There is no review! I got some last night and am looking forward to today's shave!
How am I going to find AOS Lemon performs?

I have a tube of the lemon cream, and to me it performs the same as my tube of sandalwood.
But, in my mind the scent is very discreet...as opposed to the sandalwood which whacks me in the nose and is my favorite scent of all.

The performance is top notch.

Well....let me tell you what I found!
I used some Anthony Logistics pre-shave oil with it, so maybe my results are a bit skewed. I found a small amount of cream to produce a nice amount of slick lather in my G5 scuttle. Plenty of staying power for my second pass and would have had plenty of quality lather for a third. Good cushion. There was a bit of sting for the second pass, which I'm sure would have been intensified had I not used the oil. The scent is like Dell's Lemonade or lemon Italian ice. There is a sweetness to it that lemon zest or lemon essential oil doesn't present. It is not an overpowering scent, nor is it very long lasting. Very pleasant.
A nice new cream to add to the rotation. I see the tub lasting a looong time.

I'd agree. I stuck my nose in the tub of Sandalwood. It has a much stronger scent. It is very different from the C&E Sandalwood.
I rather enjoy the scent of the AOS lemon cream. It is very fresh, and great in the springtime. It's a great performer as well. It's the only cream presently in my soap-stacked rotation.

Thanks. I couldn't find it with all of the other AOS cream reviews in the "A" section, and I admittedly gave up half way through the "T" section when I didn't see any other AOS creams there!

Second shave with it today. Really an enjoyable cream. One of the reviewers likened the smell to lemon meringue and I think that is a very accurate description. Glad I ended my six month sabbatical (Again! Last month it was Tabac cream!) to pick a tub of this up! I'm going to have to put the tub aside for a couple of days to give the Benton Clay Lavender Soap sample I received today a workout!
I haven't used it in a while, but I found it an excellent performer. It also has a nice creamy scent--kind of like lemon cake batter. Another winner from AOS.

My wife and I stopped at Rita's for some Italian ice and I got lemon. This is the smell of AOS lemon. It will be tomorrow morning's shave cream.
