Sandalwood Shaving Cream for Men, 5oz | Sandalwood Scent, Extra Thick Lather, For Traditional, Straight Razor & Cartridge Shaving, Apply with Hands or Brush

Been using Taylor brand for a long time and tried something different. This is an excellent product that softens and lubricates well for a good shave. I use a shaving brush and bowl and lather it up with a little water. Taylor works up a little foam whereas this stays more creamy. Smells good and gives a really nice shave and doesn't come in a plastic container. Worth a try.

I really, really love this shaving cream. I have been an Edge user for years but they, inexplicably, did something to the formula causing it to seem more runny. I ordered this shaving cream plus their Boars Hair brush because I wanted to try something different. This shaving cream smells great, lather very well and makes my cheap Schick disposable razor work like a high end razor. My only complaint is not with this product but with the way Amazon shipped it. The tin it comes in is very thin and Amazon packed it poorly and the lid was dented making it difficult to take off and especially tight back on. Do better Amazon!!

The product itself is good and fortunately this time it arrived safely along with another fragile item that wasn’t wrapped safely. I’d to comment on packaging of items in general simply due to having to return this product & others in the past due to poor packaging/quality control. Fragile items deserve the extra care needed to arrive safely. When careless packaging causes breakage, everyone loses: the company incurs the cost of a replacement, the customer faces unnecessary delays, and additional fuel, packaging, and resources are consumed for a second shipment. We all have a responsibility to use and preserve our resources wisely, and preventing avoidable waste is part of that responsibility. Taking just a couple of extra minutes to properly protect a fragile item is a small effort with a meaningful impact—for the business, the customer, and the environment. Thank you for doing your part

Great shave cream! I like to use shaving soaps but when I am in a pinch for time, use this instead. Makes awesome lather, smells great, and the razor glides with ease. Also, a little goes a long way so tin lasts for awhile.

Smells really great and was overall a good experience. I'd say its a bit more expensive than i'd like, I ended up not buying another one after mine was used up, but also, you gotta pay for quality, and this was a high quality product, so if its worth it to you and you dont mind spending extra cash on shaving then i'd recommend it.

So I'm looking for a new pre-shave, shave cream/soap, and after shave balm. My fall-back go to since 2010 has been the Art of Shaving Sandalwood. In the last couple of years they've changed up their formula, and it doesn't have the same long-lasting smell as it did before. What I'm looking for is a scent that people smell and comment on how great it smells, like they did when I first started using AoS products. This product didn't fill those hopes. This shave cream is mediocre. Pros: - It has the exact same scent profile as the oil and after-shave balm, so you don't have to worry about conflicting scents. - It made a pretty good lather. Others, as I've read, had trouble with this however I didn't. It needs a little moisture to get going, but was pretty good. - My favorite part about this was the added menthol umph! I didn't expect it, and I really welcomed the feeling. Cons: - The scent, like the rest of the line of products doesn't meet the AoS Sandalwood standard. This stuff has more of a barbasol scent, but added in a hint of sandalwood with a sweet smelling profile. Almost as if you combine barbasol and swisher sweets (small, sweet smelling cigars). It's not a bad smell, just not what I'm looking to be my go-to scent. - The scent wears off about halfway through the day. I want a scent that stays.

I have always wanted to try this type of shaving cream and so glad I did. This stuff is amazing and a LITTLE goes a long ways. I bought the brush also. I run warm to hot water on the brush to soften up the brush. Then put like a tiny dab of shaving cream on it and rub it on. I am really amazed by how smooth this shaving cream is and it smells good. Once all shaved rinse off the brush and all done, it’s truly that easy. I will buy again and will never go back to Edge shaving cream. I am supporting a local American product.

I've been on the hunt for a great shaving cream for as long as I have been shaving, for the past 20 years. I really don't like any of the box store canned sprays. I prefer using a shaving brush, and I need a cooling aspect. I have tried and liked Art of Shaving, but don't find the value to match it's high price point. Thus far, I've Pacific Shaving Company caffeinated cream has been my staple for the past few years. Recently, they increased the price, and my local Target stopped carrying it, so I decided to explore other options. I tried a few hyphy brands from Ulta, just to be overspent and disappointed. So I found Rocky Mountain Barber (and Taylor, and Viking Revolution). While some reviewers complained of the menthol aspect of RMB, this was the exact selling point for me. The RMB shave is so soothing and cooling, that I don't end up with irritation. I can actually shave daily. The initial lather was a bit thick, tacky, and almost sticky. Blending and lathering with a tiny bit of water resolves this issue, or a perfect viscosity. The scent is great, a spicy woody scent, but not too strong or overbearing. It has a bit of that barbershop throwback smell (so I wonder what the Barbershop scent smells like in comparison). Some reviewers complained that the scent wasn't strong enough or lasted long enough, but me, this is a great thing. I don't want to have an insanely strong smell. So in short, I get a very clean, soothing shave, that smells great. As others have said, practice with your water to soap ratio to find your ideal lather.

