SUMMARY: first one, very stinky and not very nice. quite oily to start with, and took ages to be absorbed, then I felt dryish for a while.
This stuff is called Living Nature, New Zealand.
In terms of its stinkyness, its actually quite herby, so if you like that then its a good stinky ness.
Also, the way I see it, shaving stuff falls into two main categories. The first is the type that smoothes the skin, so the razor glides over it, but you need to ensure your razor is good and sharp for it to zoom through the whiskers. the second, (and my fave) kind, is the kind that allows some lubrication AND softens the bristles a bit. The razor then zooms mostly, and cuts in a comfortable way. I've always had dry skin, so have tried everything. From your Gilette foams and gels, through the king of shaves range, and right up to the incumbent soap of choice, *TADAAAAAAAA* Neal's Yard Shaving soap. (I think it's lavender.)
You need a brush and a pot with it, but its just.
The.
BEST.
Make sure you're face has had a nice HOT flannel on it for a few seconds or a minute first, possibly even shower before you shave, to really steam up and soften that face.
Really, this stuff is great. Steer clear of the Living NAture for now. its not that its bad, because its not bad, its just not as GOOD as the Neal's yard stuff.
