Item Description
My first review thread, so I'll piggy-back on Brother Kyle's format.
I got this tub of Sandalwood from a B&B member, but had been eyeing it in one of the local OK City shops for a while. Historically, I haven't been into Sandalwood scents, but historically I wasn't into wet-shaving either
.
Price - I've seen 8 oz tubs of this stuff go for about $16. Like I said, I picked up this and some other Sandalwood products from a fellow B&B member. I'd consider re-stocking at that price.
Scent - If you like Sandalwood, this is the cream for you. It is a stronger scent than the Crabtree & Evelyn and I found it lingers around some after the shave.
Latherability - This is not a thick cream like Taylor or Trumpers. Its consistency is more like the Truefitt & Hill Ultimate Comfort or Nancy Boy. It didn't produce the thick meringue-like peaks I've enjoyed with the three T creams, however, once lathered up in my bowl, I got 4 very good passes out of it each time.
Moisturizing Properties - This is what I liked best about it. The cream glistens in the tub and on your face. It moisturizes great and my blade (Merkur HD with Feathers) just glided across my face. There's an abundance of oil in this product and it helped make this a great shave!
Packaging - Black plastic tub--never been a deciding factor for me (although I do like the smoky, amber glass that the C&E creams come in )
Quality / Efficacy - Good stuff. I got it for a good price and will certainly buy more when I run out
