Santa Maria Novella Crema Da Barba Shaving Cream, 220ml

It's expensive, but only takes a tiny amount to yield a great, creamy lather. The large tub lasts for a looong time. Would definitely buy again.

I must be doing something wrong with this cream, I've tried to like it because it cost so much but have never had a good shave with it. While it produces an amazing creamy lather, it doesn't last and provides little in the way of "cushioning" for me, so I end up looking like Norman Gunston. While it's the only cream I have which has me reaching for the styptic pencil, I find it leaves stubble on my face. It's odd considering the glowing reviews this stuff gets but that's my experience with it. I use a Feather handle and blades which works fine with most products except this. While you shouldn't have to, using Proraso pre-shave helps.

This is a beautiful product. The menthol and tobacco scent is authentic Italian barber shop. It leaves a clean fresh feel on the face following a shave. My favourite!

This shaving cream has real "Wow" factor. It has a natural and refreshing eucalyptus opening, with a hint of menthol for cooling. This sits on a base of warm tabacco - they have got the balance just right.
The cream is thirsty, but once hydrated, you are rewarded with simply brilliant lather. The cushioning, slickness, and residual slickness are all elite. To cap it all off, the postshave feel is simply wonderful. Am I impressed? You bet I am!
It is not cheap, but the tub is enormous, and the yield of lather per gram of soap is very high, a testament to the quality of the ingredients. You absolutely get what you paid for with this wonderful cream. HIghly recommended.

This is hands down one of the best soaps I've ever used. Super protective lather, great slickness, and nice scent. Well worth the high price tag.
