Original Barber's Products shaving cream disappointment
2 days ago in SOTD thread I posted my new findings along with my SOTD set.
I will repeat it here. Now I'm on vacation in France (ski resort) and in local pharmacy I found small shaving corner with different foams, aftershaves, l'Occitane products, and whole line of Original Barber's Products (pre-shave, oil, aftershave, etc.).
I decided and bought l'Occitane cade aftershave and OBP shaving cream.
Here is my picture from SOTD thread

Cream was sealed and I can't open it in shop and it was not cheap (25$), other OBP products also not cheap, for example aftershave cost more that 30$.
When I came home I found that cream not exactly a cream, but more like gel.
Today I give it a try. So it some semitransparent liquid, more gel than cream. It's absolutely useless to try to lather it with brush (in spite of how much water I add). It can be applied by hand, but lather disappear after few seconds. It still give a glide, but you can't see it. I hate transparent lather!
It smell almost exactly like Gillete gel to me.

I can't comment other OBP, as I haven't tried them. But disappointed that I haven't choosed l'Occitane shaving soap instead.
OBP local French company.
