Desert · Friday February 12, 2016

I'll buy it tomorrow and I wanted to know what the scent is like from those who have already tried it.

What Nishy said...I rather like the scent. Well I suppose it's more of a smell than scent...it being a no nonsense cheap but good performing cream. One of my favourites, in case you couldn't guess from the avatar.

Good to know!! Thank you both!

To my nose, it's a powdery smell however some may disagree. It is a great shaving cream, I like it and can't understand why it is only available at Superdrug and why not in supermarkets. It is very good especially in summer due to containing menthol which cools you and gives great feeling.

I think it's good basic cream with a Helluva menthol kick. For the price it's a no brainer to try however. I keep my tube in the refrigerator as it has a tendency to liquefy at room temp where I live.

I watched a video and it seems more liquid than it should be for deserving the name "cream".

In the past(1 or 2 years ago) some batches were faulty, when I say faulty I mean runny. However it was safe to use it apparently. I'm sure they must have sorted it by now.

Yeah, that's the word I was searching for. "Runny"..

Well, I hope you're right.

My favourite! Can you tell?

I bought some today and really like it. A good clean smell with a hint of menthol. Nice.

I don't know which other mentholated soaps/creams you use but I would describe ingrams Menthol content pretty much strong rather than a hint

Randomangle · Sunday February 14, 2016

I used to use Proraso which I think is a lot stronger, but I will concur that it is more than a hint.

And Proraso blows Ingram's away as well as it's just simply better.

In what way? For me at list both are good but if I was to follow up on what said above regarding menthol and price I would go with Ingram as it's got much more menthol plus it's a less than half the price of Proraso .

Ingram's is not really a lather monster in any regard, at least for me. However, there is one caveat: the tube I have had a separating 'liquidy' goo. I had read that the co. had a bad lot or two. I simply left mine in the fridge which solved the separation problem, but I have often wondered if that's not enough to save mine. I really should get another to compare, but I am jowls deep in other soaps & creams for now.
