Noxema, I Think I Love You.

thanks! Thats precisely what I was trying to find out. Down the road I may see what happens if I shave with only noxema.
Noxema is great post - shave too. Don't need aftershave or moisturizer after my shave when I finish my routine with noxema.
Does anyone know of a video describing the Noxzema process?
Interesting! I'll be trying this 
The last time I used Noxema was about 30 yrs ago.

I have been using it for about two weeks now. I put it on right out of the shower then apply my Palmolive stick the lather. For the second pass I just use the loaded brush. Makes the shave much smoother in my opinion.
Come on man...really? No need for a video. Put a thin layer of Noxzema on before every pass. Lather right on top of it. The end. Roll credits.
that was more entertaining then the Interview and more intelligent 
I never believed I'd find a product replacement for my beloved Noxzema Cleansing Cream. It's still the best value around for the price. I must report my shaves are more enjoyable with this Neutrogena product.
Recently I saw this product on my local grocery store shelf for 3.99. First, I experimented using the product without any other traditional shaving soaps or creams. It works well but the shaver loses the enjoyment of the traditional wet shaving experience. Upon further experimentation, I began substituting the Neutrogena in place of my Noxzema Cleansing Cream. I rub just a small amount of Neutrogena into my wet whiskers. I use my brush and lather my favorite scented soap or cream directly over-top the Neutrogena. I complete my WTG pass, rinse with cold water and repeat the process before each razor pass.
I experienced my best S.R. shave to date. The shave was on par with a DE razor, Muhle R41 and feather blade Zen experience. The Neutrogena doesn't have a strong scent like Noxzema Cleansing Cream. It doesn't mask the scent of your favorite shaving soap or cream. For those shavers who are turned off by the smell of Noxzema this is a wonderful alternative. I'll be replacing Noxzema with Neutrogena in my shaving routine.

heading to the grocery store anyway....so I'll pick some up and give it a go!
I've been a noxzema guy for many decades. But if this beats it, then I'm game. It's on my grocery list now.
got some today and I'll try it out tomorrow....I've been a long time Noxema/Glycerin mix guy for every pass...but I'm always willing to try something new...especially for $4
Anyone know if Noxzema blue tub expires? I know it has the "12M" symbol on it signifying it has a shelf life of 12 months after being opened but can it be used safely after ..let's say.. 2 years? Want to try this method and I have an almost full tub that sat on my dresser for for at least two years. It's a bit runny, but nothing a good stir couldn't fix, haha.
I have to say that the scent disappearing must be an individual experience. I can put a pea size bit on my face, and it overpowers the scents of even the strongest smelling soaps/creams I use. Though, I do have a bit of a hounds nose, so maybe I'm more sensitive than most. I quit using Noxema except for with Proraso green. I may pick up some of that Neutrogena stuff listed a couple posts back.
I agree, if it's 100% Noxema and depending on how much water is on your beard at the time of application. I saturate my beard with as much hot water as it will hold, then immediately add a 1/4 to 1/2 almond sized and rub it in. The Noxema concentration becomes greatly reduced at this point.
I am amazed at the protection this offers relative to pre-shave oil or nothing for that matter.
Peace!
For a total face freeze use it underneath Proraso Eucalyptus and Menthol. Great protection and off-the-charts cooling.
