A Great New UK Cream (Fendrihan Cobranded)

Fendrihan just brought out there new line of creams from the UK so I thought I would one and see what they were like. I was originally going to try their Aloe water version but settled on their Euro scent instead because I like the fragrance notes (bergamot, cedar, lemon and patchouli). I won't list the ingredients, but they are very similar to other UK creams and you can take a look here Fendrihan Shaving Creams - Made in England with main ingredients being stearic acid, myristic acid, potassium hydroxide coconut oil, and glycerin and probably most similar to GFT.

It arrived today and I tried my first shave on it and wasn't disappointed. This is very similar to other UK creams such as TOBS, St James, and GFT. Scent strength was pretty much middle of the road, neither really strong but not weak either and lasted through out the shave. The scent was pleasant but nothing that leapt out at me, I liked it but didn't love it. Lather production was very quick and easy as would be expected and the lather was voluminous, protective and slick like other UK creams. In shave performance was top notch but post shave was also typical in being rather mediocre and those who have dryer skin will probably find it a bit drying like other creams of this type.

Overall, if you like the UK creams this is something that you will want to try, and it's substantially less than TOBS ($16.95 vice $21.50 Canadian at Fendrihan) and performs about as well as TOBS and GFT.
Thanks for posting your review of this new cream. I see they have a 5 scent sampler for $4.99. Certainly worth a try for that price.
 
Definitely, let me know what you think.
I am going to hold off buying any more soaps and creams for now...even samples. I am on a minimalist kick so I am trying to use up my stock...not buy more. I will need to wait until I enter a relapse phase of my soap acquisition disorder.
