Crabtree & Evelyn advise

I had their sandalwood soap and still have their west Indian limes edt. I really like them both. Nothing bad to say. I did sell the soap off as it was a duplicate Sandalwood and I love my AOS Sandalwood old formula cream.
I also have their travel brush which I really don't like at all. It is wayyyyy to floppy for me.
 
I have used the sandlewood soap and the lime cream. Both did not perform well for me, I do like all the the scents though
 
I'm a big fan of their aftershave balms, but haven't had much luck with their soaps. They just don't produce wonderful lather for me, so there are plenty of other soaps I prefer to spend my money on.
 
Use C&E Sandalwood this morning.
Good lather, milder scent then some other sandalwoods.
Overall good to work with...

Used to have fun with Commander Yellow Pantyhose
Last time I was in, I spoke with the clerk and she packed some samples of their creams for me. I'd recommend asking for samples so you can try them yourself and decide if you like them.
 
Update: Well I walked in to C & E and found that all of the scents were not what I'm really into. They did have (1) Best Badger and Ivory left, so I purchased that and a tube key. So I happen to walk by a store called L'Occitane and found some cream and aftershave that I really liked. After that I walked next door to AOS and purchased a $6 brush stand for the new brush.

Thanks a bunch for everyone's input about the C & E soaps and creams, rolled the dice on L'Occitane and think it will work out pretty good...

 
Glad you got stuff you like. The new formula Cade cream in the jar has gotten pretty positive reviews so far. Although I haven't tried it myself, it is supposed to be a definite improvement over the older formula in the tube. The balm is very good, too. Looks like a nice setup overall. Congrats.
 
I have and frequently use the west indian lime.

It is not a champion latherer. But so what? It smells great and it helps keep my face from getting irritated when I shave... it just doesn't make as pretty a picture to put on the internet when you lather it up. My girlfriend loves the scent, and it's one of the few product lines where you can get soap, shampoo, shaving cream, aftershave balm, and cologne in the same scent.
