Favorite citrus creams?

The thread starter said citrus. I said lemon cream croaps.
Start your own thread then.
No, you can comment on what you want. All threads stray off once in a while.

croaps are creams, just not as wet, in my book.

Keeping in mind that I use a synthetic brush, I saturate my brush. I sometimes put some water on top of my croap when I first get it and let it sit while I shower. Anyway, I shake my brush 3 times, not too hard, but just enough to get out excess water. Then, with A&E I pour out any water on the soap, if I did that, and start loading. I'm not gentle about it. After 20 seconds or less, I move to a my hand or face, or a bowl, depending. I build the lather. I like to build it on my face because a bowl can be deceiving.
Expensive but I like Ethos Blood Orange Tallow Creme. If you want cushion, slickness, and post shave it has it.
Lathers best with a synthetic in my opinion.

Derby used to have a lemon-scented shaving cream.
Cyril R Salter 'Sublime Citrus' over at Connaught, very underrated cream that smells and lathers amazing. I suspect 'Essential Lime' should be pretty similar.

So far, my favorite lime is Shannon's Coconut Lime. The problem is it makes my mouth water and I want to eat it.
Creams...
1) Trumper GFT
2) TOBS Lime Zest
3) Derby Lemon (in a tube, and still available)
4) TOBS Royal Forest (Creed Aventus clone, and has some citrus notes)
There are 2 citrus "soaps" that I love, so I must include them
1) Spearhead Shaving Company: Seaforth Sea Spice Lime
2) Stirling Satsuma

This right here, one of the best citrus products hands down. Has to be one of the best values as well….
If you are in the UK, Executive Shaving Company has their own brand that includes "Citrus Kiss" cream. Before my face decided it could no longer tolerate scented soaps, croaps or creams, I enjoyed it a lot.
If you buy enough of their stuff, it reduces the shipping costs per item to the States. I use several of their products... and still love the Claymore Evolution AC razor I bought from Brian Mulreany... I still miss that guy. I hope he is enjoying his retirement.

CF Lime is excellent. Sweet, almost candy like lime scent.
Agreed, great stuff!
I would not have expected to see Trumper's GFT listed here. While it is one of my EdTs of choice (it's rare enough to be unique wherever I go), I wouldn't classify the scent as 'citrus'. Its top notes are that, yes; but not its heart notes, which are tarragon, lavender, and cypress. My wife adores the fragrance too, but I'm wearing it for myself, you understand 
.
Also, Trumper creams are not as good as some of the other brands.
My recommendation would be Cyril R. Salter's 'Sublime Citrus'. The cream is an outstanding performer; and the scent is to die for. It's like having a summer citrus sherbet on your face. Overall you get excellent value for money. Time to stock up, I think, lest some bean counter decides to count beans and deems the product 'incompatible with the company's core values' or some other corporate jargon.

Well. to pile on.... 
TOBS Grapefruit is one of the very best of their scents and a great citrus scent for sure.
