Finished reviewing this, here's the verdict:

"This is made in England, in small batches, or at least (that's) what is says on the box. It's only a plastic tube once you get past the box, but it is well designed. The branding's nice and some thought has obviously gone into the design. It may not seem like much but it does add a little something.

Performance was generally very good, though slickness was very reliant on working the lather properly and it seemed quite thirsty. Post shave feel was good too, combining well with the subtle clinging of the scent.

The fragrance definitely lives up to its description as sea salt, it even creates that salivating effect on the tongue that proper salt does. I'm not sure it's the sort of thing you'd fall in love with, but it's bright and breezy for those who shave in the morning.

It's normally £16, although you can knock that down to £14.40 if you select the subscribe and save option on their website. For that it needs to be a top-notice performer and, while this is good, it wasn't quite top-tier for me. If you want to try something different then it's worth a go for the scent alone though."
