Carsons Apothecary

I've just tried the Arabian Pomegranate in the CA range and have been left totally speechless by its performance.

The ease of lathering, the cushion, the glide and, most impressive of all, the post shave moisturizing effect are possibly the best of any shaving cream I have ever tried.

Even after a 3 pass shave, I had enough lather left to keep going. When I applied my usual cold water splash after the shave I could feel the most wonderful 'slip' on my face - simply incredible.

Oh, and the scent is great too.

Has anyone else tried it?

Just had a quick Google search but can only find beard oil. Where do you get this stuff from Martin?

It's the Grooming Clinic's own brand. http://www.thegroomingclinic.com/brands/carsons-apothecary.html

Some lather porn from tonight's shave with the Carsons:

The most fascinating thing with the above, is that these pictures were taken at the end of a 3 pass (and hence 3 brush applications) shave. This is the remnant from a quick squeeze of the brush and hand lather!

This stuff is unreal...

I don't think we can buy this in the US. [emoji53] The shipping fees are quite high, but if it is that good, I may have to spend them.
