You may still have about a quarter of this can left even after 10 months of use. A little goes a long, long way. You use only a tiny amount per shave, so the premium you pay up front is paid back by the fact that it lasts 4-6 months. It's difficult to believe that this stuff is so cheap-even with everyday use it will easily last 6 months.
Quality:
If you are going "old school" with your shaving, this is the means to do it. First, your wife will love the smell it leaves on you, and if you're not one for colognes, this has a great, masculine smell without being "perfumey". Inferior products are like shaving with wet watery soap whereas this cream creates a nice rich lather. Just so you understand, as you open this up you're not looking at a bowl of solid soap, this is in fact a tub of very creamy lotion. All you have to do is merely dip the tips of your badger hair brush in the lotion and then lather it up in your other hand if you like and then apply it to your face. A bit old fashioned maybe, nevertheless still a great and delightful manner to shave. There's just no comparison to the stuff that comes out of a can. It's warm, creamy, velvety, smells impressive, doesn't get all over your hands, and of course, works well as a lubricant for the razor.
It does ring true to the Taylor reputation of a smooth shave. If you are a first-time user for genuine shaving creams, "you'll use this once and never return to store or generic brands again"! You may experiment with others like Proraso, Art of Shaving, Truefitt and Hill, etc. although you won't return to Gillette!
This will provide you with a luxurious shave that makes wet-shaving well worth the additional effort.
