Item Description
AlRaz "The Bomb" can be ordered directly through him (by PM). Soca is a custom cream, and it is a lime/carribean scent. I went with the shaving cream consistency, but there is a denser version available. Al is great to work with, and his customer service is top-notch. I made a mistake with my shipping address, and Al was extremely helpful in getting everything resolved.
Price: $25 shipped. A little steep, but still less than some of the English creams.
Quality: Outstanding. It has almost a Vaseline consistency, and is a really slick product.
Open jar:
Scent: I really like the Soca more than traditional lime scents. It has a strong lime scent, with subtle undertones. It has no "candy" smell at all to it.
Latherability: Really great. I took some pics with an $8 Tweezerman just to illustrate how easy it is to lather.
A little bit of cream spread on the bottom of the bowl:
A few twirls:
After 20 seconds:
Brush full:
Swiped on hand:
Efficacy: A great cream. Plenty of slick, cushiony lather. It really lets the razor glide.
Moisturizing: Does a great job here as well. It doesn't dry the face at all.
Packaging: Not much to say here, it comes in a plastic jar. Does the job.
All in all, this is a great (possibly the best) cream I have tried. It lathers easier than other creams, is super protective, and has a nice scent. I easily rank it above Castle Forbes lime. I'd highly recommend giving this cream a try.
