This. Wow.

I'm going to use it again later to replicate my results last night. Ultimate test!

I actually had to look this up because I had never heard of it. It's a whopping nine bucks on Amazon.

Lol, I'm a big spender what can I say? Ha-ha!

I got it for more or less $10 bucks from ebay. Saw it from a forum post months before; I got curious so I placed an order and didn't think much of it. Yesterday I decided to try it again, cause I've had it for a few months now and used it only once, with an unbroken in Semogue if I recall correctly, and I seem to remember I didn't think much of this cream. (the brush ate my lather and I boar-newbie blamed the cream)

Decided to rotate my soaps and creams for 2 months, got this out of the closet and shave with it yesterday without expecting much.

Man.. this is the closest shave I have ever had, and very comfortable too. It looks unusual, and the scent is almost non-existent, very faint but I would rate it's performance really up there among the topshelves in my den, if it's not my best. Very underrated in my experience.

YMMV but I'm happy I gave this cream a second look.

all Wm Neumann products. Ive been using their aftershave products for 1 1/2 years now. Def my favorite. And no one ever talks about them

The spelling is not that difficult!!

Thank you! We're still pretty young and we don't make shaving soap, so I'm still pretty surprised with how much we've grown in just over a year of business.

Also, you'd be surprised to know that it gets spelled "Chantillon" about 25% of the time at a conservative estimate :p

Biotique Bio Palmyra Shave Cream is great stuff! And cheap! It is also one of the slickest shaves out there. YMMV!(of course)


Another underrated product is C.O. Bigelow Shaving Cream. It's said to be Proraso Green cream rebranded, but this is one of the few traditional wet shaving products I can find locally. I tried it for the first time a couple of nights/mornings ago and it worked great for me. I'm usually a shaving soap guy, but this was a lot of fun!

I know right? Wow. I'm thinking stocking up on these, I just don't know if they expire!! Ha-ha

I heard that about C.O. Bigelow, it's great to find really inexpensive items that work so well. Congrats dude

Don't know if it's considered underrated, but received the $20 slant from razorock and had a great shave with it. Great bang for your buck.

Shaving with Charky calls you "Chateau", even though your label clearly spells something very different. I thought that was kinda funny.
