Both Trumper and T&H creams are excellent performers. Alvarez Gomez Agua De Colonia Barberia cream is superb and smells fantastic. Executive Shaving creams are also excellent. There's then a number of lower cost options that also perform well:
Nivea Men Original
Speick
LEA
La Toja
Creightons
Body Shop Maca Root (I know, I know)
Palmolive

Subjective - what's the true difference between good soaps or creams? Very marginal. You can have an enjoyable shave from the items above as you can a top-tier US artisan soap.

another few I would add and I am not sure if qualifies as cream as it is described as paste.
Meißner Tremonia. they also make a soap which I have no experience of.
Noberu again is either soft soap or firm cream
Extra - I haven't tried them all but the couple I have tried were good.

A couple of more for the list, Omega and Musgo Real. Almost forgot Proraso.
I really don't generally use the term best in regards to shaving items as it is subjective opinion. All I will say is that most shave creams and soaps that I have tried will allow me a close and comfortable shave. There have been the odd exceptions though as there are with anything. The only real difference between shaving creams and shaving soaps for me is that shaving creams are generally easier for a beginner to produce a good lather with.

The new Cella Bio cream is very good as is Executive Shaving’s own brand. Also St. James of London & Simpson’s Creams.

I'm going to put in a word for our "local". The Executive Shaving Creams are top-notch. The same consistency as T&H 1805. Musgo Real creams are also hard to beat.

Thumbs up for all the creams I must try Creightons as well.
LEA Mentolada is ice slick with a very dense lather. A winner for me. The smell is fantastic.

I know it's not the best, but Proraso Single Blade performs really nice.
I must get an Azur Lime 275gr tube.
Also Vitos Classica with hydrogenated tallow performs like a champ. Highly quality cream.

Hi @RandySp. How does the Lea Menthol stack up against the Palmolive Menthol George?

More powerful man. Less than Ingram though. A better performance for my tastes.

How does the single blade Proraso cream compare to the regular green/red/blue/white Proraso? Do you think there is a big difference? I am curious to try it.
