Caswell-MasseyHeritage Woodgrain Sandalwood Shave Cream, Natural Men’s Shaving Cream for Smooth Beard Shaving, Soothing for Sensitive Skin, USA Made, 8 Fl Oz

This stuff may be pricey but it is quality and the sandelwood smell and the lathering of this makes a great wet shave and repurchase other products from them.

A lot of complaints on here that this cream doesn’t lather. The description of the product states low lather. However I am able to work up a nice thick lather in about 2-3 minutes with a badger brush and a marble bowl. If you lather on face expect less lather but trust that the oils and moisturizer will give you a slick close shave. Having tried many soaps and creams in the past this one is a keeper.

Easy to use and creates a soft shave

This review will address certain concerns for the wet shaving community. If you have researched this brand on the forums, you may have read that it doesn't lather well, or is lather less, etc. Let me assure you, as a fellow wet shaver, that this does lather up just fine. Perhaps not as voluminous as proraso, but using a good scuttle and synthetic brush I was able to produce a nice lasting lather in about 4 minutes. Shaved my head with it, and it was an excellent shave. The sandalwood scent was amazing. I would reccomend.

I shave in the shower and use a shaving brush and 3-bladed razor. I began using this product after my previous shaving soap finished, and am awestruck by the results. I used to at least get 1 or 2 nicks on my neck when shaving, regardless of newness of blade or use of pre-shave oil. With this product, I have yet to get cut anywhere, and that is with a month-old shaving blade! Smells good, but the smell does not linger. I would highly recommend.

Amazon asked; so, yes, I’ll give my opinion. I usually only comment on a product if it goes above and beyond what they promise or if they fall noticeably short. Humble opinion— Caswell-Massey’s sandalwood shave cream falls short, especially given the $30 price tag for an 8 oz container. But price wasn’t the issue, ease of use is. Rinsing C-M’s shave cream from Gillette multi-bladed razors takes noticeably longer than their shave soaps ever did. Shave creams clog these razors. Maybe I’m using the product wrong, but short of switching to a straight blade I don’t know how to get C-M’s shave cream to work. I know, poor baby, right? But when you’re used to moving at a certain pace in the morning, trying to get out the door and on your way to work, any hiccup to your routine is a mild irritant. Unfortunately, C-M discontinued their shave soaps a while ago. I used a different product in the meantime. I thought I’d try their shave cream. I’m sorry I did. I’ll use up what I have; then I’ll look for something else. On the plus side, it’s made in the United States, the sandalwood smells very good, and I suppose the fancy container might impress nosy guests snooping through my medicine cabinet. (That last bit was sarcasm.)

Excellent, and I get FREE SHIPPING with Amazon and Caswell Massey, which would cost ten dollars!

Absolutely loved the sandalwood smell. Took me back to an old school barber shop my dad would bring me to as a kid. When reordering, sandalwood was out of stock so tried almond. I don’t care for the scent as much, too sweet, but it did not last long at all on my face, so that’ll work. I’ll continue to use almond when I don’t want the scent and sandalwood, when it restocks, if I want to add that note to me profile for the day.Both creams lather very thick and easily for me in a marble bowl with a faux-silvertip muhle brush.Please restock sandalwood soon! 🤓
