    Recieved a tub from my daughter as part of my Christmas. The scent was nice and pleasant. Was able to work a nice creamy lather but the nice surprise was the slickness. Super slick! I had a very nice comfortable 3-pass shave, using my new Stirling finest badger brush, Merkur 34C with a Gillette 7 O'Clock yellow on it's 4th shave. The post shave feel is great! It was a DFS! This may be a keeper!

    Have not seen the Sandalwood around here but the Original irritates me slightly. Menthol for me.

    She found it at Target here in Jonesboro. I can't tell you how surprised I was with the performance of this shave cream. This shave was almost as good as some of my better soaps.

    I tried this cream a while back and could not get it to lather to save my life. Bummer because I like their brush-less cream for travel.

    I did a bowl lather. I did feel the need to use more product and more water than I normally do with my soaps and the lather didn't seem quite as dense.

    I also had trouble getting this cream to lather the first time I used it. However, I tried a second time and bowl-lathered, and created a very creamy, slick lather. Like you I used just a bit more product, a bit more water, and a bit more patience.

    Ive got a tub of the Cremo and I find that you need to use a lot more product than youre used to because its so creamy. Unless you really shake a lot of water out of your brush, its going to be way too wet.

    I have a tub of this, and find that it provides a very acceptable lather. The scent is nice.

    Cremo reformulated it to improve the lather. You can look on Google to see if you have the new formula.

    I suppose I will have to take a trip to Target, (I feel like I died a bit inside typing that word) to try the Cremo.
    SWMBO did get me a cremo horse hair brush from Target, and I like it quite a bit, so the cream should be good as well.

    Do they have it in a tub, or is just in a tube?

    My experience with it as well. I discarded my first result bowl lathering. got it second try and really enjoyed the during and after feel. I like the scent...not super strong or anything but very comfortable and pleasant. if I ever needed any id rebuy. I think ill try a Barbasol mix next time! 346x0f4[8].jpg
