One of my buddies recently got into wet shaving and he says he likes the VDH shave butter quite a bit. I haven't tried it myself, and don't think I ever will.
I like VDH Shave Butter also. I am getting very close, smooth, pleasant shaves without nicks, cuts or irritation. The post shave feel is excellent and ranks closely with Mitchell’s Wool Fat. A good product to keep in rotation.I'm a big fan of Van Der Hagen shave butter and prefer it to Cremo. From reading prior comments, I seem to be in the minority on this product. I don't miss the lathering of other products and get a great shave with my collection of DE razors, both closed and open combs. It takes just a small amount of the shave butter rubbed into your face to give you good protection from nicks and a smooth shave. I also like the aroma (Sandalwood). Even after shaving and showering, the shave butter leaves my face moisturized.

Not very slick at all. Not very cushioning. Without either of those properties, any shave cream is useless. This product works, but it's mediocre at best. With so many choices today, there is no reason to bother with this product. It's not that it is so cheap that you need to suffer through it. At a similar price point, you can do much, much better. It is so mediocre that after using it just a few times, I won't finish the tube. Likely to hit the waste basket.
