Being new to double edge shaving, I did a fair amount of research into a well respected shaving cream required for a close but smooth shave. The one that stood out for me was the Spanish Leather shaving cream. The first thing you will notice is how easy it is to make a good lather from very little product. The shave is very comfortable and doesn't leave my face feeling dry even after 3 passes with the razor. What is amazing though is the scent. It is Pure Nostalgia. A scent which is warm but not overpowering. A scent that somehow reminds you of years gone past. The Spanish Leather cream is only available in a tube which to be honest is what I prefer...you have more control on how much you are using. You in conjunction with Geo F Trumpers Skin Food and you'll have one of the best shaves ever. I love the scent so much I've also ordered the body wash and cologne in Spanish Leather too from Mankind, which out of interest have the keenest prices on the net and they often throw in freebies. Shaving has now become a joy instead of being painful and mundane!
