Well the Penhaligon's Endymion Shaving Cream has to be one of the nicest creams I've tried in quite awhile...for some reason it had an incredibly recognizable scent, had a great presence, my wife and son both lit up right away and remarked how nice it was.
Just a little bit of this stuff goes a long way, a real full, creamy lather that burst with one of the nicest scents I've come across in quite awhile - this stuff, in my opinion, is Tier 1 all the way and will be a permanent fixture without a doubt - highly recommend.
I have a couple of Penhaligon's creams and agree with Obie that the soaps are not in the same tier as the creams. I did a super lather yesterday (both Blenheim Bouquet) and this gave a great result however so might do this until the soap is used up.
I am reluctant to buy more soaps before I use up a few T2s and below... May take a while to run these down...
I have a question concerning the Blenheim Bouquet cream for you guys that are sensitive to scented creams...Does it irritate your skin? Some scented creams light my face up. I have had Harris Marlborough cream that was very irritating and Truefitt & Hill Trafalgar felt a bit hot. Harris Arlington and Windsor soaps nor the T &H West Indian Limes cream irritated my skin.
I am in your shoes, my friend. My skin is ultra sensitive and my beard heavy. Go figure. Many soaps and creams, especially the scented ones, torch my skin. It has been a while since I have used Penhaligon's. If I recall, the cream worked well on my skin. I am going from memory, though, so let's wait for the other users to join the conversation.
So I received my tin of Klar Klassik which I tried out this morning. Superb shaving soap with a very luxurious lather and scent. The frangrance reminds me of fancy hotel soap. Highly recommended and likely to be a permanent soap in my rotation.
