Current Gear:
Razor- Merkur 180, Parker 90r
Blade - Gillette 7am
Lather bowl - Van Der Hagan
Brush - Van Der Hagan Boar Hair
Cream - TOBS Eton College, Rose, Lavender, and still finishing off my TOBS samples

Only tried the St. Jermyn...and I'm hooked. I've nosed a few others and loved 'em, but the St. Jermyn is by far the best. The essence of what I imagine an old world scent to be.

Have sandalwood, rose and almond. Like their scent in that order; all provide great shaves.

I have Jermyn St and Almond. I like them in that order. Shaving Shop is the one I think I am most curious about. Jermyn street has a nice herby scent to me. I am trying to find the Taylors aftershave balm that goes with it. I am guessing its the Herbal, but haven't picked it up yet to know.

The almond... it's hit or miss for me. I enjoy it once in awhile, but it might be up on the chopping block and end up in the BST soon.

1. Mr taylors
2. St James
3. Avocad
4. Barbershop

1. St James

Sorry, a little quick on the draw the first time.

1. St. James
2. St. Jermyn
3. Shaving Shop
4. Mr. Taylor's
5. Rose
6. Lemon Lime
7. Almond
8. Lavender
9. Sandalwood

Purely based on scent:

1) Jermyn St.
2) Rose
3) St. James

The only one I have a full tub of Avocado. I'll buy a tub of Jermyn St. soon enough.

St. James

everything else

Mr. Taylor
Sandalwood
Eton
Lavender
Rose
Shave Shop

I don't enjoy Jermyn or St. James for some reason. I Haven't tried the others.

I've tried all of them, and none are bad.

Top three would be

3. Lemon & Lime; dead heat with Rose
2. St James
1. Eaton College

I notice that the Lemon and Lime doesn't get written up much, but it is one of those things that "grows on you." Certainly shaves brilliantly; I find I need a little more of it for each application than the others, so there might be a very minor additional cost factor there!

Mr Taylor
Rose
Sandalwood

That are the only three I have large tubs of (Mr Taylor also as a tube for my travel kit) - but I have used all of them, the whole lot came in a complete sampler from Shaving Essentials, and are about an half ounce cream, good for at least 8-10 shaves each.

I've tried them all.

1) St. James
2) Eton College

Beyond that, nothing remarkable to me. Avocado gets honorable mention for performance, though.

This ranking is based on the ones I have tried or smelled:

1) Shaving Shop
2) Sandalwood
3) Mr. Taylor's
4) Jermyn St
5) Lavender
6) Avocado

Of the ones I've tried:

8.) Lavender
