    So this is not a review, because well I dont have a clue how to review a shaving cream.

    I am just showing Melt Sweet Rain Shaving Butter. http://www.meltproducts.com/Our-Famous-Shaving-Butter-s/105.htm

    The scent is very very light floral. My nose is not good enough to describe the scent exactly. But the scent is very clean. They also offer the Butter in Orange, Maharani Mist(strong floral scent) and Thor ( peppermint and menthol). The Butter has Shea butter, aloe, and apricot kernel oil in it.

    I will show pictures of the Butter then some AOS Sandlewood just to compare since everyone whips a lather different. They were both very slick, to be honest i cant tell the difference.

    With both I soaked the brush and bowl in pipping hot water, shook the brush three times and then squeezed it. Then while whipping the lather I put about 1/2 a teaspoon of water in.

    Here are the pictures, sorry for them being so bad, but I lost my camera cable so you get the webcam.

    The melt lather looks pretty weak next to the AOS.

    The melt produced more lather then the AOS.

    Hmm. It was easier to tell when I blew up the pictures. Anyway, interesting (new?) product. The Thor sounds kinda nice.

    Thor was actually my first shaving cream when I came to wet shaving. But since the HS gf I can no longer use it, memories, ya know.

    Thor, hmmm when you lather it up does lightning strike the house again and again? Do you feel the urge to speak like Shakespeare with a whole bunch of "thous" and "verily" thrown in every sentence? Don't know what to do with the blonde tresses streaming out of your winged helmet? Wanna kick some storm giant butt and drink mead with Balder and the warriors 3 and chase Sif around the table? Big war hammer keeps knocking over your shave kit and sink?

    I'm sorry, just reading some old Marvel Thor comics and I couldn't pass it up, verily forsooth I say. :D
