Which one should you buy?

Proraso Eucalyptus is the honest everyday answer at a 4.7 star average and a mid-band price. Taylor of Old Bond Street Sandalwood is the headline pick if you want a real brush lather and do not mind that it is the highest-priced of the seven. King of Shaves 2 in 1 No Foam is the lowest-priced pick and the easiest way off pressurised foam.
