Item Description
PRICE: at $35 a pop, this is the most expensive shaving cream I've run across, so my no means is it cheap.
Quality: The stuff is well put together using aloe, coconut acid, glycerin, and Lime EO, so it provides a great cushion for your shave. However, it does look a bit funky. It is very thick and goopy, and their are sections that are almost gel like.
Just look at the way it sticks to the finger, it has a very heavy consistency
Scent: As soon as you open the tub you are slapped in the face by the strong lime scent. It is the Best smelling lime scent I've come across, much better than T&H west indian limes. It fills the bathroom and provides a fantastic scent throughout the shave. Out of all my creams, this one smells the best IMHO.
Latherability: This provides gobs and gobs of lather. Right up there with all the T's and everything else I've tried. What I like is how heavy this lather is, very thick and creamy, yet still very slick. The only creams I've used that give better cushion are Taylor's avocado and Nancy Boy.
On the brush
On my arm
this was after one pass of the brush, giving a thick covering that let's the razor glide over the skin.
Efficacy: Hey, it works. Period. Gives great cushion and a smooth shave. The only reason I took a point off is if you get to aggressive with your razor, the strong lime oil content can start to give a slight sting to the skin, but nothing painful.
Moisturizing Properties: That same lime oil that makes it sting also leaves your skin very hydrated and very supple. If you don't like to use a balm, this would be a great cream as it leaves your skin with tons of moisture.
Packagine: Are you kidding me? At $35 this thing better come in a glass jar with precious gems on the lid. Instead they put this great cream in a flat, wide plastic jar with a sticker label. It's like an oversized hockey puck. Here it is next to Taylor's avocado
I'd hope they could do at least a bit better than that for the premium price you pay.
Overall: The best scented cream I have used. Builds a beautiful thick, moisturizing lather. However at $35, it's not cheap to give it a whirl, and by no means a good value. Worth a try if you love the lime scent, but not $15-$25 better than the other less expensive creams. I'd get a sample before you take the plunge.
