Looks fancy, got it at T.J. Max on clearance for $4. Can't seem to get a good lather out of it. Maybe it's the Muhle Silvertip Fibre travel brush. Anyone else tried it?

I think it's a brushless cream anyway. Caswell Massey soaps and creams are pretty poor.

The instructions say to lather it up in a mug or bowl with a brush. It is pretty poor, though.
I had a tube of Caswell Massey eucalyptus shaving cream a few weeks back. It will lather, but you will probably need to use at least double the amount of cream you are used to using. I consider it to be a below average cream, and I PIFed it after a couple of uses.
This was one of the first creams I bought several years ago. I had trouble lathering this cream and thought it was me. It turns out this cream is crap.
Use it as a brushless shave cream.

Casswell Massey is probably one of the worst shaving creams ever made. I don't know anyone who can get it to lather properly. The soap is even worse.
FTFY.
This is about the only product I strongly recommend be avoided. It is an absolute waste of money, period.

Run away! Seriously, just take the loss and enjoy using something else.

Seems the cream is slightly better than the soap. I can't get anything with the soap.

You're mean!
The partial tube was originally PIFed to me, so I was just sharing sharing the love with someone else..
I can't believe they still manufacture this crap,it's had a bad rep for decades....nice packaging tho'....
Caswell-Massey's goal is to provide a latherless shaving product at a price point that can be absorbed by all. Let's give them some credit for succeeding.

It is labeled on the box as lather shave cream, though.

Caswell-Masochist, yeah... it really is that bad.
I bought some of their shave cream a while back at either a marshalls or tj maxx, its a terrible performer, its a shame b/c it smells great.
Aside from the scents which are really quite nice, the cream has little redeeming quality. The soap can at least be used as a body bar.
I think most people dont realize that this product requires MUCH less water then most other creams. In my experience it lathers great with a badger brush, you just have to know how to work it.
