Price
$11 for 8 oz. this is about as affordable as a high end cream can get.
Scent
The Mosswood scent is nice and warming, maybe my favourite scent. It is not overwhelming and if anything I would like it to be just a little stronger even though it already is strong. (I admit that this is the one cream I have that makes it tough to resist a quick sniff of the brush afterwords.)
Latherability
The lather is nice and creamy. It does not become fluffy and luxurious, but turns into a thicker paste that protects well.
Efficacy
I am a fan of both Uberlather and Superlathers. I have yet to mix Fraser's with anything at all. It does not seem like there is a soap that can be mixed with this cream and improve the overall shave. The cream is perfect by itself.
Moisturizing Properties
If Fraser's cream lacks anything, it is slickness. It makes up for this in moisture and protection.
Packaging
Name stamped on a clear white container - perfect! I don't like paying xtra for fancy containers or coulored stickers that bleed and come off. Notice that this is a 8 oz container (bigger than most other creams).
The container is tall and skinny (compared to others). I like to use my 22mm Finest with Fraser's and have no problems loading in the cream (I just pinch the badger bloom a little to get it into the container). However, I feel like a wider knot on a shorter handle may get tricky when the container nears the bottom.
