A handmade German luxury shaving cream, with powdery/granular texture that reportedly leaves the skin exceptionally soft and well conditioned after a shave.
1. Packaging / size / appearance:
Large 90gr./3.17oz. plastic tub, will last a pretty long time. Texture is powdery/granular, product needs preferably to palm lather in order to get max performance. Does not come in cardboard/paper box (at least this is how I got the cream in the U.S.)
Ingredients: Aqua, Stearic Acid, Glycerin, Cocos Nucifera Oil, Argania Spinoza Kernel Oil, Hordeum Vulgare Wax, Butyrospermum Parkii Extract, Mangifera Indica Butter, Potassium Hydroxide, Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Borate. Unter Zugabe des Hautwirkstoffes STIMUTEX-AS von Pentapharm (Schweiz).

2. Price / availability: This cream is relatively expensive. It retails at $28 in the U.S. (Lee Razors) / Eur 20 (excl. delivery) in Europe, <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.1001Seife.de" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">www.1001Seife.de</a><!-- w -->.

3. Scent: Koriander & Bergamot, nice indeed and generally discreet (though not non-existing or very fleeting). Also comes in 'Dark Lavender', 'Unscented' and 'Tangerine & Vetiver' versions.
4. Efficacy / Lather-ability: Very good. Lathers very well, offers good cushion and rich 'natural feel' lather which will not dry out easily. Palm lather preferred, see photos below. For those who face lather, it has been recommended by fellow member Teiste (see his YouTube video on this) to mix the tub with 12 teaspoon fulls of water.

5. Moisturizing properties: Very good, seems (at least to the undersigned) this is very good and kind to the skin. Leaves skin very soft and mildly fresh after a shave. This cream is very strong in this point/field.
6. Quality / overall: A high quality / luxury shaving (powdery texture) cream that does a very good job on the skin. A 'different' product that should be in your rotation if you can accept the above-average price tag.
Summary - N_Architect's verdict:
1. Packaging / size / appearance: 4/5.
2. Price / availability: 4/5.
3. Scent: 4/5.
4. Efficacy / Latherability: 4/5.
5. Moisturizing /after shave properties: 5/5.
6. Quality / overall: 4/5 - Recommended.
