I have experience with neither, but Corey over at Shaveblog is extremely excited about G.R.

Karl, Yes he is...about the A/S product. Not so much vis a vis the shave cream. Chris F. has, of course, used them both quite a bit. Perhaps he'll chime in.
Regards,

Frederick, Many agree here that TGR a/s is excellent. I will throw my two scents in for the Shaving Gallery cream as well. More like a traditional English produced cream (which it is) but with a 'healthier' indredient list more in the lines of TGR. I think a lot of these new firms are on an anti paraben crusade these days. Not a bad thing I guess. A neat light citrus scent-lime, grapefruit being just a couple of the ingredients on the list.
