I'm thinking of buying this cream, Lavanda Shaving Cream by Ach. Brito and I was wondering if it is any good. If anyone has tried it please give me some feedback.

I guess I'm gone to give up on this thread pretty soon.
Try using the search bar. There should be a few threads and a review, somewhere here on the site. IIRC, it doesn't have a bad reputation.
Lavanda cream has very good performance, similar to Musgo Real cream, but much less expensive. It contains lanolin. It has a straightforward lavender scent, but it is not the English type of lavender. More of a Mediterranean lavender scent; herbal not really floral. Well worth trying it.

Thanks, I am going to order it. Sounds good to me from what you said.
I tried it and it smells great. I find it a bit tougher to lather than Musgo but not really that tough. It seems sort of thirsty so light additions of water will do the trick. It’s also easier on my skin than Musgo.

I used it today and it is great. It makes a fantastic lather. This is a keeper for sure. I'm glad I bought it.
Your impatience is getting the better of you, 24 hours isn’t that long to wait with a lesser-used product
I’ve seen @Ron R write about Lavanda on his posts

Very enjoyable cream Ach Brito Lavanda and on my 2nd tube. The Lavanda cologne matches for a great shave also.
Razorock after shave splashes and other great aftershave splashes.....!
I ended up buying: Son of Zeus, Nomad and The Emperor AS. I loved the three of them. I'm quite surprised with the quality of the scent and how long lasting they are. I started using the Son of Zeus and that seems way more like a cologne than an aftershave. Very happy with my purchase, quite good...

I had a tube and it was really hard to get out of the tube. Didn't like it. It's the cheaper version of their other cream, Musgo?
The cream is excellent but part of the scent is strong and synthetic and commonly found in inexpensive aftershaves.
You had an old tube, then, did you get it from Amazon? Their stuff sometimes does not move as fast as the shaving vendors. That's not a YMMV thing, you definitely got a dud. It comes out of the tube like any Proraso cream, and it lathers easily, sorry you got an old product.
I happen to love the scent, although I agree with the poster who said it's more herbal than floral. I've used several lavenders over the past and I think that is a good distinction. This also has a little bit of menthol, not much, just a touch, which makes it a little cooling. The A/S splash is nice, too.
I've had TOBS lavender cream, Barrister & Mann Reserve Lavender (my favorite, but discontinued) and a lavender soap I can't remember which. This is my last stop. Both the cream and the splash will have a permanent place in my den.
Cream in a tube, I have never tired.
For me, I guess I have no desire to squeeze a tube during my shaving ritual.
Maybe I need therapy....
Plenty of pucks, soaps & croaps in the dens.
Now I wish they had toothpaste ( or hemorrhoid cream) in a puck not in a tube......just joking...

If you enjoy it, please don't let me ruin it...
If you are not having fun, you are doing it wrong!
