Well I went from the cheapest cream (£1.69 Ingrams menthol, 4 fantastic shaves in a row) to a very expensive cream (£36 for the ADP) and thought would share my own results.
The packaging is second to none, with the lovely round box, glass jar with silver lid and then the thin plactic cover over the cream to retain as much as the scent as possible. The scent is fantastic, lathered up nicely and easily enough for a 3-4 pass with no problems.
So the question is: if money was not a factor in it, would I buy it again? In my case no I will not be buying it again for as much as i was hoping this would be the most heavenly shave a man can get unfortunatly for me is just was not, I could tell during the 2nd pass that it was not gliding well on my face and was going to get red razor burn on my neck and was not going to make a 3rd pass with it or would really be suffering for days.
So what did I do? I washed the lather away and got out the Ingrams cream and made a 3rd and 4th pass with that and saved my skin from hell and only have a tiny bit of redness caused from the ADP.
Now for me to make a fair comparison between the post I started on the Ingrams shave, I used the same brush, razor, fresh blade (no name brand from Tesco I think) and was only the cream had changed.
