Yea, I know it is a brushless cream but I thought I might give it a go with a brush. I make lather in a mug by putting a bit of shave cream, a drop of lanolin and 4-5 drops of glycerine in it. I then load my warm wet badger brush with a bit of Williams and proceed to generate a lather in the mug. It did not make too much difference which brand of cream I used, always getting a good lather. Today I did the same and used some BBW True Blue Spa shaving cream in the mix and was rewarded with a very good lather also but a bit runnier/wetter than with the other creams. Had a very good shave with it but it did have a different feel which I chalk up to the Shea butter in it. I am going to keep using it for a few days to see if the results are consistent. Just thought I would post this as I don't see BBW True Blue Spa shave cream mentioned anywhere. Looks like it will work just fine. How it works on it's own I have no idea.

Bought some C O Bigelow at the same time and it is the same as the old Proraso right down to the Parabens in it. The BBW True Blue Spa also has Parabens in it. Apparently the use of Parbens in cosmetics is not banned in Canada, yet, and I am old enough now that any damage has already been done that may have been done so I don't worry about it. I put the COB away for a time when I want to impress myself with a posh name and packaging as it gives me nothing more than Proraso does. By that I mean it is as good/the same as Proraso and that is not bad by any stretch.
