About this deal
The brand changed hands few times in the last few years but the dish stayed good and the stick as you find is a bit of a hand soap. A superior quality shaving cream containing Coconut Oil and Glycerine to lubricate your skin, giving you a smoother, closer shave.
Erasmic Shaving Cream 75ml – Cyril R. Salter
Last year I bought one of the new (red box) Erasmic shave sticks having read that they had scrapped their recent disastrous reformulation and gone back to tallow. That is because the cutting style of electric shavers is different to shaving with an exposed blade. Shaving cream is however the better choice if you want to apply something by hand, rather than having to use a shaving brush. For years and years men used shaving soap sticks along with a brush to create a lather which they did in a shaving mug or a shaving bowl.Gels are just easier to find in supermarkets and chemists, though not as good as these types of high quality creams. This has an interesting scent but don't get too hooked up on that as it doesn't linger for a long time. We recommend starting with the cheeks first, then the neck and finally finish off with the chin and the mouth.
Erasmic Moisturising Smooth Aloe Vera Shave Gel, 100ml
If the cream looks watery, lumpy or has changed colour or developed a bad smell then it has gone past its date and is useless.Shaving cream produces a much richer and thicker proper shaving lather that actually protects your skin. I experimented the next few days with adding just a bit more water to the lather and that stopped the drying out I saw. Our Opinion: - If you are into wet shaving, then you will recognise the Taylor of Old Bond Street brand as they are world renown for making high quality shaving products. Just add a little drop of this cream straight onto the brush and lather up in a bowl or mug or even on the side of the basin.
