Vulfix Sicilian Lime
What are your thoughts on this cream, the only Vulfix cream I have tested was the Rose, which smelled wonderful and seemed slick in my fingers.
I'm just asking because I'm dying to try a lime cream, and I could buy this one locally.

Damn thats not good, maybe I should just stick with the RoseChemErik wrote:I personally don't care for Vulfix and the lime scent in the sample I had was terrible. It has a very acidic scent, more like just citric acid than lime. It was slick enough and cushion was acceptable, but it dried even my oily skin.

What Vulfix Rose cream? Is this something new?

I used to use the Vulfix Sandalwood and Lavender and enjoyed them. I tried the Musk and Lime and didn't care much for them.

Never tried their Lime, and I don't know if the cream is the same as the first batch that they sold, but that stuff I found odd. It seemed to lather and shave fairly well but the texture was just too weird for me; kind of a junket custard sort of affair. This was when they only had Lavender and Sandalwood and the scents didn't much appeal to me either although they were tolerable. And the pot was seriously...well....just cheap. I never tried any of their other creams after that intial experiance.

The Rose has a similar custard like consistency, it however felt slick in my fingers after being lathered in a bowl. *I didn't shave with it, it wasn't my brush or cream but the vendors*bernards66 wrote:Never tried their Lime, and I don't know if the cream is the same as the first batch that they sold, but that stuff I found odd.

The tub didn't feel cheapie to me, it felt just fine in my hand perhaps they improved upon it and the formula of the Rose, like I said smelt wonderful.
Maybe when I go down, Tony will crack open one pot of the limes for me to smell and try it, but with what has been posted my hopes aren't high

Aaron, Well, I hope so. The original pots were of plastic so thin that you could squeeze and bend them in your hand even when they were full of cream. Just tacky. As I mentioned, I thought the creams shaved pretty well, but between that cheap packaging, the weird texture, and the so-so scents, I just couldn't go there. I know a couple of experianced shavers who use the stuff regularly though.

Tony of The Golden Nib? The knots in my 2 favorite brushes came from there, and I have 2 more on the way this week. It would be interesting to get your impressions of the man and the business (assuming I'm not totally off base here).Sodapopjones wrote:...Maybe when I go down, Tony will crack open one pot of the limes for me to smell...

Pretty cool guy, after all I got to mess around in his work shop and he was even gracious enough to have his daughter make me an espresso.
Good peoples in my book

I'm another fan of Taylor Lemon Lime. I'm finally finishing up a tub and have another ready to take its place. The only time I tried Vulfix was some time ago and that was the Lavender scent. Gordon was right about the container but it did seem to work okay. The scent though smelled more like laundry detergent than lavender. I don't think of myself as a fan of citrus scents but I also have the Castle Forbes Lime which has a great lime scent and I recently bought Cyril Salter's sublime citrus which is a grape fruit scent and is one of the best scented creams I have ever had. Works great too.

+1 on Castle Forbes lime. As true to lime as you can get, and a great performer. It's a bit expensive, but you're worth itAFG wrote:I'm another fan of Taylor Lemon Lime.
