Item Description
I'm going to have to go back and edit my soap/cream reviews -every time I think I've got the best a man can get (sorry), I stupidly buy something else and its even better! The AoS cream I found rich but not very effective, the 3T's' creams all look and smell wrong to me and I thought the CF was great but bought this cos I didn't like parabens. First off, this is Mother-of-Pearl white and smells edible. Nothing un-natural, no preservatives, menthol or alcohol and about half the ingredients are organic.
Price was £17/$34 per 150ml, which is v expensive so colouring the overall score, but as the CF cream lasted me 2 months I thought it might be worth it. The scent is nice but its not really a scented product, so that aspect of the review's not too relevant. Ditto the moisturising,tho it certainly doesn't dry the skin out for me. This is much easier to work with than the CF cream, about as nice as the AoS, but where as the AoS promised much but delivered v little razor-glide, this gives plenty of feedback while cushioning well. No. Evaporation. This is xly important to me as when I straight-shave I take a long time. I found with the CF cream, it tended to soil or stress my brush, but this sloughs right off with v little residue. I won't be going back to CF, (no matter where it's made) and am v happy I bought TGR. I just hope I can end it here, as everytime I think I've settled down, something else comes along! Oh...The Black Ice made me feel physically sick after just a sniff from the tester, so if you got bad results from it, it might be worth getting a sample of the Std stuff to see if that makes a difference.
