This stuff is garbage..I really thought it would lather up into a nice cream and make for a good shave. It barelys lathers up, and that is with using a top of the line silvertip badger brush (I would hate to see how it lathers with only using finger tips) I am glad that I only bought a few samples packets of this becuase if I paid $20+ for this I would not be happy. Save yourself the money and buy some Proraso or Truefitt and Hill shave cream, you will get a much better lather and shave. I will not be purchasing this again. I have a hard time believing that Jack Black actually sells this and people buy it for $20. One of the worst creams I have tried thus far. F+ product all the way...
