Great smell, terrific lather, and so far, it not only made a smooth shave, but left behind clear skin, as promised. No ingrown hairs. None. My only complaint is the label is all foreign language..French? I really do like this shaving cream though. It leaves behind a faint but pleasant smell. It's thick from the get go. Easy to spread. Easy to shave. Maintains its lather long enough for you to see what you're doing.
