I have the same cream. This current production of Ingram cream (owned by Three Pears Brand) is a disappointment in terms of lathering. However, the previous production (owned by Lornamead, with a coat of arms on the box and tube) is absolutely charming. I still have 2 and a half tubes of the Lornamead Ingram left. Like you've mentioned, they have turned into liquid over the past 8+ years, but they still lather beautifully! Have a great day!
Nice try Paul, thanks to PAA for a shave. Bad batch maybe, who knows. Gorgeous flowers Mrs H thanks. Great video and results as always. Super blade, Swedish Gillette. See ya next time, thanks.
Hi Paul great shave! This flowers in background so beautiful thanks to Mrs. Humphrey! This with the Desaster of the Shaving cream how do that make is awesome. That can always happen that is so. I remember the shaving soap from Biobaza that was a hard work 😂. But for a pre Shave not bad! Have a great week Paul!
Finally had my Ming shi 3000 arrive after watching you use yours.... result after a few days and different blades is that it's in the bin. Lost a layer or 2 of skin no matter the adjustment. Blade gaps looked fine but DAMN it was rough. First experiment with a Variable is a failure. Back to the Merkur 23c in a few days time, give my face some time to settle down. Have a few Qshave adjustables on their way from Chine for a lark. may work out if not, a Merkur futur or progress will be making it's way to my house in Australia. Cheers for the great videos.
Good morning Paul excellent shave and a perfect example of things not always going to plan with a shave. Beautiful flowers by Mrs H as always. Enjoy your day
Beautiful flowers, Mrs H. Great video, Paul. I was a bit surprised by the result of the shaving cream because I have never had any trouble with Ingram when I use it very occasionally. I decided to check the tube and, just like ashima said in his comment, mine has the coat of arms on it. Just to make sure, I lathered some up in a bowl and had no problem whatsoever. I really don't know how manufacturers get away with using inferior products and passing them off as original. Same goes with Old Spice in a tube; it smells nothing like the original Old Spice did. Anyway, thanks for not editing it out, Paul. It means I won't be replacing my current Ingram with the new version, so you've saved me some time and money.
Ive got three flare tips a 55,60 and 73. They all have different handle designs but they all basically shave the the same. The flare tip is a razor I can use everyday. In fact I have used them everyday for months on end. As fir your shave with Ingram shaving cream. I had a similar experience with Arko shaving cream. The cream just irritated my face and gave me bumps all over. I had throw the tube away and wait a few days for the bumps to go away. I shaved again with Nivea shaving cream and it was perfect.
Just tried to lather a tube I bought from Bodycare, same result. This isn't Ingram shaving soap. Squeezed a bit out of an old tube I bought from Superdrug prior to them discontinuing to sell it. It lathers like Parmolive. Bodycare need to be informed the Ingram they are selling is faulty or a poor copy.
Hi Paul- Great Wednesday shave; thank you! A nice pivot from the original shave- well done! Lovely, flowers from Mrs H with beautiful colors, indeed; thank you! The Sagrada Familia brush is always a favorite to use. I hope you have a great rest of the week. Be safe and be well. See you on Sunday for the weekend shave. All the best, Paul!
Wow!!! What a colorful and beautiful flower display! That Ingram shaving cream was a real disappointment. Shaving creams are my favorite because they are so easy to face lather. You can't go wrong with any PAA soaps when it comes to bowl lathering. And mentholated shaves are very refreshing. In the end, you had a great shave. Next stop is Hot & Spicy Saturday. Cheers!
Still ended up being a stellar shave, I’m glad you left the introduction shave cream fail in , that really gave a insight on how things happen to go at times and don’t work out. Thanks for what you do on your channel I always enjoy watching your videos!!!!!
Those razors make such a distinct sound. I'd know it in my sleep. I never have been able to use menthol on my face. It's just too harsh and unpleasant. Oh well. Fortunately, there are so many non-menthol options available that it's not a problem. Thanks for all the years of enjoyable and informational videos!
Bad batch that cream, or possibly it froze sometime during shipment. I dunno. Anyway, the Super Speed always gives a superb shave. One of the best razors Gillette ever made, and plenty they did. Have a good week and see you for the Sunday shave.
I have used ‘Frozen Lemon Ice’ from Wet the Face that was soooo mentholated that when I put my helmet on to ride my Triumph to work I would have tears running down my cheeks. I would tell people that using that stuff was like having the prettiest woman in the world slap you in the face, twice, smile, then expose herself. Couldn’t use it everyday, but never regretted it.
I enjoyed this shave, seeing how things dont go as planned sometimes. That cream may be useful as a pre shave. Beautiful flower Mrs H. My sotd was my rockwell 6c, with an all proraso red shave. Have a great week the both of you 🍺
I bought some of this at the weekend and had exactly the same result with a synthetic brush, I tried more cream, more water and applying it straight onto my face and it wouldn't lather at all. Gave up and used another soap. I'll try with a boar brush next time and if that doesn't work it can go in the bin. Update, tried to lather it again with a few other brushes and more and less water, nothing so it's heading for the bin.
