Patchouli Citrus. Sounds like a nice flavor. Review it for us if you will.

The website does not make any reference to using a brush or creating a lather. Does it lather well with a brush? Also, at 2 or 2.5 times the cost of a tube of COBigelow or one of the Proraso variations, is the price justified in consideration of the quality of the product?

It's made in either Romania or Israel. I'm not sure.

There is a picture of a brush on the box. Honestly I'm not sure I could offer a review as I'm a soap only guy now.

How does it lather? How do you like the scent? How close of a shave did you get? Was it a comfortable shave? Seems a bit pricey for less than 5 ounces.
