely NO scent! NONE! Can't understand the RAVES I've read about the scent of this one. Did I mention that it has no scent?

    GFT Violet. Again, shave is fine, but it smells like wet cardboard.

    Musgo Real. Love the scent, but my face doesn't get along with this one at all.
    I'm sure many will have differing opinions, but that's my story and I'm sticking to it! ::

    Michael, I have a feeling Musgo was reformulated, because I once had a serious problem with skin irritation and rashes with it. Recently, I received another Musgo tube, and I find I can shave with Musgo without these problems.

    Did you find a home for the Musgo? :D

    Michael Duke of Kent

    I just bought the Musgo a month ago. Maybe I should try the original formula! :D

    If you're asking me, no. I have one unopened tube and one that I've used 2-3 times. Cost, with shipping was $24. Wanna trade?

    You will get a PM, If my MUCH better half lets me :D

    Much better? No doubt. But what's THAT got to do with it? :cool:

    1-Penhaligons Blenheim Bouquet
    2-Proraso Green
    3-AOS Sandalwood
    4-T&H 1805
    5-Toms of Maine "Mint"
    6-Nancy Boy "signature scent"
    7-Trumpers Almond

    All of this could change, pending on Nancy Boy's decision, or not, to come out with an "invigorating" shave cream.
