I got it from Connaught shaving a couple months ago (great service,by the way)and Im pretty happy with it.Its not as protective or slick as Acca Kappa 1869 shaving cream or Dovo,but provides a good skin care,and thats what it matters to me.I like its scent too but being from J&E,I would have loved it to smelled like their famous lavander cologne.
