[B]IMO, Truefit and Hill, hands down. I have four different scents and each one lathers well, and has a light scent My stri8t glides through the lather without causing razor burn or other irritation ending in a BBS shave. Two passes normally do me well. Afterward, I apply a corresponding scented Truefit n' Hill aftershave balm.

Cyril R. Salter, which is not listed as a choice... sigh.
I like their Almond, but I love their French Vetiver! (and I have it on good authority that their Sandalwood is not-to-be-missed)
Just this past week, I tried a large sample of TOBS Shaving Shop (hat-tip to Dr. Mike), and it was luxurious!
Smooth shaving!!

You have a good list to start, but many are omitted. Here are some additional creams of note: J.M. Fraser's, Coates, Omega, Musgo Real, Valobra, 1001 (Tabula Rasa), Arko, Derby, Olivia's, WARS, Lider, La Toja, Classic, and many others.
My current favorites are Fraser's & Valobra.
J.M. Fraser's followed by The Body Shop bay rum home brew.

I'd have to go with T&H as well. Consistently the best for me. I'd add C&E sao, CB and NB as well.

Musgo would get my vote, with both T&H and Salter very close seconds.

Proraso, both Red and Green; and I would have voted for Cyril Salters, and Wars if I could have.

Mama bear doesn't make creams... does she? I thought it was only soaps. Trumper's rocks though.

I like a more than a few creams but SCS would be at the top of my list. They are more than worth the effort it takes to build the lather, IMHO.

I guess because of a technicality, my favorite isn't listed - Hydrolast shaving paste. Fair enough, paste is not cream.
I do really like the fresh salad scent of Nancy Boy's cucumber shaving cream. And the blade slides very smoothly with it.

TOBS and Trumpers are very good, but Proraso is my favorite (so far)

By the looks of it , no. There would be many more "yes" votes if more have tried it. I can safely say that I've tired all on the list except SCS creams.

I voted for the Proraso but I would have voted for JM Fraser's if it had been on the list.
