Has anyone else tried this? For some strange reason, it seems to work really well for me. Does anyone know what's in it, or anything else about it? It's pretty affordable at $14CDN for a tub, and I've been pretty impressed so far...
I'd be interested to hear about any traditional creams that are similar if anyone has done a comparison.

Scott,
I like it a lot. It's made in England and performs quite well. Not everyone likes the scent but I happen to like it. According to the Body Shop it's called Woodsy Sandalwood but it doesn't smell anything like sandalwood to me.
Considering that it is available at local Body Shop locations, it's reasonably priced.

I recently bought my first tub of Body Shop cream. I will be returning it this week. I absolutely love the fragrance of the cream and was satisfied with the performance. "What is my problem, you ask?" I have somewhat of a sensitivity to the cream which causes a "burning" reaction on my face and neck. I really, really wanted to be able to use this cream...the scent is one of the best IMO.
Happy Shaving,
Ron

I just finished my sample that I picked up at TBS. Shaves were excellent, on par with the three T's. Search some old threads and you'll find more information about the cream itself, but supposedly it is an English made cream.
Anyways, I chose not to buy a whole tub because I wasn't too fond of the scent. I didn't think the scent was all that bad, but it was way to over powering for me.

The Body Shop shaving cream was my only cream product for a long time. Then I tried others and now a completely unused tub sits in my shave kit neglected and all forlorn 
Once C&E Sienna and Sweet Almond Oil moved in, I haven't used TBS once. I like the scent, and I don't suffer from the skin rash as others have noted. All in all, it's really not a bad product, but for some reason, I just find the C&E products to provide better lubrication - especially for blade buffing.
I'll probably take it back (TBS do have an excellent returns policy) and pick up something else - perhaps some Proraso or other inexpensive but highly regarded cream.
