That's a bummer. Can you elaboriate on the issues you had with it.
I believe since there is no soap in the "cream" that it will not lather. Its a really thin type cream that doesnt seem to provide much cushion, but I will try it out tomnigt and see.
NOTE: I had to wash and shampoo my brush before it would work again with a regular cream after using the chocolate stuff. Not sure why but it wouldnt lather for anyhting after using the other stuff.
My rose geranium version turned up this week. As a traditional shaving cream it is complete dreck. How can it lather if it has no soap in it? Definitely oily - do not use with a brush! I did manage one pass with the grain applied with fingers - it lubricates but doesn't do anything to the beard. Very much like using an oily version of Edge. Perhaps I can peel the label off and present it to SWMBO as cold cream? Enormously disappointed in myself for falling for the old 'if it sounds to good to be true, it probably is' trick.

I have this bridge made of Simpson brushes with handrails built of horn scales for a straight with Penhaligon's cologne flowing underneath I'd be willing to part with if you'd like to buy....
