Got a used tube of the Lemon and one of the Lavender in a shave cream lot I bought a few months ago. Decided to give the Lemon a try today.
To my surprise the cream made lots of nice lather. Not as rich in the mug but when I rubbed the brush on my face the lather broke out into a nice fairly rich lather.
As I shaved I found the lather to be very slick. The razor (a DE) glided across my face with nary a nick or cut and absolutely no irritation.
I think the Derby cream will provide the necessary moisturizing I need as well.
But, this is the determining factor as to whether I would buy this cream again. The scent. The lemon scent was more like lime and a very, very, very strong. So strong that I found it very annoying. With such a strong annoying and obnoxious scent I would not buy it ever.
It is rather cheap, like $3 a tube but still the scent leaves me very turned off on the cream.

I may just have to give it a try...........
