Now then. You had better believe that this is what the stuff smells like. CF gives you the undiluted smell. Might resemble moulded folders, but that is what you ordered.

It won't make you happy, then. I did a little lime shaving cream shoot out the other day. CF came up first. Not least because it smells like fresh lime. Admittedly, that is a bit different from your Caipirinha on the Clapham bus. But only because they use synthetic flavours.

CF or bust, as our Americans cousins might say. Damn bloody expensive, but worth every penny. If you're going down the leg shave route, you might not need the pre shave. For a straight shave, it just might give you the little extra in terms of comfort. No scent, which is good. There is a very wordy review over at the B&B's which you might actually find useful.

As for the aftershave, I could not live without it. But the scent is intense, although it will not stick for very long.
