In order of sampling.
1st. Liz Earle shave cream was my first, was already using it before DE. Like it and don't think I've found better yet. £11.50
2nd up for test was Boots own soap in bowl. Thumbs up. Wouldn't buy again though as price is comparable to some more premium products which I have found to be superior. ~£3 (almost always on 3 for 2)
3rd Palmolive stick. Can't get on with it. Haven't tried grating it yet though... 50p
4th Truefitt and Hill No 10 cream. Very nice, great scent, easy lather. Contender for top spot. £3.50-£8.00 @ Creightons, Sainsbo's, nkdman.
5th Palmolive Cream. Spot on, similar to T&H with a different, much milder, scent. £1.80 Tesco.
6th Proraso Green. Great menthol kick. Bit weak on the third pass, no matter what brush, no matter what soak or pre-shave loading. £5.50 nkdman.
7th Lea Shave Stick. PIF (unknown price). To be reviewed...
8th Ingrams. £1.75 Superdrug. To be reviewed...
9th Mitchell's Wool Fat. £16.19 Carbolic soap, price matched nkdman. To be reviewed...
10th St James of London Cedarwood and Clarysage. £3.50 Creightons. To be reviewed...
11th Real Shaving Company Menthol. £1 Creightons. To be reviewed...
12th Boots shave cream. £1.50. To be reviewed...
Of the 6 soaps/creams I've tried. Best performance: Liz Earle.
Best value: Palmolive cream.
Best pound for pound and overall winner thus far: T&H at £3.50 a throw from Creightons. My recommendation for new starters.
