Top three on my den. I hope you enjoyed it.

looking very forward to this

My little cluster of luxury creams — Tabula Rasa, AdP, SMN, and Castle Forbes — is now an irresistible shelf in my shaving collection. Yes, I divert to B&M and Pannacrema. Or wander to Tabac or D.R. Harris. But really, that shelf is constantly calling me these days. Castle Forbes Lavender this morning, for instance, was heavenly.

You have the best of the best onethinline - each of the ones you mention (along with XPEC) are IMO the pinnacle of the creams.

I'm gonna be in Chicago late April–early May, and a visit to Q Brothers is a first priority. I hope to sniff XPEC and Baum.be in person. That visit is going to be dangerous. :-)

David--Do you like these better than pannacrema Nuavia?

I agree 100% and that's why they also have a little corner in my den

Better than? No. Differently than? Yes. Strictly speaking, Nuàvia really is the complete experience in all areas, but the lather feel and experience of any of these creams is different, and sometimes that's what I'm in the mood for. It would be like disavowing a great scotch just because you have a fantastic Pinot Noir available. :-)
