Ordered as a birthday treat......at least hope it turns out to be a treat!I had the same quandary a while back. Consensus is that you're paying for the scent and the brand. It is also a very good performing cream though. I have the orange and brown tub versions. Orange is the Colonia scent and brown is an unscented variant. I love both and will happily replace them once they've been used up. If you like AdP Colonia and purchasing this isn't going to cause you any hardship, do it. Lovely stuff!
Luckily no reaction and my skin is really nice. Expensive, but really lovely. A p.easure to use..Many years ago I bought an ADP tub of cream. Must have been 2011 or so. Was about 60 euros back then from what I recall. Used it for 3 shaves and sold the remainder at a loss. There was some sort of citric stuff in it that my skin couldn’t handle for some reason.
Yes, it is expensive. But if you don’t load a +26 size knot brush directly from the tub, it should last for a long timeLuckily no reaction and my skin is really nice. Expensive, but really lovely. A p.easure to use..
Your right about it lasting. Due to the cost,I decided to see how little of this is needed for a good lather. Answer, hardly any. I a soaked brush, squeezed dry and lather . Looks like there's nothing on the brush, but add water and more than enough for 3 passes. Of all products this stuff has no bad effect on my skin. Lovely stuff.Yes, it is expensive.

I may have to retry it with a small sample. It’s been a decade and perhaps they’ve changed the formulation somewhat over the years.
