Hello all! Figured I'd drop in my two cents on the ol' Derby Shaving cream. I did a lather test...as I always do when I get a new product. I've done the same with soaps and have a review of several up in the soap forum.
I'll be using the same review system as I did there. With the exception of "Ease of Load" as it does not apply to a cream.
Factors will be rated from 1 (Worst) to 10 (Best). 1 - 3 is bad. 4 - 7 is good. 8-10 is
phenomenal
I love lavender. It's a relaxing scent that just does a wonderful job of making a shave more pleasant. So when I saw Derby Cream - I saw an opportunity to try cream for a good price and with a proven scent for me.
The price I paid was $6 shipped...which is not the best deal on it. That comes to roughly $1.71 an ounce. The best I found is on Amazon, where a pack of 12 goes for $26 - that's a whopping 61 cents an ounce. Not bad an all.
For the test lather I did a bowl lather, which I am admittedly weak in. I used a cereal bowl and an Omega Hi-Brush.
Origin: Turkey
Price: $0.61 per ounce
Has anyone else used this stuff? For the price it really seems like a kick butt product.
