Good shave prep, 23 May 2015

this is a really good product for pre-shave prep. It's not a foaming wash though! To cleanse, I suggest using a good soap, then use this stuff afterwards to finish and condition the skin. I would never use this product alone to cleanse my skin ... That's not what it is meant for. My shaves are always better after using this stuff. It smells funny due to some of the natural ingredients, not least bentonite clay, which is fantastic stuff, used in many great shaving products. To me it doesn't smell like cement or concrete as it much as it reminds me of the old Body Shop mud soap. Shop around though. £4.99 on Amazon? ... £1.29 at Savers!

Very odd., 3 Jun. 2014

I have given this product 5 stars because it works so well, despite the fact that it looks and feels very odd. After using it my face feels clean and fresh with no hint of dryness or tightness. What might be a drawback to some people is that it looks and feels like wet cement. I actually find this quite amusing but I can imagine some people wouldn't want to use it because of this. I would urge you to give it a try and make up your own mind. You won't be disappointed by the results.

Not nearly abrasive enough for my tastes, 10 Jan. 2015

I seem to be going against the tide here, but I'm not a big fan of this face scrub. I've used a ton of scrubs in my time and the best ones for me are the ones with higher concentrations of exfoliants / scrubbing agents / micro beads (whatever you want to call them.) As much as I like The Real Shaving Company's products, its daily face scrub is thinner in consistency than I'm used to and has only a small amount of exfoliants compared to some other scrubs, so much so that it seems quite similar to some face washes I've used. I'll admit that it's probably better for your face than something harsher if you use it every day, and I'll also admit that it's quite nice as a wash, but I just don't get the same sense of fresh skin with it as I do with more abrasive scrubs.
