Thread: Art Of Shaving creams - any good?

Hiya,

I've had excellent results using the AOS lemon and unscented creams. The lemon is a mild scented single note cream with no sweetness added. Very nice, but subtle.

I use the unscented often, and I add various fragrances to small batches. It's like having an unlimited choice of shaving creams to use.

The main thing though is the performance.......one of my favorites. Very easy to lather, and the results are thick, slick and protective.

It's $22 for a 5 ounce tub, which isn't out of line for what you get. I believe this company uses only EO's for their fragrances, and I know their version of sandalwood smells like the real deal(Mysore).

Anyway, sounds like you'll see for yourself soon enough. I've used the lavender in the past, and it's a medium scented cream that should please your sniffer.

+1 with the AOS products. I have the Sandalwood Cream, Lavendar, and the Rose. Fragrance, great...Lather great...No complaints here. I have the AOS Sandalwood pre shave oil. It's quite thick, and warming it up first gives better results.

If you have sensitive skin to fragrance you need to watch the Lavender and the Sandlewood... These are pretty strongly scented, they are right at my maximum, The lather is rich and smooth with a good deal of cushion...

Thanks for everyones comments and advice. This morning I went out and bought a tub of the lavender cream.

Tested it about an hour ago. Great stuff! My first experience with a cream, although Ive got a selection of different soaps. U really only need a few drops of the stuff - a little goes a long way!

As Im on vacation I only have my Wapi with me, but the cream helped me to get an excellent shave. Its so different to soaps.

I found it easier in a lot of ways as I can lather straight onto my face and dont have much washing up to do afterwards!

The AOS cream is soft, rich and luxurious, everything you said it would be, and I didnt find the smell to weak or strong, well balanced.

I look forward to shave testing this cream on the rest of my rotation!
