I like this cream, but it's very different than anything I've used. It has a very "spa-like" fragrance, very like and green tea-ish. The lather is very light, and doesn't change when you use more product, or less water, but it moisturizes the heck out of your face. My batch of cream was also very chunky, but I read on another forum that was a onetime deal. Great shave throughout, if you don't mind the thinner lather.
