It smells fine to me. It kind of smells like a department store to me, that new clothes scent, if that makes sense... The wife said kind of a woodsy/Shea butter. I did do a test lather in my palm earlier and it didn't lather at all. I may have had too much water or not enough cream but I will give it a try on my face tomorrow.
Mine went in the waste basket and I have an acquaintance whose girlfriend noticed he had one so she bought him another not realizing he didn't like it. That being said, I do recall at least one Forum member using it for awhile and liking it.
Smelled like some kind of raw nut paste or bad peanut butter. I wasn't going to put it on my face. Walgreens refunded me.
Nice, want some. Will have to see if they sell it at Walmart Canada. Look forward to your shave report.
