This formula, enriched with coconut oil, menthol, eucalyptus, and camphor is perfect for all skin types. The unctuous, stable foam is an excellent lubricant during shaving and rinses off easily. For best results use with a badger brush. May also be used without a brush: take a small amount and mix with water to make desired consistency.

I recently ordered the Crema da Barba to try with my new safety razor. I was skeptical of whether or not it was worth the price, however, after using it a few times, I can honesty say that this will be the only shave cream that I will use in the future. It is easy to use with a badger hair brush. It feels good on my face and allows the razor to slide unabated. It really provides a very close and comfortable shave. It also has an excellent scent. The best shave creme that I have ever used in my 40+ years of shaving.

I've used dozens of products over the years and declare SMN the winner. I have the difficulty of a dark, heavy beard coupled with sensive skin, shaving in a dry climate and still find SMN to work marvelously. I use the product with a quality brush and would advise so. The standard tub lasts over a year and provides a high quality shave throughout. Worth the $50 +.
