Thread: New creams

Ordered these two from srd on Sat morning, they arrived today can't believe how fast they got here. Pretty excited to try them both, it's been since Sept 14 since I've bought any new creme (don't use soap). Any suggestions on either to get the best lather would be appreciated.

I would really like to hear what you have to say about the black pepper and lime.

I just caved and ordered some acqua di parma. I told myself I wouldn't buy expensive soaps/creams anymore after I was severely dissappointed by xpec. I'm also curious about how the black pepper and lime performs.

Made some lather with the xpec, wasn't overly impressed. Then tried the St James, with no effort and I'm talking 10 secs this lather was built

how would you speak of the scent of the black pepper, i feel like such a smell could be either very nice or totally awful

It was really slick. My face was a little raw because I over shaved on Saturday, but it was slick and comfortable. The scent wasn't over bearing, I liked it and the wife does too. I can smell it still.

bet I would give the XPEC another try. It is as good as it gets. Let us know how it works out.

Yes, give the XPEC another try, and judging by your photo, use more water next time.

St. James is an excellent cream.

The new formula Expec is a good cream but not worth the price. There are a lot of creams just as good at half the price.
