Some are good. The fabulous Castle Forbes "cream" is really a croap, just a bit softer than, say, Stirling, while the St James of London creams are really excellent at a price that's very easy on the pocket.

The magic pudding LPL …
Nice razor too!
Note pin prick where bottom of tin is showing through and it is very translucent?
Hoping to have a doughnut by end of week and the aftershave only has a couple of splashes left in it

Well done!!!
You already have a doughnut.
Hole in round object = torus or doughnut. All you're doing from now on is making the hole bigger. Give it a year or so... 
So your razor comparison shows that LPL wins?
