Fine uses a tallow base which creates a rich and thick lather which ShaveSplash characterizes as creamy. It includes a number of beneficial skin foods including Coconut Oil, an emolient and cleanser, Jojoba Oil, a conditioner, Argan Oil, an antioxidant, and Mango Oil, another emolient. The result is a lather with excellent cushion, density, and high stability, which combined provide strong protection. Depite the absence of glycerin, slickness is also very high. Overall, a high quaility and well constructed base which makes for a smooth shave and adquately hydrated post-shave feel.
