Vintage Coates Almond Shave Cream

[Squire]

I expect it's the individual tubes rather than the scents that are fading, given their age. I'm surprised they have lasted this well.

I have now used all 6 scents and I have found that all except the almond have been very satisfactory. All have given me nothing but excellent shaves. I have a considerable stash which I will store in my wine cellar. I will report back in 10 years and let you know how they hold their scents

Cracked open a new tube of Almond Coates for this morning's shave. The lather is excellent, but the fragrance is quite mild. Milder than my others (Sandalwood, Lavender, and Rose) but I'm not complaining. Slickness is one thing I insist on having in my shaving soaps and creams, and I am happy to report the Almond was very slick and cushiony.

Gary, about two years ago I worked through all six scents and while I liked them all, the Almond was far and away my favorite in terms of performance. All the scents have gotten pretty weak over time. Having never tried Coates when it was still made, maybe the scents weren't very strong to begin with. I don't know.

I started to be greedy and not share this, but that's no way to be, so LOOK:
