I was in the Body Shop the other day and looked at their cream. I didn't make the purchase but I am curious as to how it performs.

I would definitely recommend it. Great performance.
Consider waiting until there is a sale, especially if you are considering getting the matching balm. They come up very often.
Thumbs up from me, for sure

It gives a good thick lather in a few seconds, with a fresh natural scent. You know the "spirit" of The Body Shop, vegan friendly and bio.

I just want to jump in and say that it is a very good shave cream and rarely gets a mention on forums.

Strops--SRD Premium 1 and Illinois 6454.
Soap--Tabac.
Brush--Restored EverReady.
Aftershave--Alum block, Dickinson's witch hazel, and a generous dab of Mennen Afta.
Result--4 pass bbs. After Outback tortured me last week with his frame backs I took the plunge and bought one on flea bay. After my usual hone progression I used a translucent Arkie for a finish hone and this was a test shave. Super sharp and comfortable edge, this razor will go into my regular rotation. Thanks Mike. You gents have a great evening. Look sharp and smell nice for the ladies.

I can attest, Benz sent me some pics from the bay....she's a real looker.!!! Think NOS, and you got the picture.

For the money, it is a very good cream. It should get more mention than it does.
