CRABTREE & EVELYN FOR MEN : Nomad Calming Shave Cream

CRABTREE & EVELYN FOR MEN

Crabtree & Evelyn has created a benefit-driven collection of shaving and grooming essentials for men. Whom You Know is pleased to expand our coverage of Crabtree and Evelyn to include their men's products!

Carefully selected natural ingredients – almond oil, vitamin E, glycerine - soothe, calm, and protect the skin. AFTER-SHAVE BALMS are alcohol-free, SOAPS are moisturising and rich lathering, and the HAIR & BODY WASH is an all-in-one formula for hair, scalp, and body. In particular, the advanced formula of SHAVE CREAM WITH VITAMIN E has been created to give the finest shave in the world.

Here at Whom You Know, our men reviewed the Nomad Shave Cream with Vitamin E (150g/$25, 100g/$15)

Indulge him with the world’s finest shave cream. This advanced formula produces a rich creamy lather to soften the beard for a close comfortable shave. Extracts of moisturizing glycerine and vitamin E have been added to calm and heal the skin, leaving it ultra smooth.

Our panel thought:

"The product comes in a well-designed and unique package, certainly not what you usually see for shaving cream. At first I was a bit skeptical, after all who wants to smell like a Nomad or a camel? However, as soon as I opened the tube of Nomad, I could smell the sophisticated and very masculine scent. Crabtree & Evelyn go the extra mile and include a classy-looking metal applicator, to allow you to evenly apply the cream without getting your fingers messy. The feel of the cream is one of quality, not like the fizzy, airy feel of most other commercial shaving creams, that dissipate mere seconds after it is applied. If you wanted to, you could apply Nomad, have a ten minute phone conversation, and THEN shave."

"You may have to pay a bit more for Nomad, but it delivers with its great smell, packed-in applicator, and smooth, thick consistency that delivers on setting the table for a great shave."

"Nomad has an invigorating citrusy aroma that gives a pleasant awakening jump-start to your morning shave. It is more of a lotion than a creme or gel, and this gives it more lubrication which allows for a closer shave with more protection from
nicks and cuts."

"Nomad leaves your face feeling moisturized, smooth and refreshed, and Nomad was more sensitive to my skin than a similar type product I have used in past from Arbonne."

"Call me crazy, but I'm a guy who likes a little lather. Oh, and I'm usually accustomed to a sporty or mountain-clean scent. Once I got past "this is not what I'm used to" I actually liked this shave cream. I have very sensitive skin and as a result I can only shave once every 3 days or so. Using NOMAD by CRABTREE & EVELYN shave cream, I got a close shave with no bumps or irritation of any kind, and it left a great scent. All considered, I'm a fan and will use NOMAD again. And I don't have to wait three days - bonus!"

The bottom line from Peachy Deegan: Crabtree and Evelyn have impressed us with a successful product that facilitates shaving and makes it an enjoyable experience with Nomad Calming Shave Cream. I even tried it myself and it works just as well for women. The classic scent is fabulous as well and we love the texture and quality of the cream.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