Ahora te escribiré en mi idioma natal. Hace varios años te sigo por You Tube. Eres una inspiración para mi en este mundo del afeitado tradicional. Empecé a amar este mundo desde que me tope con tu canal y me llamo la atención las intros que tienes con esos arreglos florales tan bellos. Desde hace años estoy aprendiendo mucho sobre mundo , jabones, cremas, bálsamos y las diferentes herramientas que hay disponible para disfrutar de un afeitado suave y duradero. En este video nos traes productos épicos con muy buena reputación en toda la comunidad...Thanks a lot for your time, love and dedication🇦🇷🇦🇷
Lovely bright Reddish/Pink carnations, thanks Mrs.H. That's what happens to me a lot when I pick up what looks like a shaving cream from local Chemist, they turn out to be brushless and latherless. Take care Paul.👍🤠
i just use the ingram as pre-shave mine those i´ve got as you say also be old stock, but have googled it many has problems lathering it so maybe it a non lathering shaving cream ? great shaving video fun stuff. stay safe, cheers....Peter
Nice shave Paul and thanks for the honest review. The stark comparison between the soap and that cream says it all. Is it possible that, that particular Ingram tube is a brushless non foaming cream?
The only tube of shaving cream I ever finished was a tube of Ingram. Now, I have one tube of the blue and one of the green. Too bad the tube you got wouldn't lather. I wonder why not.
Hi Paul. So,even though i watched your vid on how pump the ingram cream is i still went and bought some. Oh dear. No matter what brush or water ratio ive used its been absolutely dire. The original ingram which i have fond memories of was wonderful. This is just appalling.
The maker of Ingram Shaving Cream need to be informed! Not likely an "old product on the shelf too long". More likely either blending mistake or filled into the wrong packaging. Who have used the product and found bad results need to tell the company, and maybe give the remainder to them as a sample to investigate. Some viewers might be still wondering; what would the shave be like if you continued to use it for at least one pass? Would the product allow for a good wet-shave pass or more?
The menthol in that soap can't be all that strong. Your eyes aren't trying to escape from their sockets and there isn't a flood of mucus pouring from your nose. 🤣
I have the same cream. This current production of Ingram cream (owned by Three Pears Brand) is a disappointment in terms of lathering.

That could be the issue, new owner brand. Many thanks 🙂
Today's shave I used a 1958 gillette fatboy with proraso green and brut 33 aftershave. Great video I love menthol shaves
Nice try Paul, thanks to PAA for a shave. Bad batch maybe, who knows. Gorgeous flowers Mrs H thanks. Great video and results as always. Super blade, Swedish Gillette. See ya next time, thanks.
Your video inspired me to find a 1966 SS, and on eBay I found one under 15$, great condition and wow very good shaver. Thank you Paul
@PaulHFilms another great heartwarming shave video.
Hi Paul great shave! This flowers in background so beautiful thanks to Mrs. Humphrey! This with the Desaster of the Shaving cream how do that make is awesome. That can always happen that is so. I remember the shaving soap from Biobaza that was a hard work 😂. But for a pre Shave not bad! Have a great week Paul!
I think that gillette superspeed flare tip is the most classic safety razor of all time!Greetings from Greece!
Great Video Mate ! I bought the same razor at a antique store for $10.00 today great 👍 shave !
Finally had my Ming shi 3000 arrive after watching you use yours.... result after a few days and different blades is that it's in the bin. Lost a layer or 2 of skin no matter the adjustment. Blade gaps looked fine but DAMN it was rough. First experiment with a Variable is a failure. Back to the Merkur 23c in a few days time, give my face some time to settle down.

Lovely bright Reddish/Pink carnations, thanks Mrs.H. That's what happens to me a lot when I pick up what looks like a shaving cream from local Chemist, they turn out to be brushless and latherless. Take care Paul.👍🤠
Paul Ingram used make , a brushing shave soap in a tube , they also did a ""BRUSLESS ""soap in a similar tube , were you useing the correct one. ??😉👍
Is it possible that it is a brushless cream? Seeing as it says lather shave cream instead of shaving cream, just a thought 💭
Great shave overall Paul
i just use the ingram as pre-shave mine those i´ve got as you say also be old stock, but have googled it many has problems lathering it so maybe it a non lathering shaving cream ? great shaving video fun stuff. stay safe, cheers....Peter
Nice shave Paul and thanks for the honest review. The stark comparison between the soap and that cream says it all. Is it possible that, that particular Ingram tube is a brushless non foaming cream?
it said "lather shaving cream" so it should be able to lather with a brush. I guess they reformulated it.
The only tube of shaving cream I ever finished was a tube of Ingram. Now, I have one tube of the blue and one of the green. Too bad the tube you got wouldn't lather. I wonder why not.
What is your favorite vintage Gillette shaver?
Hi Paul.
So,even though i watched your vid on how pump the ingram cream is i still went and bought some.
Oh dear.
No matter what brush or water ratio ive used its been absolutely dire.
The original ingram which i have fond memories of was wonderful. This is just appalling.
nice shave👍
Many reviewers on Amazon said the same thing, it shouldn’t be labeled lather shave cream.
Good morning, Paul…
Good morning 🙂
I have a tube of Ingram from Egypt. Will be interesting to see if it is the same junk or not.
Yes, worth checking it.
Good morning 🖐️
Good morning 🙂
Never had issues lathering ingram might be a poor product. Perhaps you could use it as a preshave? 😊
