Recommendations for a Lime shaving cream

Hi All

I have Trumpers Lime shaving cream and it is fantastic stuff but I would like to add some more Lime to my shaving cream collection so am after recommendations.
I like quite sharp Lime scents (as an example Eau Sauvage is one of my favourite scents, I know it is lemon and not lime but the sharpness of this will give an idea of the kind of sharpness of scent I like) and am after pretty much straight up lime as opposed to lime mixed with other things (like for example MR Lime Basil).
The creams easily available to me are t&h, cf,vulfix and cyril salter. Thanks

For a very sharp Lime scent fragranced with Lime Essential Oil look no further than the mighty Castle Forbes Lime.

What about TOBS Lime and Lemon? I think it's lovely, more than a lime pastry instead of citrusy zest.

Thanks for the suggestions, have considered the tobs lemon and lime but have seen mixed reviews of it, maybe I should order a sample of it

I don't have any yet but I keep reading good things about Cyril Salter (I do have one of their badger brushes which I like) and the price is very competitive, at least in the US. I recently bought some Castle Forbes Lime and it smells wonderful. Although I have yet to try it, I have some high hopes.

I have limited experience with creams, But I've tried TOBS Sandalwood & CF Lime, Rose, And Cedar/Sandalwood. TOBS Sandalwood has a awesome scent and gives good results, but the CF are simply better performing creams. If you want Lime I'd try CF, you can get samples from Maggards.

I am most familiar with CF and T&H limes, both excellent. CF is a little sharper and T&H is a little sweeter. Accompanying balms also excellent. Cannot go wrong either way, so get both!

You can get the Castle Forbes, or something not quite as good.

GFT Lime is an excellent cream; recently used for a week while on vacation and really enjoyed it along with CC lime aftershave and C&E lime balm.

I fancy GFT Limes, but T&H, Castle Forbes and Crabtree & Evelyn are top notch performers and pleasing to the nose.

If you can find it, Godrej Lime shave cream is superb. Coates made a very nice lime cream also.

Also... If you're looking for a bit of a twist on lime fragrance, I would highly recommend Musgo Real Lime Basil cream (and the entire line of products).... It's one of my favourites in my collection, though not a dedicated lime if that's only what you're looking for.

Each to their own really. I personally prefer others offered out there.

An economical but nice cream is Lider Lime from Poland.Potent scent,rich thick lather.

Godrej makes one, very nice scent. I also like Coates lime.

Someone mentioned TOBS Lemon & Lime, and I would happily recommend it as well. So far it's the only lemon/lime scent I've tried, so not much to compare it to, but I love it. Quite refreshing to use on a warm spring/summer day.

Occam's Crushed Limes!

I have been using vulfix sicilian lime. It's very creamy and soft. Smells great but I am going through it very quickly.

I wouldn't necessarily get it again but I would try other citrus creams.

I have only used the Lavander from CF but if their Lime is as good, its world class !
