Thanks. Looks enticicing, but at $72.00 for 100 ml. I am going to have to pass. If you look at the ingredients, you may find it not much different than what is in the Udderly Smooth body cream. Looks like nice reviews at westcoast shaving (2 reviews).

When I first started shaving, back in the early 1970s we had Aqua Velva, Old Spice and just a very few others to choose from at the drug store in Oshkosh, NE. Still like the scent of Old Spice. But nowadays there seems to be a huge selection of very exotic balms and creams. I'm wondering if there was anything made in America that had Almond smell to it.

I happened to run across this product just now, on the Fendrihan website; and yes, 'tis pricey. However... the reason I was poking around there was that before shaving I'd been rummaging in my box of freebies and came up with this sample (see below), which I used right after shaving with my favorite Cyril R. Salter Almond shaving cream. Very nice stuff. The sweet almond is immediately present, but it fades all too quickly and the scent of the other aromatic ingredient (menthol) remains.
