Has any one bought a good quality unscented shaving cream and the added their own scent or EO's as there are lots of weird and wonderful smells available from retailers. Any recommendations and/or past endeavours appreciated.

You could try rebatching like home soapers sometims to, but it's a lot of work for probably a well below par result. Shaving creams should work, if you can find an unscented one - you could just stir in a fragrance oil; get your scents at a respectable soap ingredients supplier, like Sensory Perfection...

The trick is to not go overboard and put too much fragrance in the cream, in which case the lathering performance can be affected. Yeah, easy does it for best results. The AOS shaving creams in general are nice products, with the lemon flavor being in my regular rotation.
At one time I had a bunch of assorted EOs, which can be a kick. You like bay rum? Get yourself some Pimenta Racemosa EO and have a blast.
Kind of a fun change of pace sniffing a favorite scent during the shave.
