THE MISUNDERSTANDING

Although our vintage surfactant creams are constantly in the rotation of thousands of American customers, there are still a minority of confused customers who wrote 1-star reviews such as:

  • This cream produces no lather!
  • The lather disappears/evaporates so quickly!

    Even though we have mentioned this in the product description and on the cream container, to avoid misunderstanding it's best to repeat this again here:

    • Our shaving creams are NOT lather creams.
    • Technically, they are surfactant-based. 
    • Surfactant-based creams do NOT generate lathers.

      THE STORY BEHIND

      • We are not a fan of the popular "Santa beard" lather. You don't get to see much of the hair underneath that lather.
      • Surfactant based shaving creams were extremely popular many decades ago before the commercialised Santa beard lather started spreading itself on TVs and magazines.
      • This is our attempt at bringing the good old formula back. No lather, no fluff. Purely functional.

        WHAT YOU NEED

        1. Half a teaspoon of cream
        2. A shaving mug or bowl
        3. A very wet shaving brush

        THE STEPS

        1. Whip the cream until it turns into a temporary foam.
        2. Apply this foam on your facial hair area.
        3. The foam will soon evaporate and turn into an extremely slick and protective lubricant layer.
        4. This layer will supercharge your shaves to a whole new level.
