SCS Oakmoss Lavendula AS Cream

[miamimoe]

As promised, I update you on the last of the 3 after shave products purchased from SCS. Today I used SCS Oakmoss Lavendula AS Cream, after a shave with the matching soap. All I can say is that I am now an SCS acolyte.

While it is called a cream on the bottle, it is much more of a thick balm. It is certainly not a milk. This stuff has a lovely outdoorsy smell that is hard to describe. I will have to settle for the word: "pleasing". It is a mild lavender that is oh so easy on the nose. It's skin soothing properties are first rate, and as with the other two SCS products I have used recently-Avocado oil balm and Mediterranean Citrus splash, a little goes a long way.

This product may be my favorite of the three, although I would hate to have to choose. The Oakmoss Lavendula is very soothing and calms the skin almost immediately. It dries to a nice soft finish, and is certainly less noticeable than the other two products, which is not a knock on them, as both have earned a spot in the rotation. This product also contains a tad of menthol, but as I noted with the Avocado oil balm and Mediterranean Citrus splash, it is just the right amount. I am not one of those guys that likes to get his face shoved into a mountain snowdrift in the morning right after a shave. In this case, as with the other two products, the menthol "kick" is just right-cooling, but not overly so. The other goodies calm and condition the skin, and leave it just right for the application of an alcohol EDT or cologne. A matching EDT/cologone would be the bomb on this. All in all, the SCS crew has done it again! Kudos to Sue and the gang on another great product. Will order more soaps, creams, balms and splashes on the next go round. I urge all to support and buy from SCS.

Welcome to the SCS Fanboy club. You need to score the O&L edt to compliment your shave experience. It is quite nice. I actually had the edt first and then worked my way back to the shave cream and aftershave cream.

Pretty sure they already have one.


And I, like you, have found the SCS aftershaves and soaps to be amazingly good.

I have this ASB as well and I think it is one of the better products that they make. Atleast it was one of my favorite from the spread I purchased.

Very nice woodsey scent with a hint of lavender and a touch of menthol. It's good stuff.

I picked this up during the 4th sale and am really impressed. In fact, I'm really impressed with all the SCS A/S's I picked up, but this may be my favorite. Great scent and a very effective A/S.

After trying these, I now want to try the entire SCS A/S lineup I guess their 4th of July sale worked on me. For the price, I don't think you can find better aftershaves.

All the products I've tried so far only take a very little amount of product to be effective. Given that, I expect these to last a very long time, upon which I will be re-ordering.

I have only used mine once, but liked it as well. I took an early evening shower and shave after getting some sun and mosquito bites in the afternoon. The O&L aftershave felt really nice on the skin, frankly better than I had expected. The scent is good and very familiar but I can't quite figure out why it is so familiar.
