I got a sample of this way back and used it on my legs and armpits a few weeks ago...
Unfortunately I wasn't too fond of it. It gave a smoothe enough shave, but left my skin feeling...weird. Sort of like a squeeky, but slightly sticky, dry texture. The sensation wore off after about 15 minutes, but it was a bit alarming. Apart from that I had no problems with the product, no adverse reactions whatsoever...
Wouldn't purchase it... |

| I bought this for my other half ages ago and he wasn't impressed with it either. I think his fave product from the line is the facial moisturiser with SPF, but he decidedly told me not to get him the shaving stuff again... |

Glad to know this. I bought the other half Crabtree and Evelyn shaving products for Christmas (in Sienna) and he adores them. I was urging him to consider something "lighter" for the summer (I find all 3 Crabtree fragrances for men to be very "heavy") and was thinking about Anthony Logistics but couldn't find any reviews. I'll let him stay with his Crabtree now.  |

You could try king of shaves oil  Apparently, this is *the best* and not much compares to it. Of course, I don't shave so this is my other half's opinion. But he compares everything to King of Shaves.... |

Oooh... perhaps I'll make some headway here! I'll keep ya posted! He's developed an unhealthy attachment to his Crabtree. (It's really quite cute, though... ) |

FYI - if you go to the King of Shaves website and fill out a survey, they'll send you a packet of free samples for males or females. |

| My hubby didn't like the shave cream either, said it clogged up his razor but he does love the preshave oil which softens the facial hair and helps to stop shaving nicks. A bottle lasts forever too. |

| My husband didn't like this line. He prefers PTR's shaving cream. It doesn't irritate his skin and reduces redness. |
