E-Shave.... E being Excellent!

[JohnP]

e-Shave (almond btw) was the first "high-end" shave cream I ever tried some years ago and I still believe e-Shave creams are on par with any of the top notch creams getting attention on these forums.
Incidentally, I found mine consistency wise somewhere between Truefitt&Hill & Trumper (I've not tried the "new formulation" stuff yet).
e-Shave white tea is one of my all time favorite creams, and their almond is to me the best "amaretto type" (such as Trumper/T&H/etc etc) almond cream out there. (I also love C&E almond oil cream but it is a different sort of scent)
I seem to remember Guenron (you still around?) had probably every one they made.
The balms are also excellent but I've only tried those in sample form except for the white tea.
The scents are not that off the wall by the way.
e-Shave almond smells almost identical to Trumper almond, perhaps a slight bit richer.
e-Shave "floral" is simply a rose cream. Smells much like my tub of T&H Rose.
Of course they are the only white tea or cucumber game in town if those are your taste. Do a search, here, over at SMF, and if you want REALLY old reviews, over at MSN wetshavers. eShave has been consistently getting high reviews for years now.

So my soaps came in today - two days after placing the order. I ordered the Linden / avocado soaps, and right off the bat they smelled identical to Provence Sante. I noticed the smell through the plastic wrap, just like with my spare pucks of Provence Sante. They're the same color and opacity of Provence Sante. I've not yet shaved with them, but for some reason I'm thinking I have two more pucks of Provence Sante, cast into a somewhat different shape.

Not that I would ever complain about getting two more pucks of Provence Sante. I adore that soap.

Now I'm itching to try the cream. I have zero willpower.

Interesting.... the Lavender E-Shave soap I have is REALLY outstanding stuff, and is super moisturizing. I hate their metal bowls/containers (at least they aren't wood) but the soaps are simply fantastic.

Agree on the metal bowl. Had I paid full price I would have been miffed to see what my extra dinero yielded. Although I have no spare containers left, so I'd either have to evict a TGQ soap or buy more containers.

Shaved with the Linden / Avocado this morning and this too was outstanding. Easily as good as Provence Sante.

hi guys, new here.

But not new to shaving.

Incredibly, they sell E-shave products locally at Macy's gentlemans barber shop (Minneapolis, MN, Downtown). I picked up the Almond shave creme. I had been using the avacado bar soap. Love the creme. Works well! :) BTW anyone notice that the creme is made in ENGLAND? :)

Is this a barber shop located in a particular Macy's? I'd like to check it out as I occasionally head up to Minneapolis (was there last night in fact to get dinner and a movie). Perhaps this is the Macy's in the Nicollet Mall?

I appreciate any info. This would give me a good opportunity to check out the scents before buying. Thanks!

It is right in the heart of downtown minneapolis. This particular Macy is off 7th St and Nicollete Ave. The barber shop is on the 2nd floor (Skyway Level).

They actually have a barber that does straight razor shaves (using "disposable" straight blades).

I tried the eShave New York unscented after shave lotion and the cucumber after shave cream.
Both perform well and are top shelf

I picked up an eShave brush (pure) and some of the white tea products off ebay. The prices were so low I couldn't pass them up. I am very impressed with the build quality of the brush, though being Pure, it is scratchy.

The white tea shave cream seemed decent, but I don't think I used enough on my first try. Going to try more cream and possibly doing some superlather with it. Also the preshave oil that came with it was odd. I have never used the stuff before and I did not really think it made a difference. That combined with the bad odor and oily residue (who would guess oil would be oily!) left on my hands left me unimpressed.

What blew me away was the after shave cream (balm). It was super moisturing and a great change in scent. I have been using Aqua Velva Ice Balm for a while and the scent is rather horrid after a while. This white tea balm was incredible. I am still not 100% sure of my feeling toward the cream, but this balm is definitely going into my rotation. I also am digging this blue brush I have...the long handle works great in my large lathering mug.

I want this brush. I'm getting the clear one. I cant wait

This product is the first I've used since I started wet shaving with straights and DE , so have nothing to really compare, But it does seem like a fine product, I use the cucumber shave cream and aftershave. The brush also seems very good.
