This is the stuff:
Well, I've had this stuff for just under a month now and feel it's time to reflect upon it's performance.
I'm unfortunate enough to have extremely sensitive skin, it's extremely hard for me to achieve any kind of shave without some level of redness and irritation, regardless of what I use. Recently, palmolive cream, which is a superb budget benchmark had been performing well. A birthday meant that this fell in my lap.
Scent: Gorgeous subtle and masculine smell. It's fresh, and crisp, lingers around for a little while too. It perks up any sleepy morning.
Latherability: It takes very little effort, skill or patience to make this stuff explode into a lovely rich lather. Im a face latherer (because I dont have the time or inclination to do otherwise). A wet brush, shaken once or twice till its wet but not soaking, a finger tip sized dod of the cream applied to the top of the brush, and applied to face, results in massive lather, very smooth, thick and protective. It provides great razor glide.
Irritation: absolutely none on the back of this cream, my face is left feeling smooth, relaxed and with absolutely no pain at all. Combined with my recent move to an Edwin Jagger DE87 razor, and Gillette blades. I'm now achieving the smoothest and most pleasant shaves I've ever had. Enough so, that I can now shave in the morning before work. Something my skin would NEVER tolerate before.
WOuld be very interested to hear peoples experience with this cream, and if they can recommend others that are very like it in capability. The T&H extreme comfort sounds interesting.
