Arlington Rakningskräm Tub £11.50 - D R Harris London

The tube arrived sooner than I expected, and the scent is exactly what I was hoping for—bright citrus up front with that soft fern underneath. It whips into a thick, cushiony lather that stays slick through the whole shave, and my skin doesn’t feel tight afterward.

The tube dispenses just the right amount for a thick, creamy lather that doesn’t dry out mid-shave, and the scent lingers subtly without being overpowering. I’ve tried pricier creams that don’t come close to this smoothness, so it’s earned a permanent spot in my routine.

That citrus and fern scent is genuinely refreshing without being overpowering, and the lather it builds is thick enough to make even a cheap brush feel luxurious. A small dab goes a long way, so the tube lasts me about three months of daily shaves.
