Spencer & Devon Shaving Creams

[buffdaddy]

Hi All,

Anybody familiar with this brand? Saw it advertised on Uncrate and decided to check out their website. Seems like it's made with some decent stuff and comes in 3 scents (unscented, spice, sagerbrush). But at $27.50 for a 8oz puck it seems like you can get some more established brands like TOS or several tubes of Proraso.

No

I think you answered your own question.

They sponsor the Mike O'Meara show podcast, so I will buy some to support the show when I have the need and let everyone know what I think.

I have the Sage version and like it alot. Nice sage scent to the cream that stays through the shave but doesn't linger. So easy to lather it's amazing. It's a bit pricey but you get quite a bit. I figure, using the container every day, it will last 2 years or so. Figuring it that way, it's pretty inexpensive.

I've tried the Sagebrush and Spice. Both are really good creams....I'm just not crazy about the scents.

I have the unscented and like it a lot. Very rich in Shea butter. It stays in my rotation.

I see this brand has an ad when you log off B&B so I assume it's good

It's good stuff. I've used it. A bit overpriced, IMO.

i just shaved my head using this sagebrush cream.....really nice functioning cream that gave a clean shave without nicks...i like that the cream has some awesome ingredients in it.

I have both the Sage and Unscented versions and enjoy them immensley. Both develop a Very thick and protective lather. I like the sage scent but many B+B contributors seem to dislike the scent. Also,when you mention the $27 pricetag,please remember that you are getting a huge jar. 8 oz(240 mg). If I recall correctly,I got the Uncented jars from Bullgoose Shaving at 50% off. It was a steal. They were having a closeout I think. At any rate,its very good stuff,IMO.

I've been hoping to see this cream in Gary's Sample lineup.

I would probably never have bought it, but I won the Spice in a contest elsewhere on the net, and I'm glad I did.

It's a really nice cream, makes a very slick lather and leaves the face feeling nice. It also takes a bit less product to make a good lather than was my experience with TOBS and Musgo Real.

They definitely have an uphill battle though - top tier performance, top tier ingredients, top tier price... but bottom tier visibility.

Russ, the VP at Spencer & Devon, has expressed interest in working with Garry to offer samples of his creams. Now we just have to convince Garry that people would buy it if he offered it. I was planning to drop Garry a note about some EdT decants, and I'll ask him what he thinks about offering S&D samples.

I'm on my second full tub of Spencer & Devon unscented these days. The first one last almost 5 months as my primary cream.

You get a whopping 8oz for the price. It's not overpriced at all.

This thread inspired me to pull out my tub of Spice last night. A great shave as always.
