I received the Sandalwood and Lavender as a surprised gift from my gf. She picked them up at TJ Maxx for around $6ea. Mine seemed to have a firmer consistency at first but thinned out after dipping the wet brush into it for a few weeks. Might be a good idea to scoop it out instead of dipping. I really like these creams and apparently so does my gf, Ive caught her stealing some of the lavender cream and my brush to shave her legs! This stuff seems to lather up really quickly and easily and provides a very slick and protective lather. It doesn't dry out my skin even when i take my time and do 4 passes. The only complaint I have is the packaging. Its very flimsy and the tape the use to seal it gets all sticky after a few weeks. Luckily that doesn't effect the performance of the cream which is great. Highly recommended!
