Thread: What Cream Should I Buy Next?

I've tried Truefitt and Hill Trafalgar, TOBS Eton College, Speick, Musgo Real, Body Shop Macca Root and am getting La Toja (sensitive skin) shortly. I've used Proraso soap and Windsor soap. I like all of these, well, maybe not so much the Windsor.
I value glide, cushion and SCENT. I'd like a scent that is different and lingers (I only have one AS; Trafalgar, so would like a cream that has a lasting scent of its own...
Budget is about 20-30. It's hard to get creams and soaps in Aust, so I'm limited to online suppliers that post to Aust. Any suggestions will be appreciated. I'm considering Tabac, Martin de Candre, Osma, maybe TF 1805...It's Spring here in SA so a scent suitable for Spring would be nice. I work a 'suit and tie' (sans tie; they're stupid) job, so would like a scent suitable for Mon - Fri (I think some scents are better for the working week than weekend relaxing, etc). Any ideas?

Acca Kappa?? EJ Sea Buckhorn is fantastic!

While not a top shelf cream based on cost, I absolutely adore the Palmolive cream. The scent isn't bad and it will linger for a few hours but will be noticeable by you alone. It has amazing cushion & glide. It should also run you $3-4 at your local chemist/drug store/whatever you call such things down under.

Get some Castle Forbes.

+1

the palmolive punches way above it's weight and everyone owes it to themselves to try it for the sake of very little money compared to the other creams out there i have all sorts of posh soaps and creams and i rate the palmolive with the best of them. If you can get the hold of the palmolive sensitive with aloe vera, it's maybe even a little better. Just managed to get some posted over by a friend in europe, great if you have sensitive skin.

Another great inexpensive cream to try is Godrej. Has a kind of Barbasol/baby powder scent, but has some of the best, richest lathers you will ever find.Has lanolin also so it leaves your skin feeling soft and smooth.

Yeah? Serous? I used to use that before I 'saw the light' and changed from a Bic to a straight. I've always used cream (in a tube) not a can. Palmolive is rather 'mundane' for me...
