I picked this up for nothing when the assistant in Boots reminded me there was a "3 for 2" offer. I thought it might be an option if I was in a hurry, or maybe for travel.
A look at the flimsy tube rules out the travel option--it would be all over everything before you can say "baggage handler".
But as it happens I was in a hurry this mornng so I gave it a go.
First impression--eek, it's so cold, and the "cool cologne" factor makes it worse. Plus I've got to get it all over my fingers to get it on my face. It has a thin and rather slimy texture but covers everything adequately
Now what to use? There's no lather left in the brush for extra passes and I'm not getting that stuff all over my fingers again. So it's got to be a single pass and as this is a time-saving option I use the mild Aristo Junior as it won't punish me for working fast. I want this stuff off my face!
Actually the two work together quite well. After one pass the shave is anything but perfect, but it's even and quite acceptable for my casual day.
But I don't really see the point and the cream is banished to the back of the cupboard for emergencies. For a single pass it's only a little faster than using a brush.
And it's COLD.
