The Best Shave Creams

[ada8356]

There are loads of creams out there worth trying out.

I've got a little of everything: Taylors, Trumpers, Truefitt & Hill, Art of Shaving, Proraso, Musgo Real, Palmolive, Frasers, Floris, and probably a few others.

Out of those, the Frasers (http://www.thebeautyfactory.com/barber.htm)is probably my favorite. It's loaded with glycerin and super slick.

It's also a super value. A huge tub of this stuff is only around $10.:)

Yeah, but how do we know all those aren't from a tub of Cool Whip? Or worse - Foamy?! :rolleyes:

One of my LEAST favorite shaving cream scents is Almond. However, I DO have a tub of C&E that really is very good in the performance department...probably one of my best in fact. Guess I'll have to try another C&E scent and hope it works as well as the Almond does.

[TraderJoe]

Or worse - Foamy?! :rolleyes:


Put it this way.....the day I resort back to using that crap - I will Tar & Feather MYSELF :)

You know, I really don't remember the last time I used canned lather - probably a good ten years before you were BORN! (Yeah, I'm THAT old...older, even!) ;)

[ada8356]

Even before I discovered this 'lost art' I had quit using canned anything.

Prior to discovering wetshaving, I was using Kiehl's brushless shave creams.

[Mottern Man]

Nota huge cream fan

But I have yet to use MB's

I like Harris Almond and Salter Mint so far.

[crackstar]

I'll jump off a bridge before I ever use canned gook. I'm 52, and have been shaving with a brush, DE, and soap/cream for 38 years, and I plan to continue. :)

Jeff

[crackstar]

Michael, C&E almond is actually a muguet scent, not really almond, in the sense that Taylors, or DR Harris is. You're right about the cream, it does perform great.

I love Almond in every formulation.....EXCEPT C&E. I is a great shaving cream...but I just can't stand the smell.

Brian

I'll second that notion, my friend. Actually, I find all the C&E fragrances sweet and sickening. Their sandalwood was a big let-down, given the hype. Its a shame, because they are widely available....but they just don't do it for me.

[crackstar]

Joe, actually, C&E puts out damn nice shave creams. The problem is, they're so expensive for the most part.

I just cant stand the smells of them :)

[Queen of Blades]

I love the C&E Almond, and the smell of the Sandalwood.

Hate, hate, hate the smell of Nomad!

[Mottern Man]

Sandalwood.........too sweet
Sienna.........................no

Guess I gota give the Almond a try (I do like me some Almond scents)

[Queen of Blades]

Sounds to me like you shouldn't give the Almond a try.

[Michael]

This is interesting. At TOP, I really don't recall reading ANY negative comments about C&E Sweet Almond. Maybe I just missed 'em, but every post I recall reading raved about it. Smells great, works great, yadda, yadda. Well, it DOES work great!!

[Queen of Blades]

No Michael there were posts stating people's opinions that they didn't like C&E Almond, or other stuff.

The truth has been revealed :D

You won't find any raves about the C&E by me....

I tend to like creams over soaps.

The Frasers looks interesting as well as Olivia's.

Anyone comment on the scents of these two?

The Frasers, to me....doesn't have an incredible scent. It isn't horrible, but its not one of my favorites. A lemon-cookie type smell.

Olivia's creams are available in all of her offered scents. A personal favorite of mine that she offers is the Churchill. Very clean, classy....a true "gentelman's" fragrance.

Maybe I will go back and explore the Olivia's

I have to place and order for Crema Sapone Cella so I guess I will get this too!

Fraser's, never heard of this?

[TraderJoe]

I have sent you a (small) sample tub of this. It is marked accordingly.

THANKS JOE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LX_Emergency]

Anyone comment on the scents of these two?

Don't know about frasers but I have 4 creams by Olivia's:
Myhrr....wonderfull absolutly lovely warm scent (and all the creams are quite good)
Amber very nice warm scent as well, just different.
Rolling Stone: Ver nice fresh scent
Chill out: Do not like this scent at all. but the cream is quite good.

Myhrr is my favorite out of those though.

[SSLSTudio...]

Olivia Chruchill good cream but a typical smell I dont like. I will still use it because its a great cream.

