I got a tub of Martin's new coconut shaving cream and after shave yesterday. The minute i opened the lid i could smell the coconut fragrance
from about 18" away from my face. The tub is made from a high density plastic and has a secure screw on lid.
Normally, i use Martin's universal oil to prepare my face first, but he had told me that his new cream was very moisturising, so i decided to
forego the oil. I used my best silvertip badger brush to work up a great lather in my woodhead pottery scuttle, loaded my merkur futur with a
new feather blade, set it on 3 and had a smooth irritation free shave in two passes.
The after shave smelled mainly of alcohol for about a minute then the coconut fragrance kicked in. I was out for the day in pretty high winds
and a bit of a misty drizzle for about 6 hours with no loss of fragrance. My wife could still smell it on me for another 5 hours after that.
I have used Martin's hard soaps such as the barbarian blade, greenwood and strawberry which are ALL excellent but his new cream formula
is the bee's knees. I plan on buying the vanilla and the orange next.
In my humble SHAVEGEEK opinion, Martin's products are the best you can buy for the money and i have no hesitation in recommending them
to anyone. I have given a selection of blighty gear to family and friends for Christmas and have got good comments from everyone.
