Forest Essentials Shaving Cream Sandalwood & Orange Peel | Ayurvedic Natural Shaving Cream for Smooth Razor Glide

Excellent product and good for the skin

It is costly but worth it. Just need a pea size to cream so it's good

When you buy this, you are paying 50% of the price for the Forest Essentials name and another 25% for the nice scent. In its basic function as a lathering shaving cream, it is poorer than INR 200 supermarket shaving creams like Godrej or Old Spice or Nivea.The lather does not hold thickness for more than a few minutes as it almost washes away like a medium lathering facewash.

Firstly, this is not a bad shaving cream by any stretch of imagination. My beef with it is about the pricing. If that doesn't concern you, then you may skip the rest of the review and go ahead with the purchase. Otherwise you may continue reading for more information.Alright, this is a good shaving cream. But it definitely doesn't blow my mind. What does though is the price. If I were to pick one best Indian Shaving Cream, it would be Vicco Turmeric with Sandalwood Oil. It's exceptional in every way I can imagine. And it's cheap. But I am someone who constantly keeps exploring options to see what all I like, what all I can recommend, and so on.I was drawn to this product as it said sandalwood. But unfortunately it's just in the name. Sandalwood oil /paste is the last ingredient in the list and it's at 0.4%. Yes, I am serious. So, for the 60 gms tube this comes in, it contains 0.28 gms of sandalwood oil/paste. And still they call it Sandalwood and Orange Peel shaving cream?Needless to say, it has no sandalwood smell at all. I didn't get any orange either. It smelled floral, more like orange blossom maybe. But all I got was jasmine in the many sniffs I had before the first usage. I was so unhappy because I hated jasmine. It gives me headaches. But as I started using it, the smell grew on me and I started liking it more and more. In fact I even bought their after shave in the same scent.This shaving cream produces a nice lather, which is good enough but not the best I've used. I like Godrej sensitive, Old Spice, Wild Stone shaving creams other than Vicco Turmeric with sandalwood oil. This is a notch, or even a few notches (not many though) above everything except Vicco. But I still think that's not a fair comparison. Coz they all cost about 1/10th of this.For this price point, I can only compare it with imported ones like Proraso. And the quality is not on par at all. Only price is. And remember that the Proraso creams have the import duty and added shipping cost involved in the price itself, even if it's not explicitly stated. Still 150 ml of them, which is thicker and more dense, is comparatively cheaper. And being volume based (sold by ml rather than gms) being a thicker cream is advantageous to the buyer. Still the equation is just under Rs 10 to under Rs 13 per ml while this product works out to Rs 13 per gm. And that's without any import duty as it's made locally.Considering the price, it's just about mediocre at best. I would probably never buy it again. Being a 3 pass shaver who shaves alternate days, this 60 gms tube lasted me 15 shaves. Old Spice shaving cream in 70 gms tube lasts me 18 shaves. So this lasts slightly more. But I am not saving anything as it's about 10 times as expensive.If you wanna try a new Indian Shaving Cream that's premium only in price, then this is for you. For any other reason, I would definitely not recommend it at all.

Must for everyday use since synthetic creams ruin your facial skin and make your skin age quicker. Always use natural products for shaving and face. Lather and scent is equally good just like gillette products. Would definitely recommend.

Blissful experience, feels entry level Luxury, Lather is very good, Fragrance is authentic, overall its excellent creation by Indian Company.

Bad smell in cream I think old cream in new bottle please pass my return. And I feel good that I buy from Amazon.

This organic shaving cream is a boon to those looking for chemical free product.
