 Good stuff, easy to use. August 17, 2010
Basil Bourque
It's my first try at old-fashioned safety razor shaving with my stiff beard. This shaving cream made it easy.
I skip the mixing bowl. While the bowl makes lots of fun lather, I only need a thin layer for the razor to slide over. Just a finger-tip dab of this soft cream on each cheek and each side of the throat. Then I swirl it around on my skin with the moistened badger brush (Omega Stripey 100% Pure Badger Shaving Brush with Stand-#63171 Made in Italy). Then wait a couple minutes to soak in. Then stir up the skin again.
I slide the razor (Derby Extra Double Edge Razor Blades) with a slight tilt along the grain of my beard. The big trick is learning not to press. After years of those big-name but lame disposable razors, I need to unlearn the press-and-scrape backhoe-against-dirt technique. Instead, it's a light-handed glide-and-slide along the slick surface of this shaving cream, like an ice-skater on a frozen pond.
For the heavy beard on my throat, I use the same brush again. No need to add more cream. Then shave diagonal across the grain.
This cream works wonders. This newbie has yet to cut himself. While the price seems high, using just a dab a day means it will last months if not years. The scent is like almond extract, but subtle.
Old-fashioned shaving is so simple, fun, cheap, and easy, I wish I'd switched sooner.
 Great Stuff! August 5, 2010

I had read numerous reviews and articles about getting "the perfect wet shave" before choosing this product and I was thoroughly pleased with the outcome of my decision making. Taylor of Old Bond Street products are the ultimate moisture locking and aromatic known to man-kind. I have used the almond shaving cream with a fairly expensive brush and I never get skin irritation as I used to. I still use my Gillette fusion and the real difference was in the shaving cream. I just finished my first tub of this stuff and it lasted me over 6 months of regular shaving. Great buy! Looking forward to trying the other scents and maybe the soaps too.
