15. Brush lather: Will a brush make it lather in a bowl? No
16. Brush cleanup: Does it easily rinse out of a brush? Yes
17. Enjoyment: Did I enjoy the shave without a brush? Yes
18. Remarks: In production since 1932. Contains menthol. Box is marked brushless, and claims superior lubrication and protection. Instructions on the box recommended applying the cream to the beard with the fingertips, which I did. This product lived up to the claims of lubrication and protection. I did receive a noticeably smooth and cooling shave with this product. After having experienced Ingrams now for the first time, I may get a tube of the lathering version and try it.

15. Brush lather: Will a brush make it lather in a bowl? Yes, see comment.
16. Brush cleanup: Does it easily rinse out of a brush? Yes
17. Enjoyment: Did I enjoy the shave without a brush? Yes
18. Remarks: Tub recommends applying product directly to wet beard, and claims superior moisturizing and lubrication. Appeared to live up to those claims. I did receive a noticeably smooth shave with this product. Producing lather from this product in a bowl with a brush requires too much time, brush work, and shaving cream. Doesnt seem to shave any differently with or without being brush lathered. Loaned to me by my daughter. I have owned this the product in the past, but not currently. After having had the opportunity to experience brushless shaving with this product, I would purchase it again, and forego the brush.
