C'mon guys, let's not be too harsh on Faulding/Shave - many of you may remember my attempt to stop the other shaving creams dissing it.
It can be found here http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php/167081-AWFUL-from-AUSTRALIA/page2 and I still think it's a perfectly acceptable shaving cream.
We're all just spoiled by TOBS and Proraso lathering up as soon as you look at them

Guys...Jump on the Wahl traditional barbers shave cream
It comes in a tub and it's by far THE BEST that I've ever used.
You can get it from "The shave shop" and will set you back about $10
Made in Acacia Ridge up here in QLD and I simply can't fault this stuff, smells great and works a treat.
This is the stuff

I'm not knocking it.
It might not lather as easily as the often loved Arko Regular, but I'd take it over Arko Regular any day as I'd get a lot less nicks.
Though I can honestly say I've never had problem face lathering Faulding's Shave

Waitaminit - Body Shop Macca Root shave cream is "brushless"?

Well, you can brush it a lot and get a millimeter thick layer. You can do the same with the other three brushless ones I mention too, but it's a bit of a waste of time, as you wind up with nearly as much of the cream in your brush as on your face.

Otoko lathers yes. I find it more thirsty than a regular soap (I mean quite a lot). When you think that your lather is right, add a few more drops of water otherwise it won't glide.
It's supposed to be for sensitive skins. I got no idea if that's right or not.

I've seen it in Shaver's Shop next to the Oriental one I mentioned.
I guess we're even more blessed down here than what I thought. I'll test that one out too.

Exactly! It lathers but, it takes a bit of work and extra water. Once you get a lather, it's really slick and give a great shave but, it's different. It has a light pleasant, but not exactly floral scent.

I've never had any problems lathering Fauldings. How are you using it? I just put the cream straight on a wet brush and then brush and lather it straight on my face.
I have a sample of the Trishave 3 in 1 anti-rash shave creme (with Tea Tree). I find it okay to shave with. But the smell

Has anyone used the creams sold at LUSH?
http://www.lush.com.au/shop/product/category/path/224_168/shaving-creams
I've used Prince before and liked it a lot but that was before I started with DE's.

Kind of bracing, isn't it?

Looks interesting, thanks.
I think the strong scent in those stores would keep most men out of them - I tended to accelerate past them quickly when I used to work in Melbourne.

Lol, glad to see I am not the only, I find it hard to keep my lunch down when I walk past their stores.
Yeah the LUSH stores have got quite a potent scent, I'm not sure how the the people working there handle it. It's been a while since I've used Prince but I'm almost at the end of a tube of Faulding so next time in I'm in the city I might pick up a small tub of the Dirty Shaving Cream. One thing I will say about these is you should use the relatively quickly as I remember the last one I got smelling a bit stale by the time I got to the end of it (about a year). Maybe go for the small tub. I don't think they have a lot of chemical preservatives in them.
I've also just been reminded again of this store in Brisbane and want to check out some of their products. I've had their hand made bath soaps before and they quite nice and all natural to boot!

I used to hang around with a woman who thought Lush was fabulous and was always going there and inhaling deeply. Frankly, it put me off their stores forever.

Hmmm - at the rate I'm currently going through my creams and soaps, it might be another 15 years before I get through a small tub of their cream.
It's surprising how many little manufacturers there are of shaving creams down here.
Cheers,
Renato
It's not really surprising when you consider roughly half the population is Male and eventually most will shave plus a good percentage of women shave some part of their body too. It's a pretty big market.