I cant comment on the Fraser cream because the smelll must have been altered I received a package from Canada and it had been abused 3 weeks during its travel we feared it would never arrive but it did eventually. The bayrum bottle had broken nothing bayrum wise to be found. The Fraser was all over the place.
I think I rescued 40% of whats normally in the tub thats enough for me to last 2 years im not too much worried. im just upset that my friend had to pay good money to some Post office #$#%@# who said she was a pro at packing yeah right. The glass splinters also cut up into the other creams so now I have to be carefull where I squeeze or else it will come out of the middle of the creams. smae with the balmsems. I just hope there aint glass in the cream that would really cut up my face. :eek:

MY favorite creams would be :

-T&H 1805 (UK)
-Alando Men Rasier Creme (germany)
-Verguldehand cream (Netherlands)
-Taylor Advocado
-Cerrus (surprisingly underrated cream)
-Coates Tea Tree

[msandoval858]

I'm a big fan of T&H creams. I love the Sandalwood, Rose, and Grafton. 1805 isn't bad either.

Other creams I enjoy are AoS Lavender and WARS.

[TraderJoe]

[Tony Shlongini]

Rene - sorry to hear/see your woes. It is hilarious, that pic. Good Show!

+1. That looks like a crime scene photo.

My favorite creams are Coates, Harris, and Penhaligons, with a smattering of Taylor and T&H thrown in for good measure.

[Mama Bear]

I just hope there aint glass in the cream that would really cut up my face. :eek:

Oh Rene, that could make for a bit of a rough shave! My God.... it DOES look like a crime scene photo!

[crackstar]

some of my favorite creams--well, Florena, Erasmic, Ingram, De Vergulde Hand, both Palmolives, and Arko Sensitive. Ohhhhh, I'd better not forget Speick! :D :D

Good thing Jeff is going to visit me this year , I must remind him to drop on a new Fraser Jar into his suitcase.. or else its ::duel

[ada8356]

I just got a jar of C&E Sweet Almond.

I don't have any other almond scents (it didn't seem like it would appeal to me) but I was offered this in a trade to I took it.

I guess I was expecting a scent similar to Amaretto or something... this smell as LOT more floral to me... like it should be called honeysuckle, or spring garden or something. It's not an offensive smell, but it certainly isn't what I was expecting from 'Almond'.

[berzerkeleyan]

My favorites would be Mugo Real, Body Shop, Omega, and TOBS Rose.

I'm a fan of the C&E Almond, but it doesn't smell like Almonds at all to me. It smells like Raid© Bug Spray (http://www.killsbugsdead.com/raid/). Good thing I like the smell of Raid©. It smells like...victory.

:happy102 my nose didn't get that, but as I mentioned, the smell is horrendous

[Scorpio]

For me the scent of C&E Almond is not almond but not that bad either. In fact get great shaves with it. I enjoy the three T's creams with at least one favorite in each brand.

Raf

[PalmettoB]

C&E Sienna is one of my faves. Never tried the almond, but now I think I won't.

[Smedley]

I tend to like creams over soaps.

The Frasers looks interesting as well as Olivia's.

Anyone comment on the scents of these two?

I'll echo what others have said about the Fraser. Mild lemon-lime scent that doesn't last past the shave. But a really nice cream, gives me super shaves every time.

I also am a big Florena fan. If I do go for another cream, it will be from a trip to the local C&E shop. Or the local Truefitt & Hill if I'm feeling reckless financially.

[jmhUT]

Good morning all, I'll offer my current favorites to yoru new site. They will change tomorrow, and again the day after that:D

Rose: TOBS
Lavender: Harris / TOBS
Almond: Harris / GFT
Avocado: TOBS
Lime: GFT / CF

Honorable mention for Harris Arlington, which I am still getting used to. The cream scent differs considerably from the A/S milk and cologne. More fern, less lime. It's growing on me though. I used to be quite a fan of the C&E almond until our building started using a soap in the restroom with the same scent. It still performs extremely well but the product is pretty much ruined for me now. Best of luck with the new site.

[moviemaniac]

I definitely love my CF Lavender as well as Olivias Cremes, TOBS Avocado/Sandalwood and Trumpers Rose.

Welcome Jeff!!! Glad to see you!!

[crackstar]

Another great cream is Wars, if you can find it...or Pollena Lider, both of these creams are made in Poland.

Jeff

[PalmettoB]

I finally got around to trying the C&E sweet almond. Fergie graciously sent me a sample (thanks again, Michael), but right about the time I received it, I caught a cold and didn't want to try it until I could really smell things again.

