This cream surprised me with how well it performs. It is NOT a lathering cream, so trying to add water or whip it up is a pointless exercise. Smeared directly on with the fingers, it applies cleanly and gives a great shave.
Price – I have to give it poor marks here. OK, at $34 for a 150g/5.2oz tub it’s far from the most expensive cream out there. However, you end up using so much of the product...
I won a tub of this soap from Jordan at Against the Grain Shaving http://www.againstthegrain.ecrater.com/ in one of their contests on B+B but lost custody of it pretty quickly to my wife, who added it to her shave den as soon as it showed up. I've been a bit of a soap snob lately, but shame on me because this turns out to be a pretty good shaving soap.
Packaging - comes in a nice plastic tub with a tight-fitting screwtop lid. Definitely worth saving and re-using.
Price - $14.95 seems...
