Best Sandalwood Shave Cream?
Best Sandalwood Shave Cream?
I'm doing some research for a sandalwood freak friend of mine for a fitting shave cream. Which shave cream would you say gives the best shave and has the best scent?

Dang, I've tried all the Coates creams but sandalwood. All of them perform marvelously for me. I love Coates lavender and rose. Their almond is a bit light, but nice. Their lime smells too much like candy to me. And I dont' care for tea tree.
Guess I'll have to give Coates sandalwood a try, assuming I can still find some. Anybody have a tube for trade? I have a 2/3 full tube of Trumper Coconut oil that I'll swap for it.
I voted for the Vulfix sandalwood. Not sure if it's a real sandalwood scent -- it actually seems more of a "nutty" fragrance to me -- but it's very enjoyable.

Gents, I used Coates Sandalwood this morning. I had not used it in about 3 months so I thought I would give it another try. It lathered well and felt dense on my skin. Lubrication was not a problem. The scent was faint but good. I used my HD razor with a feather blade and got a good close shave. No nicks or cuts.Austin wrote:Gents, I have coates sandalwood and I don't have the same experiences as the majority here.
Overall, I would rate this cream as above average. I still prefer AOS and C&E over coates though.
I'm putting in my vote for TOBS.

I went for Trumper's. Overall, I find that Sandalwood isn't my cup of tea, but I did enjoy all of the biggies. I found Greenpond and Taylor's the least appealing to me. I would have voted for Castle Forbes if this was a poll for Cedarwood/Sandalwood, but that would have been a very small number of candidates, wouldn't it?