I tried it this morning. The lather was tremendous. The smell? Well, I don't hate it, but it is almost TOO sweet. It almost smelled like Aqua Net hairspray or something. But I will definitely use up the sample, because the lather is GREAT!

[crackstar]

Blair, the lather is sumptious to say the least. For that alone, that cream's a delight. I also find the skincare A-1 for my skin, which is ultra-fragile.

Jeff

[DMS]

The Vulfix shave creams never seem to get much ink in forums, but this was the first one I ever tried and I still like it. I use the Lavender flavor - it has a semi runny consistency but lathers like mad, shaves very well, and does a pretty good job of moisturizing too.

I use soaps most of the time but would buy the Vulfix cream again after I try MB Sandalwood Vanilla.

[PottyDoctor]

Dave,

I had forgotten about the Vulfix creams 'til you mentioned them. I've never tried them but would definitely consider ordering some Lavender sometime in the future. I've tried many Lavenders, but have not yet tried the Vulfix.

Maybe some others who've tried it can chime in with some feedback.

[madmedic]

The Vulfix creams are very good....well the lavender anyway. Very slick and protective.

[Ted]

My favourite so far is Trumper's Violet. It's a lovely fresh smell to start the day with, and its moisturising properties are really good too. Super smooth shaves.

Trumper's Rose is good too, but I'm not all that keen on the perfume.

Ted.

Interesting. I find that Taylor's violet smells rather like cardboard. Works fine, just smells funny to me. Perhaps I'll have to give GFT a shot. I do like GFT's Rose and Lavender creams.

I guess I'd have to say my favorite lathering cream is C&E's Almond, but it's hard to shave while holding my nose. T&H's Grafton has to be my overall favorite. I LOVE the scent and the lather is very good. Maybe not as good as the C&E, but close enough.

Glad to hear your feeling better, Blair. And you're quite welcome. I was worried about the lathering properties of the Almond I sent you...the container I put it in was from a sample of Caswell-Massey! :p I washed it out well before putting the C&E in, but you never know. I COULD NOT make lather with the C-M!! Wound up rinsing the brush and starting over with a real shave cream!

I think it's time to try some C&E Sandalwood (since JoAnna HATES HATES HATES Nomad). ;)

How funny a description of Trumper's Violet..."smells like cardboard." Well that's certainly not the most extreme description of I've ever heard of the GFT Violet...some liken it to the "scent of a harlot's handbag."

I can only refute the "smell of cardboard." GFT Violet was one of the first two creams I bought when I returned to wetshaving in mid 2005. It has turned out to be one of my favorite creams and I absolutely love the scent. But, as we say so many times in wetshaving, YMMV.

[Michael]

Yeah well, I got 'em backwards! It's the GFT Violet that smells like cardboard to me! I can't keep 'em straight...guess I'll have to order more!!!!!!! :drool

[xChris]

Another positive post for Vulfix Lavendar. It provides very good cushion in the lather. I bought mine @ QED, and it is definitely priced competitively.

[Baloosh]

Erasmic, and Proraso. JM Fraser's. Nancy Boy, etc.

Oh, and just about all of the Taylor's. And the Trumper's I've tried. And the couple of T&H I've tried too.

...just about everything. :drool

MamaBear needs to release a super-duper-ultra-menthol soap and cream. Perhaps a Menthol/Peppermint/Menthol/Eucalyptus/Menthol/Menthol soap and cream combo ... "MamaBear's Superlather Menthol Insanity." Probably have to be kept in the freezer. :cool: :cool:

Jason,

The Nancy Boy Signature and the J.M. Frasers are two of my favorite creams.

I really love the scent of the NB cream, but most of all I love the rich, creamy, luxurious, light-cooling, ultra-cushioning lather it produces; it's my 'go-to' cream.

I recently received a tub of J.M. Frasers in a trade. This stuff produces a totally different lather than any other cream I have used. The lather is ultra-thick, ultra-creamy, ultra-rich and produces an ultra-slick shaving surface. The citrusy scent is not anything to write home about, but the lather and shave are so outstanding I can live with the ho-hum scent.

Another of my favorites is Kiss My Face Lavender & Shea Butter. By itself it produces a top notch lather and gives the protection and cushioning that makes a great shave. However, I add this stuff to my other creams and soaps to 'kick 'em up a notch'.

