I got a bottle of this, and the EMJ post shave lotion at Walmart last night. I saw it at Target one day and it looked interesting, and the price was pretty good.
I did forget that this was a non-lathering cream, which I saw on YouTube, but I still tried to lather it, so that didn't work out well lol. It was a little different not having a lather, but I've used a clear gel shaving cream in the past, so it wasn't that big a deal.
The EMJ seemed to be very slick, as most people have said. I did notice that I was rinsing out my DE razor a little more often, but again, not a big deal. The not having to build up a lather did save time, which was kind of nice. I did get one nick, but, I am also still fairly new to DE shaving and getting my technique down still.
I didn't notice the smell of stale beer that other people have reported. Maybe they have changed their formula, or I just couldn't smell it. I'll try to pay more attention when I shave with it again.
Overall, it wasn't a bad cream, but it is in no means the best cream around. I'm not sure if I will buy another tube of this once I use it all or not, probably not, but I probably would by the post shave face lotion again. It seemed to go a long way, and my face feels smoother and more moisturized after just one use.
Hopefully this helps someone.
