Yep, I've used shaving cream on my face.
It worked pretty well, but your mileage may vary.
There are many from which to choose.
My faves:
Speick
Proraso Green
Nivea Creme A Raser (sp?)
Erasmic
Body Shop
Taylor's St. James
Taylor's Sandalwood

Well, it's a non-lathering cream and the guy calls his website Hate To Shave. I don't think it's for me.
Like noted above by TorzJohnson its not lathering and before I agree with him about it not being for me let me say few things about the product.
I picked it up somewhere in Manhattan, however I don't remember the place. It clearly does what it claims, you get a clean close comfortable(CCC since we already have BBB) shave without razor burn, in addition its very moisturizing and can be re-applied as after shave. I dont want is say its not for me simply because I think in has a purpose as a go to cream when time is an issue. I have used it often as my second shave of the day. I get home on a Friday night after a long day at the office and decide to paint the town red; I grab my jar of About Face and get a quick close touch-up shave, and for those mornings when the alarm clock fails to go off About Face to the rescue. Its also great for traveling and overnighters, when I am on vacation I still want a CCC and a BBB face but a little quicker.
This all being said I enjoy my morning routine of making lather from one of my many creams or soaps (thanks B&B for introducing me to so many great products) then brushing it on, only to re-apply it for second and third pass that this or for that matter any brushless cream cant replace. Let me also add I tried many brushless creams and this was the best.
To recap About Face has a spot in my shaving den for the reasons I mention above and I will think it's worth a try.

Hmmm...you wouldn't happen to be affiliated with this product, would you?
In no way. Read all my back posts and you will see that this is the first time a I ever mentioned the product. Thanks for asking.
I wasn't talking to you...actually the original poster....
But thanks for answering!

No me either, if I were why would I ask others for info on it?
I would probably rave about it and say its the best thing since sliced bread!
I tried to get a sample and the inventor Allen, told me he does not give samples out, but has a 100% money back guarantee, all the three T's sent me samples, (yes even Taylor of Bond street who stopped giving samples squeezed on in for me from a fresh batch, and I got it today) and a few other popular makers also, so that was the main reason for asking. It sounded pretty good but I could not find any info on it in any shaving forums, even though it has been around for years.
