Old-world decadence

Absinthe is remembered today by readers of Ernest Hemingway and is enjoying a renaissance of interest, and if you've ever smelled the musky, minty, sweet and grassy scent of this thujone-rich wormwood, you'll understand what the fuss was all about among the Paris expatriates, and why in Geneva it was still mascerated in secret despite a century-long ban. You won't get high off this cream, but your senses will enjoy a truly rich experience. It's a bit more pricey than my other creams because essential oil of 'artemesia absinthium L' isn't cheap. But I think you'll agree with me that it's worth it.

Finest ingredients

My shaving cream is hand crafted from basic organic oils, as well as extra liquid glycerin, lanolin, and kaolin clay to give the slickest, most comfortable possible shave and leave your skin softened and enlivened. I put more into this cream than you'll find in any of the expensive European creams, for much less money.

Shamrock creams contains generous amounts of kaolin clay. The best commercial shaving soaps contain fine clays to slicken your face so the razor glides across it, giving a closer shave without razor "drag" or burn. The most expensive shaving luxury creams leave this helpful ingredient out, in order to get a more pearly look from the stearic acid they add. I use the same ingredient to give my cream a fuller, longer-lasting lather, but I also add the clay to give your shave a smooth, comfy glide.

Also, you'll look far and wide for a cream containing real lanolin. Shamrock cream is more than 2 percent pure lanolin, which leaves your face even softer than glycerin alone can make it.

A great deal

Last of all, Shamrock's shaving cream is a great deal. I decided to try making my own cream after buying a Moss Scuttle so I could make HOT foam with a badger brush. The drawback was, I was spending about 75 cents each morning, filling the scuttle with enough British luxury cream to make the lather in the bowl both thick and hot. Not only is this cream less expensive -- less than half as much per ounce as Truefitt & Hill or other top brands -- it also produces more lather by weight than commercial creams I've used. Once you dip the brush and start swirling it around your face, it fairly explodes into white, creamy, whisker-enveloping lather, with an even more powerful aroma that opens your nostrils and makes you glad you're a man who shaves with a blade.
