what are must haves

For soap, my favorite so far is Tiki Bar Spice Islands. For cream, I like Proraso Blue.
Honorable mentions go to MWF, Proraso Green Tub, RR Classic croap, and Nivea Sensitive cream.

Creams: Proraso Blue, La Toja, Speick, TOBS, Coate's (not made now but available), Palmolive Menthol (Italian version).

My three: Speick, Proraso Green, La Toja.

for more expensive:
Barrister & Mann - soap
Catie's Bubbles - soap/cream
Al's Shaving Products -soap/cream
Seifenglatt - soap
Santa Maria Novella -soap
Hudson Made - soap

for less expensive:
Maggard's -soap
Soap Commander - soap
Petal Pushers -soap

All of the Proraso soaps and creams for me...I just absolutely love the entire line but now lean towards the Green and Red cream

TOBS Sandalwood

I tried out the Tobs sandalwood today, lather and slickness was great the scent to me wasn't not that it wasn't strong but I didn't get a sandalwood scent from it for me it smelled more like just classic soap

My vote would be:

NYSC Tonsorial
GFT Coconut
Proraso Green
DRHarris Lavender
ADP

More than five, but my must haves

Soaps: Tabac Stick, Palmolive Stick, Valobra Brick
Croaps: QCS Tub, Panna Crema
Creams: Palmolive Classic, Coates, Maca Root, Tabac I'm in the minority on this one, dense & yogurty, not fluffy lather
