eShave "White Tea" cream in action. PICS

[JohnP]

Hi folks, I'm sure many of you may already know it, but eShave is good stuff. I rate it as somewhere between Taylor and Trumper, it has the approximate consistency of Trumper creams I've used, but the skin softening qualities of Taylors, specifically, IMHO, Taylor Avocado.
I like AOS, but I think Eric Malka's sister has him beat, as I think the eShave cream is better than AOS....
without further fuss, here's the pics.

First, the container it comes in-this is a two part container (with an outer shell and a liner) for those of you who like taking the liner out to use the container for lather....you can.

and viewing the cream from the top, you can see the pearly, Trumper-like consistency achieved by the eShave cream. (I have only tried two versions of eShave so far, but both were exactly the same consistency)

Now, to the important stuff....starting with wetting the brush (a fine brush indeed!) followed by shaking off the excess...

A dab of cream-it doesn't take a lot, even with the lather-hog SMF:

Building a lather: I used a ziploc storage bowl....not fancy, but you can get one almost anywhere-more importantly, it works:

(I should add that while some have begun to have problems with their SMF brushes, I have actually become more and more fond of my brush as time goes on; thanks Joel...)

And finally, the prerequisite pic of the brush, absolutely LOADED with hot lather, and that wonderful white tea scent everywhere....for those bloggers out there who compare this to exchanging porn....this is the MONEY SHOT!!:001_tt2:

(sorry had to throw in a jab....heh heh heh )
IMHO this stuff DESERVES a spot in your rotations.....and not just because "Hey, it actually works", (see my L'Occitane or headslick reviews) but because not only does it work, its GOOD!.
It definitely has earned a spot in my rotation.

Thanks for sharing.

[JohnP]

It really DOES smell nice, too.....next time you are at the mall, stop by a Sephora (where I bought mine) and give it a whiff...
I don't know, maybe they even would let you make a sample; the store I went to had "tester" tubs-only one way I know of to "test" a shaving cream.....:biggrin:

Nice review.

Perfect timing John!

I just ordered their cucumber shaving cream and after shave.

I have yet to try any of the eShave aftershaves, although I am anxious to see how they do. ( I don't have any of them at the moment)

Greetings JohnP, et al.
The minisampler provides three samples of êShave Aftershave Creams. Those included were the Soother, Cucumber, and White Tea. The Soother seemed to have the "HEAVY DUTY" moisturizers and anti feu agents. All three were very pleasant to use, with the White Tea and Cucumber absorbing at about the same rate and the Soother taking a bit longer. The Soother did not have any remarkable fragrance, whereas the White Tea and Cucumber had their namesakes fragrances. Once again pleasant.
Let me know what you think.:a12:
