A month or so back I started a thread asking about Sebum Gold aftershave, seemed like no one had tried it.
Here is the old thread
Sē'bŭm Gold
I decided to give it a try, I ordered it and anxiously awaited its arrival.
Before I post my thought on the AS let me say I have ZERO connection to the company, I paid full price for the product.
The product was shipped immediately and I received a tracking number later on that day, it arrived in 2 days from Boston, I live in Rhode Island so that would be about right.
The packaging is perfect, second to none. The bottle is heavy with very nicely done labels and a wax seal.
The ingredients are mostly oils
The scent is woodsy, very mild but present, reminds of fresh sawdust much more than forest woodsy.
I tore off the wax seal and found a nice spigot that dispenses one drop at a time, a nice feature given the price of SG
At the next shave, I used 5 drops and ran out of product to cover the entire face, next shave I find that 6-7 works well to cover my face entirely.
The immediate post shave feel is great, a little oily but not overly so, it gets absorbed quickly and the skin feels moisturized and not oily. A few hours later I would say the scent is mostly gone but the face feel is again smooth and still feels moisturized. I found myself faceturbating all day.
I have run side by side trial using SG and other AS and the SG side always feels better. I have many, many, many (don't let my wife see this) aftershaves that include creams and splashes and I can honestly say it is the best AS i have used.
Is it worth the $125 price tag? That is up to everyone to decide.
I have done some rationalization, I had to justify the price.
The bottle is 148ml, there are about 0.05ml per drop (google search), given I use 7 drops per application I am using 0.35mls I should get about 422 uses, so it works out to $0.30 a shave. More expensive than other aftershaves for sure, but heck, I am worth it.
When you order you will receive updates and this morning I got an update and the SG is now selling for $75 + shipping, I ordered another bottle.
Again I have ZERO connection to this company but I do find the product very much worthy and wanted to share.
Thank you, gentlemen, for reading.
