Tried this sample tonight. I think the Lush products, though heavy on the parabens and coco butter, have a place in my rotation. I wouldn't use it but once or twice a week to give my face a really moisturizing, well cushioned shave. I went to the beach yesterday, and took a little more sun than I should have. The hot water on my face as I showered hurt! The shave with this cream was comfortable, though. Irritation free, and still a good close shave. For the most part, the razor glides, but toward the end of the shave I could detect a little gumminess to the cream, slowing the head of the razor. The smell of this cream is more subtle and less smokey than Razorantium. I won't be throwing the remainder of either sample out. I don't know yet if I would commit to a $20+ purchase of a tub of the stuff....

Glad to hear you've got something that works for you.
Seems unfortunate for them that the name would tend to alienate a small sector of people from their customer base, while their ingredient list puts off people that the name would appeal to.
Take care of that sunburn, hope you're feeling better soon.
I'm a big fan of Lush since my wife discovered them on our Honeymoon in Vancouver back in '03. Love their soaps, haven't tried their shaving stuff and am reluctant to enter the store without my wife (although the girls seem to love it when a straight man comes in). They have also had some great protest ideas against mass packaging: http://www.treehugger.com/files/2007/07/lush_goes_naked.php

Glad it works for you. With DE shaving I guess it would, but with a cartridge one it just clogs the blades and is impossible to remove!
I'm surprised by that.
I think this is one of the best shaving cream of the world !
