Salter Sublime Citrus

First let me say I'm a big fan of grapefruit scents. I ordered the Salters based on the descriptions I had seen here on B&B of their citrus scent and it's excellent reputation. While the cream itself provides a nice shave, I really don't care for the scent...it has a strange underlying burnt/chemical smell to it that I can't get past. It also seems to dry out my face:confused: I'm still occasionally trying it, but overall a disappointment in my book.

Scent
Best Citrus / Lime genre scent I've tried so far.
Taylor's Lemon & Lime is sweetish, not really a citrone scent.
Salter is superior to Trumper's Lime and C. Tyrwhitt Lime (obsolete by now?) too.
Haven't tried Castle Forbes Lime and AOS Lemon though.

Texture
Rich in oils and glycerine. Soft. Light. A joy to use.

Lather
It makes very easily a rich lather.
Lather is thick, doesn't get dried.

Efficacy - Price
It's not so dense, so you spend some more. But at £10 or less for a huge 200 ml pot, that's not an issue at all.
It seems to last for hundreds of shaves.

Packaging
Simple plastic pot, yet chic in navy blue color.

Bottom line
If you love citrus / lime scents, not sweet, but fresh and a bit sour, that cream is for you. It is for me.
