So far I don't have one - I haven't found a line that delivers the same level of what I'm looking for from each element.

So far, the only decent Lime product I've found is Trumper's Skin Food.
The scent of their Lime cologne dissipates too quickly.
As far as creams, every one I've tried so far (Trumpers, TOBS, Coate's, Godrej) reminds me of furniture polish to some degree. I guess we can blame that on Lemon Pledge. If I had to choose one, it would be Coate's but sadly, they are no more.
I'd like to get my hands on some Old Spice Lime (cream and AS) to see what they're like.

Might want to edit that title so people know what you are talking about. At first glance it seems a mispelling of "Lime"
Try "Product line" or something similar.

I truly do not have a favorite line from beginning to end, so to speak, apart from SCS. I would vouch for every element of what SCS puts out.
I guess I could say I like T&H, but only Grafton, because their shave creams are excellent, and I love Grafton as a frag.
I guess what is holding me up is, except for SCS, I generally do different things for the ASB part, such as alum bar, bay rum (say, Superior 70, Dominica, Pinauds or Ogellala), witch hazel (any number of brands or no brand in particular), and Nivea unscented lotion for oily skin or maybe Cornhuskers or something else more or less unscented. Or maybe Trumpers skin food or Lucky Tiger vanishing cream. (Surpised that LT does not come up more often.) I am not really buying ASB for the scent and there is usually as good or better a product at a lower price point that something made by the scent maker.
I do not usually try to match creams and edts either. But I have to say that for some reason some houses make both a heck of a soap or cream and a heck of an edt.
Sorry to ramble, but as I think about it, I am really liking Ogallala's shaving soap lately and I have always liked their bay rum, which would be in the ASB category, I guess. SO there I guess might use soap and ASB from the same line. But I generally do not use Ogallala as an edt. I get fairly low tenacity from any bay rum, for one thing. For another, I love the smell of bay rum, but not so much as the scent I would wear all day long!
