Viking Revolution Shaving Cream for Men - Sandalwood - 5.3 oz

As a "seasoned" wet shaver, I can claim this is the creamiest of all those I've used; this allows for a much smoother shave. Further, a slight dab of the shaving brush gives more cream than required, and yet one pot lasts longer than any other cream I've used. It does have a very pleasant scent, light, but I can't identify sandalwood.

Never used this stuff or any shave cream sold in a tub before. Tried it for the first time this evening and it's excellent stuff. Probably the best shave I've had using the same brush and razor I was already using. I was also surprised how little is needed to achieve a good lather particularly as I live in an area with very hard water. The only downside is having something with a viking logo in my bathroom, it's a bit 2005.. weirdly the logo also shows a huge beard which is the exact opposite of what the product is for. However this stuff is so good I can totally overlook that. At some point ol probably sand and polish the logo off the lid. The container is good quality heavy plastic and even has an inner lid anyway. Maybe they could change their logo and market their excellent product at men who wear socks with their shoes. I'd definitely still recommend the product despite the logo. Still amazed at how little it takes to get a good shave. Update 7 months later: shave the face and manoarts once or twice a week for 7 months and still have one or two shaves left in the pot. Still puzzled a shaving product has a beardy bloke on the logo but I've now subscribed as it's such good stuff. I've also noticed when you look at cost per shave it comes in way cheaper than mainstream supermarket shaving products.

Product has distinctive packaging and container with two lids (inner lid I guess to prevent product from spilling when opening outer lid. In addition a free sticker size of lid is provided as with many products these days, advertising I suppose, but a nice gesture all the same. The product is quite gloopy, not solid like other creams I’ve used, but once on the shaving brush and applied it provides a good long term lather constituency with no need to reapply resulting in a good clean shave. As I am big fan of the sandalwood scent this RV shaving cream is a must, only thing I would criticise about it is that the scent could be stronger (for me at least). I will probably buy this product again as it is a reasonable priced.

WOW ! What a difference , I have had the best shave in years using this , fantastic 😁👍

Nice, smooth shaving cream and lovely fragrance. Sandalwood Wife always comments on the smell. You only need a small amount on your face and you have a smooth shave. Also good value as one pot should last longer as you don't need to put a lot on like some shaving creams

As a 20+ year DE Shaver I've sampled my fair share of shaving creams, brushes, and razors. Unfortunately, this one isn't for me. I'd hoped it came close to the more well-known brands and personally I can't say that it does. The first thing I noticed was the smell; it's relatively chemical in nature and the sandalwood, though present, is overpowered. It's pleasant enough to use, and I could get used to it, but I wouldn't say it's the most enjoyable scent to shave with. Secondly, and most unfortunately for me, is its lathering capability; personally, I find it to be too aerated once whipped up with a brush. I've tried using a number of methods, with varying amounts of cream, and the results are always the same. Unfortunately that results in the shaver not being able to glide as well as could be expected. Overall, it was worth a shot and I'll continue to use it, but I'll be heading back to the more well-known brands in future.

Excellent Shaving cream

Very creamy stops the shaving rash nice smell i bought the bigger jar .

I've been wet shaving forever so I've pretty much tried them all. I’ve pretty much stuck to the higher end quality shaving products. Over the last few years I've decided to steer off course and try a medley of items off my radar or passed over because I wouldn't have given them a second thought. I decided to see if I was missing anything so I stepped off my high horse, put my shaving products snobbery in check and dove in. Here's my setup: I did two separate shaves with two days growth each. I used an aggressive open comb razor, a razor blade on the sharper end of the spectrum (on a scale of sharpness from 1 to 100, it's in the 95 percentile). My first shave I whipped up a nickel-sized amount of lather in a bowl with a quality badger brush and applied on my face. Two days later for my second shave I applied cream on a dry brush directly to my dry face and lathered with a wet high quality synthetic brush. Here's what I found: Lathers up quick and thick, the lubrication was slick, my blade glided effortlessly over my face. Blade cushioning and protection is excellent, at times it felt like I was shaving without a blade - no nicks, no scratches, no errors. I let the razor's weight do all the work; I only mention this because when you get that "I don't think there's a blade in my razor" feeling there is that tendency to apply a little pressure to the skin. Don't. Do. It. You will get nicks, cuts, razor burn or all of the above. I was able to get a BBS shave with a WTG and a ATG and a little touchup. Very impressive. Some observations: I find that I need more than the usual amount of water when making a rich lather. What I do in the bowl is build a lather normally and dip my brush to add more water as I go and as needed, I did the same on my face but kept adding water in small amounts, less chance of overdoing it and getting runny. While shaving I found that the lather would build up in my razor as if the lather was too thick, so I rinsed my razor more frequently. In conclusion: If I were in a hurry and needed a close shave with little prep, I would definitely reach for this cream. Smear on face with brush, whip up a lather, shave, rinse, go. I am going to use this cream in rotation. I have not used with a mild to medium closed comb razor yet, but I think it should work a well as my other preferred shaving creams.

Top notch. I am an old guy that has tried everything...ask my wife. I have thick whiskers and sensitive, flourescent, allergic to most stuff in shaving products skin. I bought the unscented cream. I opened it up. It has an internal lid to keep the cream from going every which way. I scraped the lid on the side of the jar to get the excess cream off. I used a wet brush to pick up what miniscule amount was on that lid. I did my usual face lather with a Phoenix Artisan synthetic. I was impressed. I had enough lather to do at least two 3-pass shaves. With just a few drop of water added to the brush, I built up an industrial lather, no bubbles and did not dissipate. I had no irritation or sensitivity to the cream. Great glide and cushion. Baby butt smooth shaves, weeper and burn free, were achieved. This is a cream akin to Taylor of Old Bond Street. A little goes a long way. Great product at a great price. I will be buying more.

I haven't tried this shaving cream yet because I just got it today so it's probably a decent product. Here's my complaint the container has no seal to keep it from leaking when I received it it leaked inside the box. I've bought cheaper tubs of shaving cream on Amazon that has a seal on them I expect better from a company that's a little better. Its not Amazon's fault it's the fault of the viking revolution company. Im not sure if I'll buy it again. 9/12 I was going to shave with this cream at first I noticed that it was lumpy so I tried lathering it up with my bowel and brush it did not work very well still lumpy. Very disappointing. I have used the beard products wich seem to work fine but the shaving cream no good especially for the price. I will go back to the stuff I've been using plus it's less expensive.

You should use very little. If not it will clog up your razor. Best shave I ever had

…it’s a crazy mess when you open the container. It works beautifully - thick and creamy and super-slippery. Also moisturizes nicely. I really love using it. But - I'm glad I use it in the shower, and not at a sink. The soap is soooo viscous that a good hunk of it comes up when you remove the inner lid (which is then difficult to replace/reseal). Until you use enough that the level gets lower, it’s going to create a mess (and waste) every time you open it. Otherwise it works great - just the right thickness to provide terrific lubrication without being sticky and hard to rinse. I just think their packaging needs to be re-thought out. it looks cool in this tub 'n all - but a squeeze tube seems to make more sense!
