Have you ever had a Shaving cream and soap you wanted to love soooooo bad but just couldn't? Well EJ Sea Buckhorn is that for me. I just love this scent! Period. But the lather? Not so much. It works but it just leaves me felling like it's a slimy glop. Now if Tobs or T&H or DRH or even castle forbes came out with it and I would be waving this scent from the rooftops like Jose!!!!!(inside joke)
Yes I had a great 2 pass with touch ups shave. Yes I am CFS. Maybe I'm being to hard on EJ. Like the beautiful girl everyone is telling you is hot but you're like, Nyah......
High class problems I know. The Army Navy was superb. Off to help out a friend. Hav a great day all.

I have had the same issue with EJ's Sandalwood Cream, although mine is the one in the plastic tub. I like the scent but I just can't get it to lather up correctly. Usually I feel like it isn't wet enough but then when I add a little water it just falls apart. Some of my issue might stem from my cheap brush though too. I'm not sure.

For me it was Tabac. I loved the lather, but the scent just wasn't for me. Good thing I found a new home for my Tabac products, where they are loved and cherished.

Just back from a concert with Mitch Walking Elk.
Nice songs from a native American and he also presented his book:
"There will be no surrender"
