Item Description
This stuff is simply awesome. I am not one of you shave geeks that is interested in having 50 products to rotate. I am just looking to a few good ones to wife up. I have been rotating Proraso (Green Tube), C&E Sienna, Jack Black Beard Lube, Anthony Logistics for Men Shave Cream, AOS Unscented, Kiehls Blue Eagle (my previous go to cream) and Clinique Cream Shave. This Barc stuff is just a cut above the rest and will be my new go-to cream, with AOS being a close second. C&E Sienna is great too and I love the smell. I like the Proraso because it is a great value. I currently use it for traveling, but I don’t think it is in the same class as Barq, AOS or C&E. I am a shaving brush/DE convert so I won’t be using any of the other creams any more since they are brushless.
The Barc cream produces bountiful thick lather and when I am shaving with it, it barely feels like the blade is touching my skin. Yet I know it is because it's cleaning up every inch of the cream in each pass. The result is a smooth, comfortable, nick-free shave the likes of with I have never experienced.
The only drawback to this cream is the unappealing packaging, which is a non-issue to me. Also, some shavers may prefer a more odorous potion. The Barc has a nice simple clean smell, along the lines of Proraso but much more subtle. This is fine for me because I don't want really want to smell my shaving products. If you live in DC or ATL you can get Barc products locally at The Grooming Lounge.
