So what shaving creams have you bought lately ?

WOW!

Looking at amazement as some the pics in this thread.

I've only recently started but have:

- Martin De Cadre Soap; and
- Taylor's of Old Bond St Lemon & Lime (my favourite so far). Will try Sandalwood next!

Just ordered a tube of Arko Maximum Comfort. We shall see.

Earlier this year I purchased a few tub's of Al's and a few tubs of QCS. This week I finally sated my appetite for some OCONUS creams by order a bunch of creams from Turkey, Bulgaria and Macedonia.

Art of Shaving - lemon scent. Has been a nice change of pace for the summer.
I've used their Sandalwood and unscented before (liked both). Don't like their lavender scent - just don't.

Also got a Truefitt and Hill sampler pack recently that I've been messing around with, and have a tube of the new formula Proraso on its way - cannot wait to try it.

Just received the cream in the mail. The smell reminds me of lemon Pledge. I hand lathered some tonight and it lathers up like the stick.

Ok, so I tried the Arko cream today before Going to work and it worked good. I used a dime sized amount and I had more than enough for 2 passes. I would say it was worth the 5$ I paid for it.

The trick for getting this one to work for me was to face-lather it. I smear a decent glob on both cheeks and one under my chin, then work it with a wet brush. Trying to lather it in a bowl has resulted in multiple failures and bad shaves for some reason.

OT:
After over a year's hiatus from buying (due to financial concerns) I just tossed an order to WCS for: Speick, JM Fraser's, and the new Proraso Red, along with a bunch of blades and the Omega AS balm.

I've only got one cream awaiting delivery at the moment, which is TOBS Coconut.

2x Proraso Green Soap (New Formula), Proraso White Soap (New Formula), Cella, Vitos Super Coconut and MWF are in the same package.

I picked up Manatomicals brushless shave cream for the mornings I go to the gym. It's the idiot proof stuff, just make sure your face isn't too wet and it gives a decent lather. It has plenty of slickness but is lacking in the cushion department.
