The 3 worst soaps I know of are the infamous Godrej puck,Caswell-Massey puck and the Wilkinson puck in the blue plastic tub.The German Wilkinson blades are good,I use them,but , IMHO, they are inferior to the old British sword blades.I was hesitant to review the German Wilkinson cream, I thought there would be many others already posted,but a search revealed almost nothing !...After 3 shaves,with 3 different brushes,I feel this cream rates a "fair-good" rating. The lather is a little thin,the lube is mediocre,and the lasting power leaves a lot to be desired.This nice thick aluminum tube,with a great coumarin-citrus scent ,was a gift from a good friend in Croatia,but I do not think I would buy it. It is far, far better than the Wilkinson puck,you can actually get a decent shave with the cream,but there are just SO many other creams,much better in quality,I could not justify purchasing this one.

Nice review, I would suggest trying the Wilkinson Sword Shave Stick. Totally different formulation than the blue bowl. It will probably win this shave cream too as the blue stick has tallow.
thanks for the review , ill be sure to stay away!

I have not had a shave with the stick,but from the other reviews , the stick may be the last really good Wilkinson product...I remember paying extra back in the 60's for the Wilkinson Sheffield ultra thin sword blades...what shaves they gave ! really thin,really sharp,and yet they were slick and smooth with every stroke,the German blades just don't have the same attributes..
Thanks for the review!
Excellent review, thanks for sharing!
