Bought this iin the tube edition during a trip to London, more than a year ago. Its purpose was to use it on my trips. tried it for the first time with a Vulfix silvertip brush at home. Disappointing !! Lahtered very easily but dried very quickly, even before I finished my first pass... At the same time, I was feeling a tingling sensation, I could not make where it was coming from. (lateron, I learned it may be due to lanolin which this cream includes. Not sure, just mentioning it.)
Anyway, I tried it a second time, while on a trip: the results were the same. So I put it aside and did not use it again until last week. As my Tabac soap was nearing its end (and the refill has not arrived yet), I decided to give it a thrid try but now with a stiffer, pure badger Omega brush.
Well, it feels totally different ! It lathers well again but does not give this annoying tingling feeling on the face. This may be due to the stiffer brush pushing the cream in the skin and/or doing a soft peeling of the skin, before the cream arrives. It sill dries too fast, however.
I would not recommend it; there are very nice creams around (Proraso Green) and, of course, the ultimate Tabac soap !!
