I wanted to get everyone else's opinion on this. I have really sensitive skin, and recently purchased a tube of C&E Sandalwood cream. First, I didn't follow the sage advice on this forum and stick with the same cream (Proraso) I've been using for the past week (I have this bad habit of wanting to play with my new toys). Anyway, aside from a few lather problems (different creams take different water ratios.....I learned the hard way), I noticed that my skin didn't react that well to the cream (a bit of stinging...not bad, but noticeable....and no irritation afterwards).
I haven't experienced this at all with Proraso (C.O. Bigelow), but I guess this could be due to the menthol and a little bit of cooling/numbness. However, I wanted to get everyone else's opinions on a hypoallergenic, sensitive, or unscented cream (from any vendor) that works well for those with skin that reacts to every little chemical (like mine). I welcome all opinions, and appreciate the advice.

Anyway, Salter Mint, Speick, and JM Fraser's all work very well for me. All three are mildly scented, and provide great shaves and skincare, for me. Almost forgot Trumper Coconut, which is also very good, but more $$ too.
