The Art of Shaving Shaving Cream Unscented

not worth the money considering the high quality shave creams from England you can get for 10-15 bucks cheaper that are just as good.

This review is a combination of my experience with the sample I tried today and what I know of the full tub of product. Quite simply, this is the best shaving cream I have used. I really was hoping not to like it, that the $10-$13 premium over TOBS or Proraso was just paying for the brand name, but I must say I was impressed. If a tub of TOBS is worth $15, then AoS is worth $25. The lather was very meringuey, slick, moisturizing, and protective. I didn't know what to put down for scent, being an unscented product. This definitely would be a good product for no-fragrance workplaces. My rating for packaging is based on the sample, not the tub. The review won't let me put 0 for the price (that's why it says (none indicated"), but the sample I received in the store was free. The sample came in a packet, not in a small tub like all the other cream samples I have (but it did come in a box with a packet of pre-shave oil and a packet of ASB). Just don't make the mistake of squeezing all of it out. Half of the sample is more than enough for a three or four pass shave. While this is the best performing cream I have tried (out of KMF, Proraso, TOBS, XPEC, DRH, and The Body Shop), it's no better in performance than the C&E soap I have, which as a refill without the bowl cost $16 less than a tub of AoS cream.

Price: Not the most expensive, but getting into deminishing returns territory. Quality: Excellent quality, ranks with the 3 T's. Scent: Absolutely none, so it got a 10 for bieng as advertised. Latherability: Really whips up a nice thick lather, not too sensitive to the water/cream ratio. Efficacy: Blade glides well, no tugging. Moisturizing Properties: Not very, but not too drying either, leaves face a little dry. Packaging: Top notch, double walled tub with a screw lid.
