SCS Coconut

Pulled out my tub of SCS Coconut Oil cream from the back of the cabinet. It had been out of use for a few months so I gave the cream a quick stir. After a dip of a badger in the cream, I went to work face lathering. I tend to really work the cream before slowly adding water. My reward was a rich, slick lather that smelled heavenly. The lather this creams delivers is splendid. It leaves my face soft and moisturized. Really fine stuff. I think it will stay in the front of the line for a bit.

Wow!!! What can I say...this is my new favorite cream...as soon as I figured out how to make a good lather with it, I was sold...this stuff is very slick and has a wonderful coconut smell to go along with it...I had two days growth going on and when I lathered up with this stuff my fat boy slid over it like butter...best shave I've gotten to date...you will not be disappointed, I highly recommend it!

Price: This was a gift so price wasn't a factor.

Quality: As with all of Sue's products, the quality of the cream is apparent. The cream was uniform in texture. It was very smooth and glossy. Her creams have a fairly thick consistency.

Scent: Now here is the good stuff! This is a wonderful dreamy, creamy scent. It is not a one-dimensional synthetic coconut smell. I think it would appeal equally to both men and women.

While it smells delectable inside the jar, the scent really opens up once you start lathering with it. I could detect a dry coconut smell that reminded me of the homemade coconut ice cream at my favorite Thai restaurant. There was also a subtle fruit note of juicy pineapple. Finally, I could smell a creamy, coconut milk-pina colada smell that was just mouth-watering.

The sad part is that the scent washes away and only faintly lingers on your skin. This would be a plus for gents who don't want their shave cream to interfere with their colognes and aftershaves. For me, I want to bathe in this stuff because it smells so good! I would second zerohnine in a request for a matching aftershave milk just so I had the option of layering scents.

Latherability: As with most SCS creams, it takes a bit more patience and water to get to that sweet spot but it is well worth it. I had lots of lather left over for numerous passes.

Efficacy: The lather was slick and moist. The razor glided over my skin with ease. No complaints here. Nothing but a nice smooth shave.

Moisturizing: I was impressed by how moisturizing it is! Afterwards, my skin did not need any type of moisturizer or aftershave balm.

Packaging: It came in a very smart black jar with a silver lid. I think it would look very nice on any bathroom counter. The lid was slightly dented but I think that was due to the post office's negligence.
