BAUME.BE
I heard good things about this cream, so I got a container and tried it out.
The scent on this cream is just kind of a soapy sent. The scent will not motivate me to use this. There are other creams that smell so much better. I scooped some out and put it in my shaving bowl. It was a soft but firm cream. It was the firmest cream I have ever used. I took a damp, boar brush and started swirling it around. This being a cream I figured it will need very little water. I was wrong this cream is just as thirsty as some of my soaps. I was surprised at how much water I needed to ad. I usually like to have some cream on had just in case I don’t have time to make a lather with soap. BAUME.BE is not a fast lather maker it acts much more like a shaving soap.
Another interesting characteristic is that this cream just builds in the brush not in the bowl. The only other time I have seen this happen was with Southern witchcraft soap. Since I knew what was happening, I just painted it on instead of trying to get the lather build in the bowl. I went thru so much Southern witchcraft soap trying to get some lather to build up in the bowl.
The cream painted on nice and thick and is very slick. I got a very nice slick and cushioning shaving surface. There is residual slickness if you need to do some touch up buffing.
I like the cream I think it is a premium cream I only wish the scent was more appealing to me but not is not offensive.
