Spencer & Devon Spice

I finally got around to trying some Spencer & Devon Spice that was given to me. I wasn't sure what to expect but the shave turned out good. It's a soft cream in a tub and a little bit goes a long way. It's a thirsty cream but it makes a nice thick lather which I like. The scent is a mild spicy scent reminiscent of a bay rum that lasts through out the shave. The cushion/glide is good and it rinses off with a couple of splashes. Here is what's on their website:

"This smooth, thick cream has an aloe vera base, shea butter for extra emollience and a host of great ingredients that nourish your skin while protecting it. With our shaving cream, you will have a great shave. Our Spice scent is sophisticated, with an intriguing hint of the Far East. It is the perfect accent to start you going in the morning and last long into the evening. The exotic scents of cinnamon, bergamot and mandarin essential oils combine to create a hint of mystery.

• Contains Shea Butter for emollience
• Aloe Vera is #1 ingredient
• Kaolin Clay reduces razor friction and increases razor glide
• Salicylic Acid helps reduce bumps and irritation
• Olive and Avocado Oils provide nutrients and antioxidants
• Loaded with botanical extracts to soothe skin, reduce irritation, and add comfort
• Great for double edge wet-shavers"

I don't know about the scent lasting "long into the evening" but it's a nice scent. I shaved with a straight and did some touch ups with a safety razor and finished it off with some Captain's Choice Bay Rum. Made for a nice combination. I'll be keeping this in my rotation for a while and see if I can tell any difference in my skin.
