Wow! This is simply superb shaving cream.
I am not a cream nut, being more of a soap guy, but I am gradually shifting to more of a cream guy, I think. Creams I have tried, just so you know my range:
Kiss My Face mint
Park Avenue Classic
C.O. Bigelow
Art of Shaving Sandalwood
Taylor Avocado
This stuff is phenomenal! While I have not tried the other two 'T's' this is every bit the equal of the AOS, and while the AOS is wonderful stuff, I think I prefer this. First, the scent is not bad at all, I think the person who said cucumbers was spot on. At any rate, it is quite fresh and cool, definitely does not smell like avocado and while I find it pleasant, I don't find myself drawn to the tub to sniff it during the day. Like I do with The Shave Den's Bourbon Vanilla, for instance. I like the scent, I would not clamor for it.
The other lower mark I gave it was for packaging, which I simply could not care less about. It is workmanlike and gets the job done, but like the scent, it is not at all remarkable. AOS presentation in this regard is much nicer, but really, who cares???
On every other level, this cream is superb. It lathers like a bomb, it would be hard to imagine having trouble lathering this cream. It is dense and cushiony in the extreme, every bit as dense as the AOS. Moisturizing properties are second to none, but that should be expected with an avocado oil or coconut oil cream additive, that's what avocado oil does.
When compared to every other premium cream, the price is ridiculous. That, coupled with its top qualities makes it an incredible value. Maybe C.O. Bigelow is a 'better' value, but this cream is not that much of a jump in price, and it is definitely my favorite cream. AOS and the Bigelow are tied for my second faves, but the price differential between those is much larger.
I cannot say anything about the other two 'T's', but I may never get there. I just can't see me purchasing them after the comments here from more experienced shavers who have tried all three 'T's'.
I think I found my daily cream and the standard by which I will judge other creams. Try this, you won't be disappointed.
