Rawleigh Shaving Cream

[gearchow]

found this yesterday at an estate sale





After unplugging the top and squeezing out a bit, it's like all of the vintage shaving creams I've found - separated, but not too badly. It smells nice, I swear it smells a bit of rose. I managed to get some of the cream out mixed with the clear liquid and did a test lather using a brush and my hand. Seemed pretty nice, so I'm going to give it a go in a bit. I haven't shaved for a few days, so lets see how it goes.

That tube looks like the very last offering from Rawleigh..

It was a pretty good shave, I like this cream. A little bit went a long way and more water did the trick, just like the instructions said.

I wonder why they got out of the shaving soap biz. Think it was at the time that canned cream/goo had the market share and the margins weren't worth it?
