The reviews indicate significant disappointment with the new shaving cream formula, which many guests feel does not compare to the previously available honeyflower version. Guests have noted issues with its thin consistency, leading to irritation and ineffective shaving. While some appreciate the lotion-like texture, the overall sentiment leans towards dissatisfaction due to the lack of protection and quality in comparison to the former product. Guests are eager for the return of the original formula.

Disappointed
I only bought this because the Venus Rifle Paper Co honeyflower was out. I had no idea at the time it was discontinued. This isn't even close to a replacement. It irritated my skin at the first use; ironic when it's marketed as a sensitive skin product. Bring back the honeyflower.

This product replaced the Venus Pure Honeyflower Shave Cream. It has a completely different consistency and doesn’t produce a good shave. Really disappointed that the Honeyflower is no longer available.

Too thin, try the shave oil instead
The shaving cream is too thin and causes razor burn. Instead, try using a shave oil. It definitely worked better.

absolutely junk! I want the previous version back! honestly, this was a total waste of money & now I've gotta find something else. Do they ever consult with actual users of a product before totally screwing it up?

Poor Quality
This formula is not anywhere near the same quality as the prior formula, which appears to be discontinued.

Bring Back Honeyflower
This shaving cream is awful. Please bring back the Honeyflower shaving cream formulation. I bought this thinking it would be the same with just a different scent, but no this new formula sucks. Feels like I’m trying to shave with just plain lotion that washes away before I’m even able to shave. It’s way too runny and does absolutely nothing to protect my skin during shaving. Useless product.

Not good.
I bought this because the honeyflower version is now nowehere to be found? Anyway, this is not a substitute for that one. It's a lotion consistency, so not anywhere near as thick and creamy. Also, it has a problem dissolving. Clogged my razor and stuck all over my shower.
