Thread: Lucky tiger anyone?

Hiya,

I've used the shaving cream as well as the aftershave and face tonic. These are the products that were a part of the newer line that came out maybe 4-5 years ago. No idea what the older versions would be like.

I enjoyed the shave cream. Very easy to lather and the results were certainly better than average. I also didn't mind the very light orangy/citrus scent........same one the AS uses. Besides, it was gone in about 10 seconds, so no conflict with any EdTs.

I also like the aftershave/face tonic and need to reorder this soon. It's like water, as another member mentioned. No burn at all, and a very light fleeting citrus wispiness. I decant it into an atomizer and spray 2-3 times right on my face. Much easier than a splash application.

Although I've never ordered from this company, they seem to have good prices for Lucky Tiger. It's called www.vitacost.com. That'll end up being where I order from in the near future.

All in all, both items are worth a look, especially the face tonic. It's a very nice light summer aftershave.

I have used lucky tiger for years. As a newbie to straight razors though my approach has changed a little.

When using my Mach 3 in the past their liquid cream shave had been my cream of choice. It went on really light and the other nice thing about it was that it had a decreased tendency to clog up the razor between the blades, so I could get it to rinse clean and extend the use of each razor. Since switching to a straight (be it only a little over a week ago) I found that the cream broke down too quickly, and that it is easier to reapply with a standard brush and soap in a mug. So I am no longer using the liquid cream shave. I might give this a try again in the future when I am a little more proficient.

I am still using the face tonic though. I find it really refreshing and not overpowering.

I purchased the last sample size of Lucky Tiger's "Aspen" at the only local classic barbershop supply store I know of (Marvy's) and I was surprised how nice the scent was. I just apply a little more than to close/cover/disinfect and the scent can linger a few hours. Very nice stuff, I even feel the scent has complexity beyond the price. This is a product I'd go in for a whole gallon if there were other like-minded fellows in my area.

I absolutely love the new Lucky Tiger "After Shave & Face Tonic" (I think that's what's on the label). It's lightly orange/citrus which smells nice but fades away fast and doesn't interfere with your cologne, and it's very nice to my face. I still have plenty of alcohol-based A/S varieties for when I want my shaving mistakes amplified, but most of them carry considerable scent forward. The Tiger doesn't, not for very long.

Hei Kristoffer,

Vet ikke om du har sjekket andre butikker men prisen høres nokså vanvittig ut. Jeg støtter norske butikker så mye jeg kan men hater å betale fire eller fem ganger så mye enn noe ville koste utenlands, inkl. frakt...
Brukte Lucky Tiger AS en stund da jeg var yngre, kjekt for historisk verdi men ikke luksus greie. Har du prøvd Sante sine produkter? Jeg liker deres AS og fuktighetskrem enormt.

mvh

(Not much to see here...just complaining about our local shop prices...But Sante AS is good...)

I use the Lucky Tiger brushless shave cream as a pre-shave on occasion to soften my beard and set it up for shaving.
