Picked this up from my local grocery store here in suburban MD. I like the pump bottle form factor. Makes for easy use. The instructions don't say anything about a brush nor do they say anything about how much to use. I used one pump in my bowl and a Tweezerman badger brush. It lathered up very quickly. The lather was very thick and creamy and I love the scent. Lathered up my face. Seems like a good cushion. The razor glided over it with no trouble. Got a nice 2 pass shave with no nicks/cuts. It doesn't have the tingle of my CO Bigelow, but at $7, this may still be a keeper.
First impressions of KMF Lavender

Uhg... i hated the smell of KMF lavender. I don't even know why. I'm usually fine with florals. The KMF products are pretty great latherers though, and the combo of price, efficacy, and the fact that most people can get them locally makes their creams an awesome choice.
still new and my only two cremes are Proraso and KMF lavender.
KMF has been great. half a pump on the ends of the brush let me lather enough for my usual three pass shave with plenty left over. feels slicker than Proraso, but i seem to get better shaves with Proraso (again, newbie). neutral on the scent, not bad but could take it or leave it. does smell more naturally lavender than many hand soaps/cremes.

There site has 7! The Whole Foods market in Salt Lake City had quite a few when I last went. I think they had all but the Mint. I could be wrong though, as it was a couple months back.
Yup - pretty good stuff. I used a number of KMF shaving creams before switching over to tallow soaps.
I've been wanting to try KMF but haven't come across it in a store yet. I work very close to you. Do you mind if I ask which local grocery you picked it up in and did they have the other flavors
(scents)?Thanks!
I got the patchouli in a trade. The later is amazing, and the scent lasts, which could be a good or bad thing.
I've used the mint and the lavender. Love the scent and lather on both! I gave the Lavender to my wife because it was irritating my skin. I won't be getting more soon because I just got three tubs or Omega cream/soap, 3 pucks of Col. Conk Lime, and some Tabac on the way. I'm set for awhile. I also have a large unused tube of CO Bigelow left after I finish the one I'm using. I will try the KMF Lime someday though. KMF is very good stuff!
I have a NIB puck of Old Spice but the scent is long gone, so enter a pump of KMF Patchouli &
... oh yeah, thats what I am talking about, you get the picture
KMF is my absolute favorite of all the creams or soaps. I found out it works best if you use a good amount of the cream AND you add enough water to make it light and airy. Once you reach the perfect mixture the blade will literally glide over your face. This stuff really is the bees kness of the shaving world!
