Can't seem to find any reviews and these look brand new. Anyone have any early mail on them?

I should be able to give it a try by the end of the week, will definitely post my impressions. If it's as good as the luxury shave cream it'll be a staple for me.

Got both products in yesterday, and had time for a shave today. Used the Skin Food post shave. I had pretty high expectations, since I was very pleased with the shave cream. I initially tried a dime sized amount, and it was way too much. Even patting off some with a towel I could tell it was going to be too much to absorb. I rinsed off and tried again with a bit less than a pea-size amount. It's a sort of watery cream, almost completely scentless. It absorbed in less than a minute, very soothing feeling. The real remarkable thing is the skin finish it leaves, like cool silk. It's pretty expensive stuff, but it certainly gives performance way above average. Also, with that tiny amount being all that was needed, the tube will last practically forever.

Thanks Jay - did you order direct from Simpsons?

Mine were ordered from Phil at Bullgoose. I didn't check Simpsons price before ordering.
