I had heard a lot about the Omega SC and thought I should try it out. Have used it the past week with Badger, boar and synthetic brushes. Tried different razors/blades as well. The following are my thoughts. Your experience will not be the same as mine so remember YMMV.
Ease of Lather - 10/10 BOOM! This stuff just explodes when you apply your brush to it. Lots and lots of lather, easily made
Longevity of Lather - 9/10 I made a lather and walked around my house for quite awhile and noticed no degradation of the lather. It appeared and stayed quite stable.
Skincare - 4/10 While the lather appeared great and lasted quite awhile, it didn't treat my face very well. The glide was ok but the cushion was sadly lacking. I definitely need after care such as a good witch hazel or balm or maybe combo of the two
Scent - A very subjective thing and the scent is noticeable, but to me, it smelled like something that disco dancers used back in the day
Price - Reasonable for the amount of cream and shipping
Buy Again? - I don't think so. It's not that this is a bad cream, it's just not good to me.

Proraso makes that soap for Omega I understand. Never tried it myself but the scent is supposed to be eucalyptus. A different take on Proraso Green which is eucalyptus & menthol, which I like. So you hung around with disco dancers that smelled like eucalyptus back I the day?

Thanks for the review. If I ever finish off one of my many soaps maybe I will give it a try.

I use Omega soap and cream now and then. Nothing over special but a solid product.
