I think you're referring to The Art Of Shaving. No I've not been there. I've heard good things about their shave creams but they are pretty pricey and from what I've heard the staff aren't very knowledgeable about anything beyond what's in the store.

That can be difficult to say, kinda depends on how often you shave and how much you use per shave. At minimum 3-5 months to maybe more than a year I'd say for the cream. When I had a beard, I had shaving cream last years... The AS is impossible for me to say, never used any.

Hello and welcome aboard! I'm also in Virginia, down in the Hampton Roads area about 15 miles south of Norfolk. I haven't tried the Esbjerg (yet!) but I regularly use the Baume.be cream, which comes in the same size jar. I'd say the 3 - 5 month estimate is spot on, you'll probably end up using less per shave as you gain experience. Even after a couple of decades, I still tend to overload my brush when using a new soap or cream and back down once I've gotten a feel for it. Good luck and enjoy!

So i got in the shaving cream and after shave gel. The cream is a pretty good size and it builds a good later even for a newbie like me. The smell is very earthy and im not sure if i like it. But it is a good product and i am happy with it. I think i am going to try some proraso products if i can sneak them in with the next order. Would like to try the sandlewood line.
