It is my HG too not because of the smell or the texture but because it is the ONLY lotion I can use after shaving. I discovered some months ago when my cousin came to visit me from Canada and bought it here. Usually when I shave, it doesn't matter how I shave, what razor I use, the foam, nothing... as soon as I try to put some lotion on my legs small red bumps start to appear all over itching like crazy. The skin in my legs is horribly sensitive I'm always scared to try new lotions on them after shaving because it gets really bad. I tried this one and nothing happens, no bumps, no itch, and it leaves my skin soft.... I love it! Not crazy about the smell though. But it is my after-shaving HG lotion.
