    TS cream Top Secret Lanolizado is amazing.

    Scent is like a soapy wood. Very nice and clean and not overpowering at all.
    Lather is the surprise here. I made it like all my creams. What was a surprise is how much water you can add to a small amount and the thick rich lather it will produce. I lathered up for the first go and it was like La Tojo cream in its lather with maybe a little better cushion. Upon lathering up for the second go I added some water to my brush, just a little, and man did the lather pop! I had a richer & thicker lather & when I went for a final round XTG, just cause the shave was so sweet, I still had a ton of rich lather left.
    I took a pic shown below of what I rinsed off down the drain.... just so much left over
    I only used and a teaspoon of this cream. No more or less then I usually use with other creams.
    EXCELLENT cream here...

    Very nice, I love trying new and unusual soaps and creams, it a bonus when they turn out to be great. It sux when you find out you got the last one, and they don't make it anymore....I'm still waiting for them to reformulate Xpec, You guys would love it....

    The Denim shaving cream is stocked in most of the supermarkets here, though the packaging in your picture looks a little more vintage.

    I LOVE the 444. Mix it with your favorite AS splash and rub it in. It's got no odor, but a nice menthol feel.

    My last order was a tube of 444 and a Limited Edition Semogue brush, which has become my everyday brush.

    Yea thats what I like about ordering from Leon. He stocks things you dont see in the states & has tried them as well. I really like using creams & have found quite a ref I really like.
    Of course having a scuttle has really made it even nicer.
    Cant wait to try the Denim tomorrow. It smells pretty nice, though that generally changes when you whip them up
