Item Description
Price: $19 for 6.7oz? Great deal for any English cream, let alone this gem.
Quality: Simply great. The cream is soft and rich, with a beautiful texture. The package proudly states "all our products are made from naturally derived ingredients where possible" as well as "not tested on animals." Another big plus.
Scent: If I could, I'd give this cream 20 out of 10. The sent is simply incredible. Unbelievable. Must be experienced. It hits you strong and clean when you open the tub -- not too medicine-y or pinesol-y as with some lemon-scented creams. The strength of the smell only drops down a tiny bit once you get it lathered, and then its PERFECT. Just enough of the smell lingers after you wash the cream off your face, leaving behind a suprisingly masculine yet invigorating and sweet afterglow. Salter's nailed it with the scent; even if this cream gave me terrible shaves (which it doesn't, quite the opposite) I'd probably still buy it.
Latherability: Wonderful. Tends to make a thicker lather than some creams I've used, but "peaks" beautifuly in the bowl and holds up very well both on the brush and on the face after applying.
Efficacy: Salter's Citrus gives me awesome shaves. As if the scent wasn't enough, I'd be hard pressed to pick a cream that gives me a better shave with consistency. Razor glide is very smooth -- with a wet razor, the thick lather on your face dampens just enough to result in near-perfect strokes.
Moisturizing: Nothing to complain about here. Its not the most moisturizing cream I've used, but not the least either. After my experiences with the T&H Limes, I expected a dryed-out and uncomfortable finish with the Salter. Not so.
Packaging: A gem like this deserves so much better. I have no specific complaints about the double-shell white plastic tub, but it doesn't do this awesome cream any justice at all.
Verdict: My new go-to cream. If this stuff cost double what it does, I'd still buy it (but don't tell Cyril).
