As promised, round 2 with the Boots cream:
My process is the same as before, so I'll just comment on the characteristics of the cream.
Scent- in a word, unremarkable. Reminded me of a fairly generic men's deodorant (something like Brut). Not even a hint of menthol that I could notice. In summary I would say the scent is inoffensive, but nothing special.
Performance- no problems here. Plenty of creamy lather for my two passes. Lathers easily (similar to Ingram), but not quick as easily as the beloved Arko.
Overall, this is not really a cream I would recommend. There's nothing wrong with it, but there's also nothing that would make you want to go out of your way to buy it over
arko the
arko many other
arko options :laugh:
To expand on this a bit more- I tend to like items that have at least one stand-out quality. For example, with TOBS Sandalwood I love the scent, with Arko I love the performance and price, with Ingram I enjoy the menthol...uppercut. With the Boots cream, there's just nothing particularly interesting about it. Life's too short for boring shaving products I say!
Once again, big thanks to our UK friend for making this possible.
