Ok so just had my first shave with the creams!!
First up was the Russian Viking, this is one of the two creams I was most looking forward to trying.
Squeezed out a thumb nail sized amount. Found it to be quite thirsty and the more water I added the more lather I got, I soon realised that I had enough lather to last several shaves. Beautiful snowy white peaks with a slight menthol smell. Lathered up my face and found it to be slightly cooling, first pass WTG lots of cushion and not over slick for the glide, ploughed through 2 days growth no problem, wet face and lathered again. Still plenty of peaks and no lather deterioration. 2nd pass XTG, again nice cushion and just the right amount of slickness, no burn or irritation and a DFS at this stage. I could of left it here and been happy enough but wet face once more and lathered up a third time. The lather remained in top form throughout so very good staying power. 3rd Pass ATG, again the cushioning and slickness were awesome and now I had a perfect BBS, no burn, no nicks and no touch up required which is unusual for me. My face felt soft and moisturised after and the snakebite AS gave minimal burn but super cooling effect. All in All possibly the best shave I have had. I can't imagine the other creams coming close to this and will definitely be in my rotation from now on. Only ever experienced two other creams that have come close to giving me this smooth a shave and both are more expensive than this. Thank you Mark for introducing me to this wonderful cream 10/10 [emoji1303][emoji1303]
