American Shaving Co Shaving Cream (8oz) - Sandalwood Barbershop Scent – Premium Natural Lathering Wet Shave Soap - Best Men's Shave Cream For Sensitive Skin - Leaves Skin Irritation-Free

I recently received the Sandalwood shaving cream as well as the Sandalwood after shave balm.I use a badger brush to lather the cream in the palm of my hand and was very pleased with the consistency of the lather.I'm in the military so I must shave every day of the week which can lead to some irritated skin, but this shaving cream is very gentle and creates a smooth shave. I finish off with the after shave balm and it's fantastic.My first day with both products I had to figure out the amount of each product to use. Way too much shaving cream on the brush and way way too much balm on my hands, but by day two I had the amounts dialed in.Sandalwood is my all time favorite scent and these products smell great. Bear in mind this is the more earthy Sandalwood, not the sweeter version, but perfect for getting the true Sandalwood effect. Very earthy, very masculine and the scent stays with me for most of the day without ever being overpowering.Very pleased so far!

Something had to go wrong with this product during shipment. See the photos of what arrived... this is a brand new container, never used. It was full of huge air pockets and at the bottom there was a gaping air hole. The jar was upside down in the product box; i don't know if that had anything to do with all condition of the shaving soap when it arrived. I felt cheated, paying full price for a jar that was only half full. I tried reaching out to the company via their website before posting this review, but they never replied to me.As to the quality of the shaving soap... I've used it 3 or 4 times thus far and have yet to get a thick, rich lather. But this might be me more than the soap; I'm using a new cup and it's a bit small to work the soap as I normally do. On the other hand, maybe it's due to the bizarre condition of the soap in the jar. On the skin, the soap is very tingly, which was not what I expected. I have very sensitive skin so I don't care for this, but the after shave balm does a great job of calming the skin. The scent (sandlewood) is fantastic, no complaints on that.In contrast to my experience with the shaving soap, I've been very happy with the after shave balm. And the scent stays with you throughout the day. My wife says it's nice and not too strong. So 5 stars for the balm.

I bought the the American shaving co. Shaving cream and try it out I got the sandelwood smell and I love the smell and love it makes my skin very soft and smooth after I finish shaving but if I were to cut my self in shaving it stings when I apply more on my face and I am not use to lathering this cream yet so I don’t know if it needs more water is loosen the cream so it won’t sting me so it’s probaly just need practice but I’m give this four stars because I love the smell I get combiments from it and how my skin is soft after saving is so good that this cream should be a facial cream. However the stinging to me I don’t like it may if it was sensitive skin because all the shaving soap and cream I get is for sensitive skin because I don’t know if I have sensitive skin which is why I buy them never have any problems which is why the American shaving to me stinging I don’t like it but I like this shaving cream but without the burning feeling on my face but if it were for sensitive skin then I would give it 5 stars but the burning is a four but I like this shaving cream but it could be me that the cream is burning me too of either my skin or how I’m using it.

I am not one to usually write a review. However, I really enjoyed the experience I thought I would share it with the work wide web. I tried this product for the first time today. Oh my gosh!!!!! My commute is about 30 minutes and I was still enjoying it when I arrived to work. It is smooth and the fragrance is NOT overpowering It has a gentle lingering quality. I am looking forward to shaving tomorrow!!! And the next day and the next day....

I ordered this product three months ago and a couple of weeks ago, my husband asked me to smell the shaving cream. It had the worst smell to it and almost made me gag. Obviously, it had gone bad. I will never buy this product again for my husband. He notified the company ( American Shaving Company) about the product, but didn't receive an answer. It doesn't deserve one star, but had to select.

A good product, but rather expensive and not nearly as refined as some of the competition. You need a basis of comparison to fully appreciate these comments.Specifically, this product does not transform from paste to soap quite as easily as compared to Old Bond Street shaving soap. It results in paste either stuck to the soap bowl, or picked up by my badger brush as clumps.Old Bond Street soap slowly thickens while on your face and does not run off like American Shaving soap.In addition, Amazon sells American Saving soap for $4.25/ounce while the better Old Bond Street soap sells for $3.01/ounce.I am still attempting to find better shaving soap than Old Bond Street, as it tends to dry quickly on your face when not enough drops of water are added to my bowl.

I received my shaving cream as expected yesterday and I have to admit, this is a very nice shaving cream. From the aroma, to the lather, to the conditioning it gives your beard, down to the smooth finish it leaves behind. My wife loves the scent. I haven't purchased a single blade razor yet, so I used a Mach 4, but if anything the shaving cream negated this fact. I'll be using this cream going forward and look forward to trying the rest of your products.
