Smells like victory!  Feels like a million bucks!
I purchased this from another site (Modern Man UK) at a lower price.  But about the product itself... fantastic.  Absolutely wonderful.  It has more of a &#34;croap&#34; type of texture, and very easily picks up on my badger brush, forming a dense, slick lather.  I don't normally do as well on the first go, as every soap/cream has its quirks -- but this one performed brilliantly on my first try.  Not only that, but I also decided to use this in combo with a brand new razor (an EJ) and a new blade (which can sometimes a bit rough on first use), both bad ideas when you're trying a new cream/soap for the first time.  Too many adjustments.  All those risks aside, the shave went PERFECTLY.  Not a nick, weep or burn.  Just a nice, clean shave and a fine smelling mug to show for it!<br /><br />Be aware that the scent can seem a bit strong while in use, but it tones down very nicely after shaving -- which makes me really appreciate the care with which the manufacturer scents their products.  As for the scent itself -- I took a while to really take to it, as again, it comes across a bit overpowering at first -- but it mellows into something unique -- all at once sweet, woodsy and spicy, but decidedly masculine -- if that makes any sense.  I highly recommend this product.
