If so, how is it?
Anyone try the new Coate's yet?

Mine should have arrived this morning and I will find out tomorrow morning if it meets my expectations.

I tried it yesterday and really liked it. Used a VERY small amount of product for face lathering and it whipped up a very dense lather once I got the water ratio right. Looking forward to the rest of the line-up when it gets released.
I must be allergic to the tea tree or rosemary, because it burned my face like mad.
Really? I got that today but I wasn't sure if I went too mad with the brush.
I don't get a burning sensation/redness from products too often, so I'm juhst guessing. Some of Mama Bear's soaps have done it, but that's probably because they're loaded with FO's. I can only guess I may be allergic to something in the Coate's.
In other news, I took the sticker off the top of the tub because mine was unevenly applied, and it turns out the cream came in an old tub for Coate's Lime.

I have used mine a few times and it is great stuff. There is a bit of a tingle but I attribute that to the tea tree. I get the same feeling when I use tea tree antiseptic on my skin. I found I needed very little to make beautiful slick lather.
Here is an image of the left over lather from my first shave. I only used a small amount from underneath the lid.

Yeah apparently they're all old Coate's tubs 
I think I'll apply some tomorrow without the brush and see. I sure hope I'm not allergic to it because I seriously don't have the money to throw away on creams that I can't use. I bought some Proraso pre/post cream too and I've yet to be convinced that that was a good purchase.

I've used my tub once, and enjoyed it well enough. I also got a slight tingle, but my face didn't burn or anything. It made plenty of slick lather very quickly.
Yeah, it lathers very quickly along the lines of 3T's.
I am surprised it smells OK. To me, tea tree oil has a horrible smell.

Can someone please take a photo of the unlathered cream?
Thanks.
Thanks.
Thanks Ryan!
Any chance you could post the ingredients list/photo?

Here are the ingredients from the tub:
The pic is pretty blurry, so I figure I'll type them out here as well.
Ingredients: Aqua, Stearic Acid, Myristic Acid, Potassium Hydroxide, Coconut Acid, Glycerin, Triethanolamine, Parfum, Sodium Hydroxide, Melaleuca Alternifolia Extract (TeaTree Essential Oil), Amyl Cinnamal, Linaloolf, HexylCinnamal.
I'd also like to say that I used this stuff again for the second time this morning. It lathered up almost by itself, even with my cheap-o brush. The tea tree oil has a very interesting on my face, an almost menthol-like tingle but without the slight numbness.

-1 I do not agree at all. The subtle blend of fragrances is delightful. I have the legacy Coates Teatree also and find the addition of rosemary to be a real enhancement, but that's what makes horse racing. Glad I did not take your advice.
I'm going to have to disagree. I've been trying my creams out lately and Coates is definitely one of the best. The scent is one of my favorites, if not the favorite, and the cream lathers like a beast. For $20 and the size it comes in, I would say it is a really good deal. I am glad I went out of my way and bought it.
What type of razor is shown in the first picture of this thead?
