    I saw this at the local Walmart and thought, "Why not"? Purchased it and used it all last week, except for Williams Wednesday, and felt I should share my feelings about it. I'm going to use Yehuda D's format cuz it's a good one.

    Ease of lathering - 10/10, it just explodes into a nice creamy lather. The instructions say use hands or brush. I
    found using the brush rewarding, easy and got a great lather from it

    Longevity of lather - 10/10, lathered and left it on my face to see how long it would last and it was a
    lllooonnnggg time. More than enough time to lather up, walk around the house and then
    get to your shave

    General Skincare - 9/10, plenty of cushion and glide and left my face feeling soft, supple and well cared for

    Scent - 5/10, very mild but pleasant. So mild to my old nose that I'm not sure what it's supposed to be. That's
    not the most important thing to me though, performance is and it delivers in that

    Price - under $6.00 at my local Walmart

    Buy again? - Yes indeed but won't be for awhile since the container is 6 ounces and will take a long time to use
    up

    There ya go folks. Just remember that in shaving, it's a YMMV thing. I like this cream and feel that Gillette got this one right.

    Saw this the other day too. Thought about it...but I'm sworn off buying anything new from Gillette for the foreseeable future.

    I have tried it a few times, smells clean, but new. Not an overbearing cheap clean either, it's different.

    Very slick and soothing. Felt very protected and it was maybe a step above my Proraso cream. I am usually an artisan soap guy(Stirling, Mikes, B&M)but this stuff rocks.

    I could not feel the menthol though, too light.

    It recommends using hands or brush, my synthetic made a thick lather as easy as anything else.

    My face felt really great afterwards too. Top notch stuff. This will be a permanent addition to the Den.

    Sounds like it may be worth looking into.

    Another fantastic shave. This stuff can hang with my Stirling and proraso. Creamy, slick and protective. Still had a ton left over after the shave once I squeezed the brush out.

    Darn enablers. I had no problem with their advertisement so I’m going to pick up a tube.

    Update. I won’t shop at Walmart and apparently no stores near me carry it so I’ll just have to wait.

    I couldn’t find it on the Wal-Mart website. Strange.

    Thanks. I love the look of the handle. I’ve seen it get some love on the forums.
