    Default Whats your favorite almond

    between D.R. Harris, TOBS, Trumpers, and T&H. How did you come to this conclusion?

    I've only tried T&H so far, but I love it. Some of the best shaves I've had came from it. I find that it produces a very protective lather that smells great, although the scent seems to dissipate quickly after the beginning lathering. I was able to sniff TOBS and it smelled fantastic...that'll definitely be my next almond and probably my next cream in general.

    We are all silly when it comes to this hobby. Nevertheless, I really enjoy my Trumpers Almond.

    TOBS. Bang for yer buck.

    Also I prefer a slightly sweeter almond scent which the TOBS has.

    I haven't smelled the others, but the Trumper's ALmond is pretty tasty smelling! Makes me want to eat it.

    +1. Although Trumpers is a very close second for me.

    I don't really care for the sweet almond scents. My favorite almonds are Cella and TGQ Toasted Almond. Both are soaps rather than creams though.

    Eh, Cella is borderline. I consider it both a cream and a soap so I can discuss it in both forums. But I agree. I like the drier almond scents better.

    TOBS Almond: the scent and quality of shave are excellent.

    I haven't tried D.R. Harris, but between T&H, TOBS, and Trumpers I prefer Trumpers(or at least that is what I bought a full size of after getting samples of all of them).

    I used a sample I received from Trumpers last night. Loved the scent, but it did dissipate quickly for me.

    Have only tried two almonds and TOBS was my favorite.
