    It works very well, at least for me. YMMV.
    It has a pleaseant scent, and lathers very easily.
    I liked that it had natural ingredients, and the whole "sensitive skin" propaganda apparently makes it sell better. Glad to see the big company making strides for the wet shaving market.
    Here is the video I did with it.

    I got it and like it, it lathers well with a brush.

    It's definitely a brush cream. The performance and scent are more than acceptable for its price range.

    Unfortunately for me, I'm allergic and it gave me a burning rash.

    You would think a "pure" cream marketed for men with sensitive skin wouldn't include significant levels of perfume, menthol and peppermint oil. I'm pretty sure the perfume caused my reaction, as I generally like menthol and peppermint.

    In any event, the cream is certainly worth a try. If you like it, you'll have a relatively inexpensive drugstore option for a brush-capable cream.

    Good luck.

    I might as well review the cream now:

    Ease of lathering: 10/10–Great lather fast and easily. Just a small amount is needed.

    Longevity of lather: 10/10–Perfect stability. No thinning or dissipation.

    General skincare: 8/10–Pretty good. Soothing, moisturizing, and a light cooling effect.

    Scent: 5/10–To be honest I find it weird and not in a nice way.

    Price: N/A—I don’t have a clue. My father-in-law bought it for me.

    Would I buy again: 0/10–Absolutely never again. I might not even continue using this tube or just use it on rare occasions.

    There you have it - I ain’t impressed!
