This product is awesome and a small $5 tube can be purchased at bath and body works under their CO Bigelow line if you just want to try it. It has a great old fashioned smell, lathers well with your fingers (even better with a brush), and rinses off cleanly leaving a nice feeling face! Great shave for the money but if you're willing to pay a little more try taylor of old bond street. Art of shaving products are overpriced and don't work as well as these!
