I have to agree that the AOS is vastly better than I ever expected it to be, the mother in law bought me the sandalwood and the lavender.... However Castle Forbes is still the best I have ever tried, scent is always a personal issue so leave that out, the CF outperforms the rest for Cushion, Lather, and Glide, it is worth the difference... The only bad thing I can think of about it is that you will be always comparing everything else to it from the moment that you get some..... and nothing really can compare, that I have found,,,, YET..... I forgot to add IMHO