This morning I blended some KMF and JMF creams and I absolutely loved the lather they produced. I also blend KMF and NB sometimes and the result is very, very nice!

I'm gonna' be on the lookout for a good source for the J.M. Frasers, since it is apparently a Candian cream. Any pointers?

This is the only place that I know of that carries it:

http://www.thebeautyfactory.com/barber.htm

I've made a few purchases from them... keep in mind though, you'll probably want to purchase multiple items to off-set the high shipping costs.

I've simply sent them an email listing what I wanted to purchase and then given them my phone number. A few days later I receive a call confirming the order and I give them my CC # and address.

[qaswer]

Joe, actually, C&E puts out damn nice shave creams. The problem is, they're so expensive for the most part.

Jeff
I am agreed . The only bad thing is , those are very costly and i can't afford other wise those are very lovely and effective .

[jramire2]

C&E creams are actually cheaper on a "per ounce" basis if you buy their tubes. For $30 you can get 7 ounces of cream. Still high, but it's not much more than if you bought Taylors in the tubes. $4.28/ounce Vs $4.20 for Taylors tubes.
And way less than T&H tubes at $7.20/ounce in the tubes.

[crackstar]

I have some Chillout from Olivia, which was sent to me as a trade off for Proraso and Florena. First of all, it's really a soap, but it lathers more like a cream, and I find the scent delightful. When I finish it, I'd love to get some more of it. As is the case with every Olivia product I've had, the shaves it gives, along with the post shave skincare are marvellous, and the skin feels smooth, soft, and irritation and razor burn free.

[Depilator]

Always enjoy being the contrarian and try to buy domestic. Found two American creams which I now go to more often than my favorite Brits.

1. SCS Bay Rum/twist and Oakmoss/lavendula
2. Nancy Boy
3. Trumper coconut
4. Taylor avocado
5. AOS lavender

BTW, if anyone has plans for a group buy on Fraser's, I would be very interested.

Why yes I have :drool . I use soaps, including several of Colleen's, probably 5 days a week. Sometimes on the weekends I'll do a luxurious shave with a cream and Colleen's Lavender de Provence is among my favorites.

PS. Her bath soaps are excellent as well.

[commah]

Let's not forget Nancy Boy "signature" shave cream, and the following:

1- T&H 1805
2- Trumpers Almond (now THAT'S an almond scent)
3- Toms of Maine Mint
4- TOBS Avocado
5- AOS Sandalwood

[mercV12]

My top three:

1. Tabula Rasa
2. De Vergulde Hand
3. The Body Shop Shave Cream is great and has a lovely scent that lasts all day

[herzi]

One of the best for me are Olivias creams.
Others not mentioned here but very good creams are:

-LEA from spain (regular and menthol)
-KARO from Bulgaria (Classic , New Caro, ...)
-Viking from Bulgaria
-ARGO Neo from Bulgaria

These creams don't cost much but can a lot.If you have the chance to get one of them you should.

[DavidSeattleWA]

Yeah, but how do we know all those aren't from a tub of Cool Whip? Or worse - Foamy?! :rolleyes:

One of my LEAST favorite shaving cream scents is Almond. However, I DO have a tub of C&E that really is very good in the performance department...probably one of my best in fact. Guess I'll have to try another C&E scent and hope it works as well as the Almond does.

Interesting. I tried some C&E Almond a while back and, to me, it smelled nothing like almond in the slightest. It was pleasant enough ... to me it had more of a floral scent than anything else. Not bad, just doesn't smell anything like almond :confused:

[bandit]

i like C&E and Easy Shave. nice scents. there's this sahving cream i used before which was given to me. it was made in france. i forgot the name. :confused:

[The Chebb]

So far the best I've tried:
Nancy Boy Signature Scent
TOBS St. James
TOBS Sandalwood
SCS Bay Rum with a Twist
with more yet to be added I'm sure!

[bandit]

other than my favorite Kiss My Face and Proraso creams, i found another favorite. it's called Pain Free Easy Shave. really worked out against my ingrown hairs and shave bumps. this product is really great. :)

Oh man...I have already decided to stick to the system I have right now for 15 shaves or so to get my technique down and get a good feel for everything before I start changing things, then I need to change just one thing at a time so I can recognize the difference...but I keep seeing and reading about all these fantastic PS treatments, creams, soaps, AST, new blades, already ordered samples of a bunch of things....Maybe I need to start shaving twice a day!
