My Top 5 Shave Creams

As of 11/30/2007:

I'm going to list the company and not the individual scent since I seem to like all the scents offered by them.

#1 Crabtree & Evelyn
#2 Floris London
#3 Truefitt & Hill or Taylor of Old Bond Street (Made by same company. Geo F. Trumper is the other one of the three "T" shaving soap/cream companies)
#4 Tabac
#5 Musgo Real

Creams are generally easier to lather and more geared to shaving with DE razors. That's not to say that any of these creams would not do well with a straight razor. I'm used them quite often with a straight razor or the Feather ACD-N razor with excellent results. There is one cream I left out that should have a special note. Kiss My Face unscented shave cream should be a household item. It can be paired up with anything and has saved many a shave due to a poor performing cream or soap. Any of the above matched up with a soap for a "super lather" is just plain decadent. I'm sure this list will change since there are many more creams that I haven't tried.
