I bought this product from a local Organic Food store at Nicole's recommendation. I too tried to create a lather with my brush . Can't help it!
Price: Well priced at $5-$7 depending on where you get it. Lasts for quite a long time.
Quality: Well this is right to the point, isn't it ? Overall, this product shaves quite well. I, too, found that it is kind of difficult to wash off - it is very thick/creamy and seemingly waterproof! It can gum up razors if you use too much - a thin layer should be just fine. I find that it produces clean, smooth, irritation free shaves. And no soap - it does not strip oils from your face. That's all the quality I could ask for!
Scent: Let me just hop over to the bathroom real quick... ... ... This scent is quite unique and kind of hard for me to place. It definitely smells clean and fresh, but a bit sweet - not clean like Williams' Mug soap or anything like that. It is clean, crisp and sweet. Unique. Slightly floral. Quite light. Overall pleasant!
Latherability: I gave it a 10 so as not to throw off the overall rating since there is no N/A available which would have been most appropriate. This is a purely brush-free cream - it does not change consistancy at all! It doesn't matter if you use a brush - you are just smearing it over your face!
Efficacy: This is, in many ways, a down-and-dirty shaving cream. It shaves very fast because there is no brush involved - it takes as long to apply as it does to wet your face with water. It's only downfall is the tendacy to clog razors because of it's consistancy.
Moisturizing Properties: As a non-soap cream, it leaves my skin fresh and smooth. It makes me wish I had softer water in this house, though. But I come from a school of thought where the cream should be so good that you don't need an aftershave. Overall it is better than average but the final moisturization of the face and beard area is not it's strong suit.
Packaging: Wish it was recycleable. A pleasing enough look. I think I might prefer something of this consistancy in a tub rather than a tube - but how much of a difference can one little "e" make? I crack myself up!!
This product is definitely a different experience from a market in which most of the products are the same meal with a different package and a new flavor. You owe it to yourself to branch out to it!
