Used the cream today and initially I wasn't that impressed, but then realised that using a very new Body Shop brush is hardly a good start! The brush aside, it lathered up nicely and did feel very good on my face and the 50p worth I put in the brush was enough for 4 passes and a touch up. Was trying for the all elusive BBS, and failed, again. Overall I thought this was a good cream, better than the Palmolive IMHO and I shall give it a go using my EJ badger next time.
