Expensive but worth it
"This product is a must if you suffer from sensitive skin when shaving. Best shaving product I have tried and leaves no redness or irritation behind. I use it with origins razor glide for the ultimate close and comfortable shave."

As ever, excellent...
"Provides the closest shave ever - and it's a nice neat size and lightweight enough for travelling, plus the black cap means it won't spill. One tip... you need only a small amount, so don't go mad and press an entire pump of it out in one go."

#1
"Simply, by far, the best shave crème/serum you can buy. And smells amazing too. I've tried all the classic cremes from Trumper, Harris, Taylor etc, but this is the #1."

Very Impressive
"I received a sample of this with my last order. Doesn't really foam, but isn't a shave oil either. Whatever it is, it makes the shave very close, didn't irritate my skin and smells good too. But I'm not sure if I'd buy it due to its high price (which is why I give it only 4 stars)."

ERRRRRmm! Not Quite the Ticket!
"This product is very nice indeed and the smell is great. Had an excellent smooth/close shave. BUT, have used cheaper products that, in my opinion, do just as good a job. Perhaps would put it on my Birthday/Xmas list for a treat. The smell alone would justify this. As long as I'm not paying!!!"

Cracking Product - Shocking Price
"Ticks all the boxes - really pleasurable shave, smooth and comfortable, no irritation at all (even on my sensitive, parched skin), fantastic organic smell which really gets the compliments flowing but.........in my opinion it's just not worth the outlay. Apart from the smell (full marks without a doubt), I've used other products which give equally good results. I'd love it as a present but the price tag means it only gets 3 stars from me."

Too Expensive
"The closest and most pleasurable shave I have ever had. However, the price point is way off compared to other products in the Aesop line and it 4 x the cost of my former shave prep at Kiehl's. I only give it 2 stars bc of cost."

Disappointing. Try the Refinery Oil instead.
"Before buying this product I read the reviews and noted that previous reviewers thought it was good, but perhaps a little over priced. Having bought this and The Refinery Shaving Oil at the same time, because I was unable to choose without trying them, my preference is the Refinery shaving oil by a mile. Why? Well the Aesop serum is ultra-slippery, however you need to re-wet your face fairly frequently during your shave. More of a problem, in my view, is that it leaves my skin tight, like after you use soap. On top of that it I think I only achieved about 25 shaves from the bottle (1 pump per shave). So yes I think it is over-priced. Contrast that with the Refinery oil, yes, there is only 30ml in the bottle, but I use 2-3 drops on each side of my face for a shave, so you get many more shaves. Furthermore, because it is an oil you dont have to re-wet your skin as often. While you can still cut yourself (I use a Merkur razor), in my opinion an oil is slightly more forgiving than other shaving lubricants in this respect it gives an awesome shave, and if you look on the back of the pack it is filled with exotic natural ingredients. Negatives? Well it has a slightly unusual smell which some might not like - I didn't but have become more used to it and have chosen to overlook it as the product is so good. The only other negative is that because the bottle is filled to the brim, you have to shake it vigorously to get the product out for the first couple of shaves - after that it is fine. Personally I overlook this too because the bottle is old fashioned in that it is a simple glass bottle. No plastic insert nozzles to give an easy pour or any such nonsense. Overall I urge you to support a fantastic product that seems to come from another era in that it hasnt been 'tizzed up' by modern marketing. Try it!"
