Item Description
My wife and are celebrating our anniversary this weekend with a short weekend excursion. In the course of events, I noticed the little sign in our hotel room, stating that complimentary toiletries were available at the front desk. Among those listed, was shaving cream.
Being the curious sort, I asked for a sample, and was obliged... I wish I wasn't.
It came in a ketchup type package, which actually seems like a good idea for traveling. I would gladly use proraso or it's like from a similar container.
I opened it up, and out came a pearly white, cream... it smelled a bit like citrus, but there was a stronger, familiar, slightly unpleasant odor as well. I couldn't place it.
Remembering that I have often disliked a products scent upon first impression, only to became fond of it later. I decided to give it a second chance. I squeezed some into a bowl and grabbed my brush, then hesitated, not knowing if the stuff was water based. It turns out that was a good decision.
I scooped some up on my fingers, where if felt ok, so I applied some to my face. When I went back for some water, I quickly found out that the stuff doesn't just rinse off. By now my face was beginning to burn... A LOT!
It's about that time I realized what it reminded me of... my wife's Nair cream. I quickly set about scrubbing it off, but even with soap and a washcloth it took a while. After a brief search on the web, it is definately not a nair type product. I'ts merely the worst stuff I have ever had the misfortune to put on my face.
I ought to donate a case of this stuff to wherever our military is interrogating terrorists these days. After a week of this stuff they'd sell out their own mothers.
My face is red, and splotchy, and even with a generous application of Mitchel's woolfat soap, my shave was definatly substandard. Even my Aqua Velva burned till my eyes watered.
It may have been an allergic reaction on my part, but this stuff tore me up. My only consolation is, that it was free... even so I think I want my money back.
PRICE = 1 Hey it was free.
Quality = 0 Unless you are a masochist then I'd bet it would get high marks.
Scent = 0 Eau de Nair
Latherability =0 the stuff isn't even water soluble. It's like trying to lather up petroleum jelly.
Efficacy =0 Unless of course you are interrogating a prisoner. Of course our country has vowed not to use torture, so I guess even this isn't a use for it.
Maybe useful as a college prank...
Moisturizing = 0 It's not water soluble. It's about as moisturizing as gasoline.
Packaging. = 10 The packaging, while unattractive, is efficient, and indeed a good idea. Too bad the contents, are so lousy.
