Thread: How many cremes?

I though I would add one more thing I forgot to add in my 1st post..Godrej Shave Soap..so far westcoastshaving is the only cheap if not reasonable place to get..also synthic..I cut into 4 small parts and the entire cake fits well ibnmy large black scuttle (from SRD)..I think I'll try Godrej Lime manyana or Saturday

In addition to a couple of tubes of CO Bigelow (Proraso), I still have much of the samples I ordered last Christmas from the Shave Den (love those sample tubs!). I reviewed them in another post. In no particular order:

Godrej Menthol Mist
Arko Commando
Palmolive Moisturizing Deluxe
C and F Lime
Vulfix Sicilian Lime
Proraso
TOBS Sandalwood
Blix Fresh
T and H Trafalgar
Tabac
Connaught Peppermint

I am slowly narrowing down to a few favorites, though I of course plan to try many samples. To me, that's perhaps the most fun element of wet-shaving, the creams!

My creams:

Al's Bomb "Cedar"
Castle Forbes "Lime"
Erasmic
Ingram
J. Peterman "1903"
Palmolive "Classic"
Proraso
TGQ (Three types. Don't remember specific scents.)
TOBS "Shaving Shop"
TOBS "Rose"
Cyril Salter "Vetiver"

In alphabetical order:

• Castle Forbes Cedarwood and Sandalwood
• Castle Forbes Lime
• Cyril R. Salter Almond
• Cyril R. Salter French Vetiver
• Cyril R. Salter Indian Sandalwood
• Cyril R. Salter Wild Rose
• QED Jasmine
• Shulton Old Spice Fresh Lime

To answer an unasked question, I like the first seven because they're "hard" creams; that is, not only are they physically hard (like soap), but they also lather like soap (you can keep adding water -- lots of water -- without worrying about the lather getting thin or, well, watery). I have the last one because sometimes a man wants a light shaving cream; you know... like lite beer? For guests?

Heeyyyy, not fair...that's exactly what I have

As a DE shaver, I found the razor that works for me (Crystal in a Merkur HD or EJ), so really the ultimate variable/ investment has become creams and balms, which I've enjoyed exploring very much:

1. Calypso Bomb
2. Soca Bomb
3. Boheme Bomb (an outrageous scent and acquired taste, but once you've acquired it the scent is bizarrely addictive)
4. CF Lime
5. Trumper's Coconut
6. TOBS Avocado

i'd love to have scad but i travel light.. three creams are c.o. bigelow, kiss my face, and tobs almond...

i do however have about 8 soaps.

Cremes

TOBS - Sandalwood, Tub and Tube (my parents found it in a tube on holiday and couldn't think of anything else to bring me back. So I has both, which is ok coz I use it often).
TOBS - Rose - Tub.
Omega - Tube.

Soaps.

SRD Lime.
Wilkinson Sword.
Boots own brand.
C&E Sandalwood soap.

There's my list although I've had a few and gave them to my mate because they have too much menthol, menthol does not agree with my nose if it's too much lol.

I know.. It just makes it < 100% synthetic.
