Erasmic Shaving Stick vs Erasmic Shaving Cream
Hello gents,
I just want to report my findings on Shaving Stick and Shaving Cream made by Erasmic.
Firstly, the Erasmic shaving stick. It is supposed to be tallow based, however I find it lathers quite poorly, very airy with big bubbles. Even when mixed right it does provides decent lubrication, I don't care much for the lather it produces nor the scent. First time I shave with this I blamed the IP blade I was using on my Weishi, I thought if the lubrication is there, it must be the blade. But when I used Palmolive, the IP blade gave a very nice shave.
On the other hand, the Erasmic shaving cream lathers very well, it's slick, rich and thick almost like italian meringue. The scent is better than its stick brother, but not as nice as more expensive soaps. The shave with the same IP blade still gave a very nice shave. The cream wins hands down against the stick.
So my suggestion if you're thinking of trying Erasmic, get the shaving cream, skip the stick.
Cheers,
Sy
