    Default Spencer and Deveon?

    Anybody tried these? Saw them on uncrate. Seems as if they might be jumping on the bandwagon but that doesn't mean they can't be excellent creams.

    They sponsor the Mike O'meara show, so based on that alone, I'll buy a tub at some point.

    Never used but heard good things. Really like the spice ingredients.

    I want to buy a tub but since it is already 100 degrees here I will wait until the heat breaks so I do not have a cream cooking in my mailbox all day.

    I bought a tub of this last week. I really loved the way it smelled. I'm a big sage freak. The cream is very "loose", but whips up to a delicious lather. It takes more water than one would expect. I've shaved with it four times and each shave was great. Very pleased with this product.

    I'm glad you posted about this being loose. I also bought the sage a couple weeks ago, and I thought it had melted in the heat while shipping. I've stirred, let it stand open, refrigerated, and whipped, but it's still "loose."

    And yeah, the performance is very nice, but the scent seems to disappear shortly after shaving and it doesn't smell near as nice once rinsed off my skin as it does while whipped in the bowl. Even my dried brush doesn't smell that nice. YMMV, and all that.

    I emailed Spencer and Devon regarding samples, their reply was "We do not have commercially available samples. We send extra samples to prospective customers if requested. The price is $10 post-paid." I replied back that I would like to purchase the samples but did not hear back. I have read mixed reviews of this product. I would have loved to sample and review their product but have moved on. I recently purchased samples of Twinluxe through Paypal and rec'vd the product the same week. I loved the Twinluxe aftershave balm and will purchase next payday and post review.

    Why is it the only two posts made by this user are the exact same thing, each in different threads of the same product? The other thread with same post for reference. Are you affiliated with Twinluxe?

    I've got both the spice and the sagebrush. They are both great performers and and at the top of my rotation. I prefer the scent of the sagebrush more than the spice. To me, the spice has undertones of a "Raid" (bug killer) smell. The sagebrush on the other hand is a nice, somewhat woodsy, scent. It isn't an inexpensive cream, but you get a large tub that will last a while.
