Item Description
I was one of those poor chaps whose skin was extremely irritated by the Lavender Shave Cream; Customer Service at Classic Shaving sent me a tub of the Unscented as a replacement. I do not yet see unscented on the web-site, but I presume that it will soon be available.
Price I found that the price is exceptional for a premium shave cream.
Quality Previously, my gold-standards have been Proraso Green and Taylor's Hypo-Allergenic. This stuff strips them both.
Scent This stuff is Unscented, so obviously there is very little to speak of! I'm disappointed that I cannot use the Lavender (my wife loved it). I'm still addicted to the smell of Proraso Green, so I will continue to use it five shaves out of six.
Latherability A very small dollop made a huge amount of very thick and consistent lather; exactly like the Lavender reviewed elsewhere. It kept its consistency over 10 minutes in my shaving mug.
Efficacy I judge efficacy in terms of how many 'passes' I can get before the blade begins to resist and razor-burn starts. To date, I've found Proraso Green the best. This stuff equals or surpasses it.
Moisturising Properties Excellent. Better than Taylor Hypo-Allergenic. We are in the deep of winter here in Nova Scotia, and it's very cold and dry, which for my sensitive skin is the ultimate test of a shaving regimen. The Classic Unscented left my skin well moisturised.
Packaging The Classic Unscented comes in a recyclable plastic tub. IMHO this is the best kind of packaging because it is totally recyclable.
