Arlington Barbercreme i kop £19 - D R Harris London

A little goes a long way with this cream, and the lather it builds is thick and cushiony without being drying. The fern note comes through nicely once it's on the skin, balancing out the citrus. My face feels properly conditioned after each shave.

The citrus and fern scent is subtle enough for daily use but still feels like a proper treat each morning. The cream whips up into that luxury lather without needing much water, and a tiny amount covers my whole face.

The citrus and fern scent is present but not at all overpowering—it's exactly the kind of clean, classic smell I want in the morning. A small dab covers my whole face and the lather stays thick right through the last pass, which is saying something for a cream this soft.
