Item Description
Today I'm reviewing a great product and easily one of the best shaving creams out there. The "Tabula Rasa" is an unscented shaving cream, handmade from natural ingredients in very small batches in Berlin, Germany and is especially intended for people with very sensitive skin as there are no fragrance oils or preservatives added.
The cream contains mango butter, shea butter, argan oil and a special, natural product called "Stimu-Tex" from a Swiss Company that has a softening, nurturing effect on the skin.
Ingredients (INCI): Aqua, Stearic Acid, Glycerin, Cocos Nucifera Oil, Argania Spinoza Kernel Oil, Hordeum Vulgare Wax, Butyrospermum Parkii Extract, Mangifera Indica Butter, Potassium Hydroxide, Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Borate.
Now for the review:
Price
at 20€ for 90g (27$ - 3,17oz.) it's quite expensive - but worth every cent of it.
Quality
10/10 here - a great product that leaves nothing to be desired.
Scent
Well, you could give it a zero or a ten here - I decided to go for the full score. The TR is unscented and even though there's a slight odor from the ingredients, it's next to scentless which is a good thing when you're making superlather or don't want the shaving cream to interfere with the AS/Cologne.
Latherability
Use very little water and a hazelnut-sized amount of cream and you'll get great great lather in next to no time.
Efficacy / Moisturizing Properties
If you suffer from dry skin you're in for a real treat, the TR moisturizes your face like hardly anything else out there due to the mango- and shea-butter and the arganoil. It's also very slick so your razor will cut through your beard as if it were butter and the thick, stiff lather provides excellent protection for your face.
Packaging
The Tabula Rasa comes in a nice metal-screw container and is additionally protected by plastic foil to avoid a potential (harmless!) reaction of the cream and the tin. In the future it'll come in plastic tubs to avoid this.
