    I'll be interested to hear your opinion. I like the Maca Root they sell. I have enough soaps and creams to last many years but another one cant hurt.

    Just got some and will give it a go in the am.
    At 75% off ($2.20 USD) I couldn't pass it up. Hopefully it doesn't end up in the reject drawer with Burt's Bees' shave cream.

    Bodyshop, Bath and Bodyworks, Bed Bath and Beyond; it's hard to keep them straight.

    I tried the Ocean from BBW yesterday and have only good things to say. It was a comfortable shave with no burn or irritation.

    I did my normal prep and used an old GEM which is a proven performer. Put about a two inch plus squeeze in a shaving mug and started whipping up a lather. Ehhh, that was probably twice as much product as was needed. I added water and added water until the lather was ready. I had plenty of lather left over.

    Was the Ocean as good as the old ProRazo? I will say my first experience was very close and without the tingling. Is this stuff made by ProRazo?

    Today, I will use about a one inch squeeze and see how that works.

    While in BBW I noticed there was a shaving cream for the ladies. I should have gotten a tube but the Swiss Miss had me in her sights so I knew not to push the spending.

    Is it meant for brushes, or is it one of those "brushless creams"?

    The instructions are:
    "Massage onto face with wet hands or brush to build up a great lather, shave and rinse"

    I used the BBW Ocean again today with a Shumate. Followed my usual prep routine but as before built the lather in a mug. Cut back on the product to about 1 and 1/2 inches. Still plenty of lather after my usual two pass shave. The next shave I will try the "almond" size recommended for some creams. For the record I have never gotten a good lather with an "almond" size ProRazo. Our house water is softened.

    The cream contains aloe and vitamin E.

    The scent is a "fresh blend of cypress, vetiver and yuzu". I never heard of yuzu.

    Online a 6 oz (177 ml) tube is $11 USD with a buy two and get the third tube free. The store had it as stated for $2.20 USD but no volume discount.

    I like the scent, but wasn't happy with the lather. Seemed airy and foamy. I'm sticking with the Bigelow and Proraso.

    I agree it is not quite the old, green ProRazo but I prefer soap (Tabac, Trumper, Crabtree etc.).

    How much product did you use?

    But, for $2.20 it is a good fallback.

    The AOS Kelp had a much better scent than BBW Ocean if the Ocean scent is supposed to be an "ocean" scent.
