I consider myself a diehard soap user, but there are three creams that I just can't shake from my rotation based on their intoxicating scents and stellar performance...
AOS Sandalwood
Proraso Sandalwood
Acca Kappa 1869 pot
Spencer & Devon Sagebrush
CO Bigelow (or Proraso)
QCS Hamani
The S & D Sagebrush has outstanding cushioning, slickness, and longevity. The slightly woodsy smell is a great fall and winter cream
COB for summer - 'nuff said
QCS Hamani is a great spring scent and all the QCS creams work great. Honorable mention goes to QCS Calypso for a Bay Rum cream.
Those are my longtime two favorites. My current number three is
TOBS sandalwood - it doesn't smell like sandal wood but I like the scent and it lathers well
