Cremo is underrated

Either they have re-formulated the product, or you're a better man than me.
I tried using this and could get a lather, but it quickly dissipated.
I was unimpressed.
That said, the normal stuff is great.
cremo is still one of my favs 
agree bourbon and vanilla is amazing smelling

Wow! Well...I'm sincere when I say, it was the slickest product in my collection and my collection is over 80 soaps/creams now. It smells great and lathers very easily. It's not the same Cremo that you get in a tube...the tube stuff is not meant to lather at all and is just something that you apply by hand. I use the tube stuff as a pre-shave.
Cremo didn't work for me, but it's good that it agrees with you, I do like the original scent (that pinesol scent reminds me of my youth).
That cremo in a puck/round container look neat though, not sure I would go out and buy it, but it the conditions were right?

Yup, That's the buzz kill for me for it.
Whenever I used Cremo & it's part of my rotation. I always make the lather with a brush. Initially I only used my hand because I didn't have a brush. The only thing I don't like about Cremo is the fact it dries out too quickly on your face.
Cremo is definitely the best choice if you have to grab a shave cream from Target or WalMart. It blows away the gels and foams performance wise, and has some nice scents.
Same here, on both counts. I lather it up with a soft brush and a little water. Takes about 20 seconds to get a serviceable lather. One thing I've noticed is even though it dries a little too fast, if I wet my face again there's usually enough residual slickness to do a touch up here or there.
Agree. I usually re-lather those spot but when I don't the area is still very slick.
Also Cremo is on sale this week at my local supermarket & will pick up more.
Love the Sandalwood & Original have never tried the Mint. But if you check out their web site they have other scents my local stores don't carry including the Cremo Reserve. But I know Amazon carry those other scents.
One last thing this thread inspire me to use today Cremo Sandalwood.

thats great I've been using this as my go to preshave exclusively and nk matter what soap I use it makes my shaves excellent
I'm not finding this particular product on their USA website. Although Amazon has one in stock for $12.38. Hopefully is a fairly new product & not a product being discontinued. I would definitely try this.
I bought my "puck" from Amazon. It's a very loose cream. If you tip the puck to one side...it'll slowly make a wave and head towards the side gravity is forcing it. But it lathered very quickly and easily for me and the slickness was way above average.
Thanks.
It's not on the USA site. I scrolled through all the product listed under Shop All & they sell a ton of different product.

I've already spend too much money on shaving gear in the last couple of days. Going to pass. If it's available in about a month or so I'll try it.
What I was referring to was the Cremo in the tub - Sandalwood - that is supposed to lather with a brush. As I said, it whipped up a lather, but by the time I was almost done with my first pass, the lather dissipated. I also have the tube Cremo and it works really well as either a pre-shave or to shave with. The only knock I have with using it to shave with (the tube stuff) is that it's hard to see where you've already gone over and there's not much cushion.
Maybe the stuff in the tub has been improved. I used it shortly after it hit the stores (Target in my town). Now you don't see it.
I second that the hard to find tub Cremo Sandalwood Lathering Shave Cream is the slickest of 'ANY' product, soap or cream I've ever used. However it may be the worst smelling product to me. It smells like those ladies home perm kits that were the rage in the 80's if you've ever been near someone doing that. Maybe not that extreme, but really close.
Cremo, the original brushless in a tube, is what opened my eyes to other ways of shaving many years ago. It let me know there were other options out there other than 5 blades and pressurized goo. So I can thank it for that!
More on topic: I have two tubs of their sandalwood - different formulas - that are intended to be used with a brush, but I have not tried them yet. Just too many other things in my plate right now.

I’ve had excellent results bowl lathering with the Cremo in a tube and a synthetic brush.
