Lucky Tiger Lucky Tiger Liquid Cream Shave, 5 Oz, 5 Oz

This worked very well for me. I put a small amount, about the size of a US nickle coin, on the end of a wet badger brush and quickly worked up a nice lather on a wet face. This was enough on the brush to lather two or three passes and it was thick and slick enough for a nice shave. It washed off easily and left a pleasant mild scent that disappeared after a few minutes. A pleasant occasional variance from TOBS or Barrister & Mann,

I have a very large collection of wet shaving supplies. Included are many of the most highly rated shave creams from the UK, Italy, Germany, Israel and the USA. Some are pricey, like the English varieties Geo F Trumper, TOOBS and Truefit & Hill. Then there’s Proraso from Italy. I’ve tried many including shave cream from India. Lucky Tiger surprisingly is the best. Then price is low and the instructions don’t even tell you to use a brush. Well I used a brush and mug, squirted a bit into the mug (another surprise, this stuff is liquidy, thin like a body lotion) and amazingly it created voluminous lather that was slick and highly protective. The scent is very mild, a bit citrus but nothing that would clash with any aftershave lotion or cologne. I have used it numerous times with a variety of vintage Schick injector razors with a number of different blades and the old Gillette Techmatic band razor. I also tried it with Schick’s knockoff of the Techmatic. Every shave was smooth and irritation free with very few nicks. This stuff is a hidden gem. Use a good badger brush and a real razor (I’m sure a double edge would also be fine) and you will have a great shaving experience.

Though the labeling indicates this is a brushless cream, I find it lathers with a brush extremely well. It provides better glide and cushion than any other product I've used. I pair this with a vintage Schick injector from 1935-1945 production using current production Schick injector blades for a great, smooth shave.

I just finished a bottle of this epic, wonderful product and thought: I should share my love for it. I've tried all kinds of shaving creams from the traditional foamy nonsense from the likes of "big shave" to gels and even tried a brush with a bar of shaving soap (which is not bad). But this one is the only I consistently buy and use. It is awesome, very gentle, very protective, and it smells pretty nice. I can't imagine using another product, and I won't even try another at this point. If you're on the fence buy it.

I typically use a brush and shaving puck but sometimes I just want a faster shave. This is a great product that gives a very good shave and is fast to apply. It comes out as a thin cream but instantly lathers up on your face. It can actually get a bit stiff towards the end of the shave so it requires your razor to be very wet. The scent is very pleasing but light... it disappears quickly. Great product.

I have been shaving for 59 years this month. I've tried every kind of razor from double edge, single edge, injector, cartridge, straight razors, of which I have 5, expensive OneBlade, and cheap throwaways. I've lived in three countries, and I tried all that they had to offer, too. I've tried every kind of shaving cream from soaps, lotions, gels, foam, those with badger hair brushes, and more. In November of last year, a friend gifted me with a Dorco 7 cartridge razor. I'm astonished that there can be seven blades, but whatever. It turned out to be the best, safest shave I've ever had. A couple of weeks ago, I found Lucky Tiger, and since I've tried everything else, I thought, why not? I bought it and it turns out to be even better. It takes only a small amount; it's a little sticky; it seems to dry too fast, and it works really well. It seems that the dry feeling is not relevant to the shave. Even after several days with the same cartridge, I get a smooth, safe, no nicks shave. If I have a complaint, it's that after I shave, my face feels cold for about an hour. For now, I'm going to stop looking. Meanwhile, I have this large collection of razors, brushes, soaps, etc. This combination of Dorco 7 and Lucky Tiger is the best I can find.

Good shave cream. No frills does the job

Makes a good lather using a badger brush. The scent is very mild. I wouldn't use it, if it weren't. Got a very close comfortable shave with a Merkur Futur. A little goes a long way, so no need to over do it. Good stuff.
