Seven Potions

What are your initial impressions? As I recall, you are one of those who do like rose scented shaving products.

 

I may have to revisit it. I definitely didn't get 'slick' from it. Everything else about it was okay, save for the scent, but that's a personal thing.

 

I'm convinced that falls into the 'operater error' category.

 

There's always going to be a few contrarians for every product or method. It can't be helped.

Some products really are terrible. Herban Cowboy and Burt's Bees shave soap come to mind. So legendarily bad I still remember the discussions about them, and as far I know, they've been discontinued for 15+ years or more.

I still can't get a decent lather from Trumper's shave soap, and I'm on my second puck of that. I thought maybe it was a technique issue the first time around, and five years experience would make a difference. (It didn't, but adding Kiss my Face Unscented did).
(Edit: Trumper's (vegan) shave soap, unlike their shave cream, really does have a lousy reputation. The long discontinued tallow shave soap had a good one.)

 

Trumper's vegan shave soap is pretty universally reviled, so I'm not alone in that. (Unlike their long discontinued tallow shave soap).

 

MWF. "Original 1893 Formula."
The fact that it contains ingredients not invented until the 1920's, is, no doubt, just a reflection of how much less advanced the rest of the world is, compared to the technologically advanced Yorkshire dales. A real life Marvel Universe Wakanda, it is.

James Herriot's country vet tales are carefully crafted lies, obviously intent on hiding this highly advanced civilization in plain sight.

Edit: Having read recipes for shaving soaps and creams from the mid-1800's, I suspect that modern formulations are generally an improvement.

 

Should I take it from that response that you largely share my, ah, somewhat mixed opinions on this shave cream?

I'm still waiting for an actual review from someone other than me. Especially since my review was somewhat lukewarm.
