I find this cream to be fantastic, and one of the kindest to my skin that I have yet to try.
Price: It is a bit expensive, so I docked a few points for price. That being said, you get something a little different than most creams: 99% organic or all-natural ingredients, sourced from high quality suppliers. This cream doesn't "feel" or smell synthetic, and is INCREDIBLY easy on the skin.
Latherability: While it doesn't "behave" like a traditional English cream, per se, I find that when creams are too thick (such as some of the English creams), the extra volume doesn't really do that much for me, and even detracts a little from the "slickness" factor. TGR doesn't have quite the thickness of an English cream, but it still lathers very well, and I prefer its texture by a longshot. Also, it should be noted that this cream (at least in my experience) can take a good bit of water; you don't have to be shy.
I felt like addressing those two categories specifically, but I love everything about this cream. I'm seriously considering making this my go-to cream, and getting rid of several of my other English creams, ultimately holding on to only a few odd tubes (Proraso, TOM) and my AOS Lavender Soap.
The scent is natural, light, but pleasant. The moisturizing properties are great: I haven't found another cream that leaves my face feeling better......including some of the well-regarded creams (TOBS Rose, for example). Honestly, I think that TGR's Shave Cream and ASB are some of the best modern shaving products out there.
