Looks great! Any idea of price (ballpark)?
I think Joel got his hands on a development batch.
All I have to say is WOW, and hopefully they develop a cream for all their soap flavours like Mocha or Lime & Coconut...
Very friendly ingredient list, like he said - stuff you expect to see on a/s products.
The biggest surprise though? It looks like Joel was using a Rooney brush

Damn your eyes Joel! You are nothing but an enabler. Like you, I have migrated almost exclusively to the hard soaps. The only cream I rate in my top five lathers is Castle Forbes. Creams seem to be this way with soapaholics. We love our hard soaps to a ridiculous degree but have one certain cream that just stays at the top of our list. Mine is the CF lavender.
The first thing I noticed about this new cream is the leading ingredient; aloe juice. I quickly discovered that my face responds to aloe juice in very positive way. The old formula Vitaman from Aussie land was the BEST a/s gel I have ever used. Too bad they changed it. I have found nothing like it on my skin. So when I see aloe juice as the lead ingredient with this cream, along with all the other good stuff and little or no preservatives, it really got my attention. Just when I was getting to the bottom of my shave creams with no intention of buying any more save the CF, you have to go and review this one. I do agree with you that a Bulgarian lavender with its trace hint of mint notes is right up my alley.
Do you know if this is made in the U.S.A.? That would be a nice touch.
Regards, Todd

From the pictures, the product in the tub appears to have the same consistency as J.M. Frasers.

Ok - here's the skinny.....
Pricing should be somewhere around $15-18 per tub, which is a solid value for this cream, as it is full of natural ingredients, and you need very little of it. It should last longer than a tub of english shaving cream - so for 6+ months worth of shaves, depending on the size of your brush, and how much cream you use - it's a solid value.
The scents are not written in stone, so the lavender scent may change for the production version, and it will be offered in quite a few scents.
Now - here's a neat thing... place an order with Classic Shaving, and mention you are a member of B&B, and would like a sample of the shaving cream, and TA-DAH! you've got a free sample of their new cream!

I'm interested, as long as they offer more fragrances than just lavender.

Joel ~ Would you know if there's a planned release date?
Great info Joel ! Thanks again for the insight! Hopefully the release date will be before xmas. And as for the scents like I stated above, hopefully they have a number of scents from their soap line since they are simply delicious!

The cream should be available within the next few weeks. 
Im so excited and I just cant hide it!
I've got to say, I'm pretty darned happy about this. The world can always use more good shaving creams. Besides that, I've always had a fondness for Classic, partly because of Ray, and partly because they provided me with my first gear. But their soap gets no respect, so I am very excited to hear that the cream is really good stuff.

I would imagine they would start out w/ at least the "standards"....lavendar, sandalwood, lime....maybe rose & almond
time will tell I guess

I'd like to see a mint or Lime & Mint would be a nice addition to my collection and rotation.

Then you'll be pleased to hear they are re-formulating their soap as well!
