Oops...I forgot about Tabula Rasa...I love the Dark Lavender as well as the Tangerine Vetiver. Let's call it a top ten.

I have not had the pleasure of trying this one. I may have to keep an eye on the B/S/T just in case.

Dang, I don't even have eight shaving creams. I guess you could say I'm a soap guy.

Godrej

Edwin Jagger Sea Buckthorn

Castle Forbes Lavender

I am a soap guy too but have amassed quite the collection of creams as well. Occupational hazard!

Being a soap guy too Im surprised how many I like....

You've got to try them in case some one asks you about them. We all have our burdens to bear

Exactly...strictly for research.

5. GFT Limes
6. GFT

Sorry, I don't have eight.

I agree with you 100%. I posted 8 choices as they came to my mind, but believe me, there are others as well which I could have mentioned.
