This worked very well for me. I put a small amount, about the size of a US nickle coin, on the end of a wet badger brush and quickly worked up a nice lather on a wet face. This was enough on the brush to lather two or three passes and it was thick and slick enough for a nice shave. It washed off easily and left a pleasant mild scent that disappeared after a few minutes. A pleasant occasional variance from TOBS or Barrister & Mann, Read more

I have a very large collection of wet shaving supplies. Included are many of the most highly rated shave creams from the UK, Italy, Germany, Israel and the USA. Some are pricey, like the English varieties Geo F Trumper, TOOBS and Truefit & Hill. Then thereβs Proraso from Italy. Iβve tried many including shave cream from India. Lucky Tiger surprisingly is the best. Then price is low and the instructions donβt even tell you to use a brush. Well I used a brush and mug, squirted a bit into the mug (another surprise, this stuff is liquidy, thin like a body lotion) and amazingly it created voluminous lather that was slick and highly protective. The scent is very mild, a bit citrus but nothing that would clash with any aftershave lotion or cologne. I have used it numerous times with a variety of vintage Schick injector razors with a number of different blades and the old Gillette Techmatic band razor. I also tried it with Schickβs knockoff of the Techmatic. Every shave was smooth and irritation free with very few nicks. This stuff is a hidden gem. Use a good badger brush and a real razor (Iβm sure a double edge would also be fine) and you will have a great shaving experience. Read more

I shave at least twice a week, face and head, and I'm always looking for a better shaving product. The lucky tiger is one of the best I've found. the small bottle size would lead you to believe that you're not getting as good of a value, but its deceiving. It takes so little product to get a good lather that one bottle last me almost a year. Just take a dime size bit of the shave cream, and rub onto a wet face. Wet being the key ingredient. It's a little thick, but the water really makes it lather up. Its best used directly out of the shower. Also, if you're shaving for a long period and the leather seems to go away, just water your hand a little and rub over the face/head, and it lathers back up. In addition to value it also works great. Pleasant smell, great lubrication for the blade, very rarely do i get razor burn when using Lucky Tiger. Read more

This is a very smooth shave, using a silver tip badger brush, I can whip this into a killer lather in 6 seconds. It provides a great shave. The lather is not as thick as Speick or Tabac or other creams I have tried, but it provides a smooth shave and I can shave faster with the thinner lather. The smell is very light citrus, and when paired with the face tonic (Highly Recommend, especially for summer shaves) provides a pleasant scent that is not overpowering. I work in a hospital and have to go light on scent for that reason, and I have yet to have a problem. I have had the bottle for 8 months and have used 1/4 of it or less. It lasts a long time when used with the brush. Good buy and great product. Read more

I typically use a brush and shaving puck but sometimes I just want a faster shave. This is a great product that gives a very good shave and is fast to apply. It comes out as a thin cream but instantly lathers up on your face. It can actually get a bit stiff towards the end of the shave so it requires your razor to be very wet. The scent is very pleasing but light... it disappears quickly. Great product. Read more

Though the labeling indicates this is a brushless cream, I find it lathers with a brush extremely well. It provides better glide and cushion than any other product I've used. I pair this with a vintage Schick injector from 1935-1945 production using current production Schick injector blades for a great, smooth shave. Read more

This is a great product ! I usually use a shaving brush but this did not seem to work very well with with this shaving cream. I don't think it was intended for use with a brush. A little dab rubbed on the hands then the face is all it needs. Very efficient as I don't have to shave over the same area multiple times, which I experienced with Harry's shave cream. Another advantage is that the space between the razor blades does not get clogged and rinses out quickly unlike Harry's which plugged the spaces and impossible to clean. Well worth trying and draw your own conclusions. Don't understand how someone gives this a negative review. May not be for everyone but this is a great product. Read more
