I've not tried Spitfire, will have to look out for that one.

You really need to, one of my favourites.

I'm not shocked by this or niether does it put me off.
My brother in-law has worked in a few food factories as a sparky over the years and the big name brands always rebrand their own food for the supermarkets instore value products. The recipes would be the same but they'd use cheaper ingredients.
The same with bicycle companies. Most are made in Asia and all in the same factories. Some brands buy frames that didnt pass the big brands quality inspection and rebrand them.
In a long winded way, Im just saying I'm not fussed if a company makes multiple brands.

If you want to try Creightons for a song: 'Groomed' shaving cream for just over a pound at Lidl (BOGOF even, maybe?) is made by them.

I emptied the shelves at our nearest Lidl, amazing stuff for the price, didn't realise it was Creightons.

Check the back of the tube. Bottom left, just beneath 'Made in England'...

P.S. @Redd - I got the film reference in the title just in case, old bean....

If you can't get Groomed! then Real Shaving Co creams cost about the same and come from the same manufacturer. RSC can be picked up in Body Care shops.

Spitfire is brewed in Kent though ,not a Burton brew.

Also in Savers drugstore for the princely sum of £1.20

Yeah, I'm nothing if not unoriginal I'm afraid.

True, but'll drink it anyway

Creighton's no longer make RSC either, they sold the company to Swallowfield.

The classic range seems to have been axed, not sure if they still offer a classic lather cream.

Maybe I should have changed to thread title to 'whatever happened to Creightons??'

Its quite conceivable that they've sold the brand but still manufacture it under contract

Swallowfield are also a toiletries maker: http://www.swallowfield.com/services/manufacturing/

However Creightons still make T&H & St. James of London. However it looks like they no longer offer a budget lather cream.
