Thanks for the review! I really wanted to give people big samples so they could use it a while. Sometime, when I used to order a lot of shaving stuff online, I'd get some samples. But the samples were so small, I could get only one shave out of it.

This way, with a large sample, I figure people can try it (and hopefully enjoy it) with different razors, brushes, and techniques.

I made it a little more cherry than almond because my wife was making me a cherry pie when I was home on leave one time. It was so good to have it there with some vanilla ice cream, that the memory just stuck with me. So, in a weird way, the scent is an homage to my wife. :eek:

Thanks again for being a volunteer!!!

I too got some of this cream, rivals any I have used. While I'm not a fan of Cherry Almond I am a big fan of this cream. The fragrence is not over poweringand the only drawback is it makes me kind of hungry in the morning. The cream literally exploded into a wonderful lather with the cushion and slickness that is a rival to any cream I've used, and I've used more that a few! A four pass shave with a a Gillette Tech, Astra Superior blade. 26mm TGN Best Badger knot in and Eveready brush. This is wonderfull stuff!

I like it a lot. Moisturizes well without being greasy. Although, it can be a bit sticky sometimes. It's nice because it doesn't leave much of it's own scent and can be covered well by any aftershave.

There is some alcohol, but absolutely no sting at all.

Ingredients: Water, Glycerin, SD Alcohol 40, Sodium Calcium Alginate, Oleyl Sarcosine, Methylparaben, Guar Gum, Triethanolamine, Calcium Sulfate, Fragrance, Calcium Chloride, Fumaric Acid, and Boric Acid.

Thank you sir for the review. I know what you mean by hungry. My 23 mo old daughter always says "eat" when I shave with it. lol

Good shave today. Williams is still a little difficult to handle. I had to hit the puck again after my first pass. Still the slickness works wonders with this NEW. I got a great shave out of it.
