In the past I've sort of struggled with this cream. It's a tester from Vida and it has just taken me a minute to nail down how to handle it. From what she said, Smoke on the Water frag oil doesn't play with the cream very nicely and makes it firmer than it should be.
Today I loaded the snot out of it and ran it as dry as I could stand. I got a lot more protection than I've gotten in the past and really enjoyed the shave!
I thought the cream performed excellently, but I passed my tub along because of the tingles it gave my face. Is yours still causing some irritation?
Yes, still a little bit of a hot feeling. While I'd rather it not do that, it's tolerable and goes away immediately after I rinse. So I'll keep it around I think.
