I just bought the sandalwood cream and I must say it's very nice. I don't see many posts about this brand. Any reason?
Way to go, AtreyuOcampo!Also just an FYI, theres been tons of posts regarding Art of shaving and/or their products, You just have to search the threads! You'll find many great threads here filled with posts from some of the most knowledgeable men ever here on B&B!
It is good stuff.
I would encourage you to try their products (they offer samples) and formulate YOUR OWN OPINION regarding The Art of Shaving. I've found that here on the forums, The Art of Shaving is giving far too much of a bad rap. I would also STRONGLY DISAGREE that The Art of Shaving is a beginners first stop. I have and will continue to have their products in my rotation along with my Truefitt & Hill, Proraso, Razorock, TOBS, Acqua di Parma, Martin de Candri, Trumpers, Penhaligons, Castle Forbes, and the list goes on and on.I just bought the sandalwood cream and I must say it's very nice.

You must be extremely NEW to B&B, with that I say welcome! and to answer your question, Thousands of us here have either used, or began our wet shaving journey's with Art of Shaving. The main cause as to why you think a lot of us don't mention their brand is because they are mainly over priced and not highly sought after. Their sandalwood cream, while it is enjoyed by many of us users here, Is not by any account the best or one of the best out there. A lot of their products are either, not that good or completely useless IMO. The products they do have that are great (razors mainly) are overpriced there. Art of shaving is a beginners first stop, and should remain the first and only. Once you step up, learn more, you will find glorious other products at better quality and at far better costs... If you're a cartridge shaver and are accustomed to just shaving for the sake of shaving and not into the craft or learning beyond what is the normal, then art of shaving is fine! If you're a wet shaver and are serious about mastering the craft and learning/trying products out in the world that will just make shaving a great experience rather than a chore, then art of shaving should be useless to you! I apologize if my response sounds in anyway biased, or offensive, i assure you its not. I'm just stating reality as far as it goes IMO. Some may disagree, and some may agree, but this is the best detailed answer I could give you as to why many of us tend to not really praise art of shaving.

Their price points are their price points. Ever priced a retail space at a high end mall lately? And in many cases, their software products are not as expensive as some of the products I've named above and as everyone on here leads one to believe. It's all relative. Good luck on your journey.

Except my AoS cream was almond. [snip] And that led to upgrading my 30 year old AoS badger with a nice Parker silvertip.
