Trueffit and Hill discontinued Rose and Lavender creams and bring back ALMOND instead. While I was getting my annual haircut there I wanted to buy some and they told me non left:/ so I took samples they had left for rose and ;lavender!

My 'latest' favourites: Tabac soap and Harris Arlington cream. I've been using both sparingly for a long time and have started to use them more often lately.

Re: Your favourite NON Artisan soap/cream
First of all, I only use soaps. I have never really liked creams.
Next, I'm very sensitive to fragrances, so that rules out a lot of soaps. I tolerate some lightly fragranced soaps (like the Valobra Shave Stick, Mitchell's Wool Fat, and not much else), but I mainly look for unscented soaps and those scented with EO. Artisan soaps have generally fit these requirements better than commercial soaps.
My favorite commercial shaving soap is Valobra hard soap, in the form of the Valobra Shave Stick, the new unscented Valobra soap in a cake, or the old tallow-based, Valobra-made AoS soaps. This soap in these forms just lathers easily and provides the needed glide.

Re: Your favourite NON Artisan soap/cream
My current favorites:
Soap: Cella and Mitchell's Woolfat. I could happily use just these two forever.
Cream: Art of Shaving and Coate's tubes - sandalwood mostly, but in the Coate's I also have lavender and lime. If T&H and Coate's were still around in tubs I would use them.
