Proraso and Tabac immediately come to mind.
Tabac is very nice, but I don't think you can get more old school than Proraso.
Williams is more old school than Proraso by about 100 years
But the OP asked about "Old School soaps and creams that everyone SHOULD try. That takes Williams out of the running no matter how old it is!!
Haha!
What got me thinking about this was I picked up some Tabac and Musgo(for May) and love the scent/performance of both and was thinking it would be fun to try some of the old creams/soaps that have with stood the test of time.

Proraso, as pointed out by many others, surely belongs to the so called "old school", which means tradition, professional quality and trusted performance.
In addition to the Italian Proraso I want to mention Musgo Real, an excellent, classical Portuguese shaving cream.
Musgo Real, also known as "Creme Para Barbear, has been around since the 1920s and has always been very popular with old-school wetshavers.
Both Proraso and Musgo are two of the most traditional brands on the market and a milestone in the art of wetshaving.
