St James of London Cedarwood & Clarysage Shave Cream Jar, 5.07oz

Excellent product & smells fabulous!

Smells great

Wonderful scent and performance! Love this cream.

Even though I havent actually started to use this soap, based on the scent its 5 stars. For those of you who are familiar with Con Kazantzidis (shave the man), he gave this soap a good review. It is a little bit on the pricey side, but Ive seen YouTube vids where reviewers only use a small amount and can work up a big lather. Hence I thought Id try it. Im sure I will love this soap when I do use it. For me this soap is one of those special occasion soaps much like truefitt & hill or Castle Forbes.

Ill admit Ive bought many Sandalwood-scented products simply because it has the word wood in it, expecting to get a very earthy, woodsy scent. While Sandalwood is a pleasant scent, its never lived up to the wood-smelling expectations in my head. Cedarwood, however, does; its the wood scent Ive been after. This cream combines the scents of cedarwood and sage, and boy does it smell fantastic. The performance is even better. A little dab of cream lathers up like youve had a cream pie thrown in your face. I didnt think Id try a cream that performed better than Taylor of Old Bond Streets shaving creams (which are excellent), but I have with this. I tried this cream as part of a multi-scented inexpensive sample pack off of St James of Londons site (I dont think they sell it through Amazon) and Im seriously considering buying the shaving cream in the full size here.

ON TIME,AS ADVERTISED. HAVE USED TWICE; VERY, VERY IMPRESSIVE!

Great item. St. James of London Shave Cream is top quality. Comes in a large glass jar… not a plastic cup like most others. Nice scent. Very happy with my purchase.

This is the perfect product for shaving.

The lather is awesome. A little bit will go a long way. The scent is really nice. The reason for 3 stars is because out of a 5.07Oz jar there was only about 2.5oz of cream.

This gives the best shaving experience I ever had. I had always used tallow-based soaps, avoiding creams, but tried this one on recommendation from my son. The lather is rich, smooth and creamy. Slickness is superior and allows a couple of swipes before re-lathering for another pass. It is very water tolerant and doesnt get thin and foamy if you over water. I get a great close shave every time that lasts through the day. It appears pricey, but you need so very little to create mounds of rich, creamy lather so it becomes very cost effective. I am using the Cedarwood and Clary Sage. Fragrance is very nice and lasts a few hours. I tried Barrister & Mann, Mikes, Cold River, Cella (my first. so still a nostalgic and fond favorite), all the Poraso, Taylor of Old Bond Street. This, without question, is the best of them all. My other gear: Merkur 34C, Voskhod blades from ebay (less than $10 per 100 so I replace on a 5 day use cycle), Semogue boar brushes: 1470, 820, 1250.
