Full Disclosure: Crown Shaving Co. sent me a tub of their shaving cream to review.

Crown Shaving Co Shaving Cream Review

I got a tub of shaving cream from my friend Dino at Crown Shaving Co.  It actually arrived a couple of weeks ago, but it was WAYYY in the back of my mailbox and I didn’t see it

I’ve been using the Crown Shaving Cream for this past week.

The Good
Crown makes an extremely “soft” shaving cream.  It’s not quite liquid, not quite solid. That “softness” makes it really easy to build up a nice lather.  I’ve been trying out a shaving soap for the last few weeks (which is a pain to lather up), so this was a welcome relief.

The first time I used it,  I dabbed my brush in the cream with the normal amount of force and got way more shaving cream than I expected.  I just had to shake off some excess shaving cream and I was good to go.  Overall, it worked up an excellent lather and kept my face well moisturized.

The Meh
I like my shaving cream to have a very mild scent.  Crown Shaving Cream is supposed to smell like a mixture of eucalyptus and spearmint which sounds like a phenomenal combination (in theory).  In practice, it ends up smelling like menthol (e.g. Vick’s VapoRub).  I’m not a huge fan of menthol and the smell was a little too strong for  my taste.  If you love the smell of menthol, you’ll probably be in heaven.

Overall

It’s an excellent shaving cream, but the only drawback for me is the menthol smell.  It runs for $24 for a 8oz tub.