This was a pleasant surprise. I typically prefer harder pucks over creams and have around a half dozen in my shaving rotation, but I find myself reaching for RMBC's Sandalwood more often than I thought I would. The tin it comes in is a nice departure from the plastic tubs you typically get with most small batch soaps. I'll stick an almond sized dollop of this into my wet synthetic brush and lather directly on my face (I'm not a bowl/mug latherer), dipping the tips of the brush into my sink to add a bit of water until I develop a nice shiny lather, a little thicker than whipped cream. The menthol is a very nice amount. It won't slap you in the face like a lot of highly mentholated soaps out there, but it is nice and refreshing, especially on a hot muggy day. Scent is entirely subjective, but I enjoyed this scent. It would be more accurate to call it a Vanilla Sandalwood. It is a powdery, sweet scent, which isn't what someone looking for a more woody sandalwood may want. If you enjoy vanilla scents, this one may be worth a look. Scent strength is medium-strong, and I can still pick it up 2-3 hours after the shave. When paired with the matching RMBC Sandalwood Post Shave Balm, the scent is strong, and I can still pick up whiffs of it up to 5 hours later. Performance-wise, this lathers up nicer than Taylor of Old Bond Street, and is a little slicker too. Post shave feel isn't quite as nourishing though. It's still much better than canned foam and many of the cheap mass produced soaps (like Proraso for example). The matching Sandalwood balm that RMBC offers does a lot to rectify this, although it can leave your skin feeling a little greasy, and it feels a little heavy outdoors in the summer. Overall, I'd buy it again. At full price I think there are several artisan soaps that offer better performance for the same cost, but when on sale for $16-17 it's a pretty good buy.

I have used different brands of shaving creams and I finally found one that leaves my skin smooth after shaving. This is a recurring purchase for me now, its the only shaving cream I use and will use as long as they sell it. The smell, how it lathers on your skin and how great the shave is after is what you are looking for! and let me tell you, it pays dividends every time. I only shave every 3 days and I don't dread it at all. I have started to use more rocky mountain items because I thoroughly enjoyed this product so much and have recommended it to all my friends. Also, I really like the sandalwood smell. The value for the money here is 10/10 - The 5 oz tin lasts me so long is not even funny. I do understand that some people may shave everyday and they may go through it fast but I am lucky I only have to do it twice a week. I would definitely pay full price if I need but I have seen it at a discount. What's the best thing about this product? its Canadian Made! another reason to support them for sure. I will forever be a loyal customer!

Best creamed I've used so far when shaving with no prep and in terms of sickness. I think this cream is best when face lathering as it doesn't build lather much as others or as quickly, but don't let that deter you as even with less visible lather it doesn't take away its performance. You can still get a creamy lather if you use more and work it longer. It was slick when I was just using a little bit with a wet face. This will now be my go to if I'm in a hurry and or dont have time to shower and prep or whip up lather in a bowl. It has menthol so during the shave you will feel it's cooling affect. Some people find it weird especially pairing menthol with a sandalwood scent but that's subjective it doesn't bother me. After the shave feels nice, I can feel the ingredients doing good for my skin. The scent - not sure if it's my favorite or not yet but it's one of the better sandalwood creams/soaps I've tried out of 5 others, it definitely got my attention most. It has a very nice and definitely sweet aroma. It is not a woody, ashy or smokey scent like actual sandalwood but it has a hint of sandalwood smell while mostly being "sweet". The smell is strong when sniffing the tin of cream, but after the shave it maybe lasts 2~ hours and is not so strong after use. The -1 star for this product is it's value. It would at least be alright if the tin is filled to near its brim but it comes with 1/4 of the tin already missing. Quite unsatisfying to see that empty chunk. It feels like the cream can be used up quite fast or faster than others too. While this isn't the most expensive as there are more expensive artisans soaps out there, still it's not of great value. It was worth buying the first time to try it as it pleased me but will have to really consider if I will buy more later. You can find alternatives that are cheaper, shave well, and last longer.

Rocky Mountain Shaving Cream is AWESOME! I love the gentle scent and the pearl like texture of the cream. When used with the Rocky Mountain Pure Badger Hair shaving brush and a good rough shaving cream bowl, it creates a beautiful smooth foam. I am a head shaver and this cream definitely gets the job done. I am on my third container and can't see a reason I wouldn't buy many more.

Love this stuff, great Sandalwood fragrance, premium product. Spreads smoothly Lasts a long time I shave (3 x / week) . Over the years I am into my 3rd container.
