My shaving cream contains hand-crafted soap from basic organic oils, as well as lanolin and Redmond bentonite 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 Old Spice Cream contains generous amounts of Redmond bentonite clay. The best commercial shaving soaps have bentonite clay because it makes your face slippery so the razor glides across it, giving a closer shave without razor "drag" or burn. The most expensive shaving lathers, however, are the luxury creams that leave this helpful ingredient out. The beautiful pearly look of Vulfix, Truefitt & Hill and Trumper's comes from carefully blended stearic acid, but clay ruins the effect. So although I include the same ingredients they use to get the fullest, longest-lasting lather, I add the Redmond clay to give my razor a comfortable glide.

Also, you'll look far and wide for a cream containing real lanolin. Shamrock Old Spice cream contains fractioned, pourable lanolin to leave your face even softer than glycerin alone can make it.

I also include a stronger dose of scent than other creams I've used. Lots of shavers love Old Spice and since using a premium shaving cream makes it unnecessary to use aftershave to protect your face, I assume my customers want to really smell their cream, and have some fragrance linger after they've toweled the lather off their faces.

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 envigorating that opens your nostrils and makes you glad you're a man who shaves with a blade.
