Shaving Creams (Reviews)

I like this cream for the price. It lathers up easily and shaves well. I would say it is slicker than most of my soaps. To date I've been exclusively a soap guy, and this is my first cream. The Patchouli smell is robust and lingers long after the shave. It is very earthy. This could be a good thing or a bad thing. Patchouli doesn't go with every aftershave or cologne in my opinion, so I only use it if I'm skipping the cologne afterwards. I'm not a huge fan of patchouli fragrance, but...

Bronnley have definitely hit the bullseye with this cream. Easily produced and very thick lather, an interesting scent (almonds with some fresh, more marine-ish notes) and fantastic moisturizing properties (In good Bronnley soap tradition the cream contains sweet almond oil, but also samphire -a kind of marine plant). Packaging is nice as well: a very heavy blue glass jar. On the lid a picture of a rocky beach and the sea: more modern than the classical packaging of three T's, but still...

:biggrin: Good stuff, Maynard! Keeps my face from getting beat up, even when I'm in a hurry.

For the past few couple of months, I’ve been using Granular Scrub by Face Tools. I use it 2-3 times per week, and for me, it has been the best “scrub” product I have used. Recently, I began using two more of the Face Tool products. This review is about “Cleanse ‘N Shave”, the shaving gel by Face Tools. Over a year ago I put away my Atra and Edge Gel, and this is the first time I have picked up a gel since then. I admit, I’ve had this product for a few weeks…I just couldn’t bring...

Who says that expensive is always the best? Not me! I have tried many different kinds of creams as well as soaps, some which I paid as much as 40 bucks for, and others which I paid as little as 1 buck and a half for, and I can tell you that sometimes you're better off going for the cheapest stuff. I know someone personally living in Poland, who I do business with, and he sent me a tube of this cream, and I must say the scent is nothing to hit the ceiling about, but at least you'll get a...

I went shopping around for shampoo and a few other things for my wife at this health food store here in town, and I heard of this shaving cream many times before, but never really thought of trying it. That is, until today when I saw it was on special for 2.50$ CDN for a 120ml tube. I can't say a thing about the packaging, hell, it just comes in a plastic tube, but it sure cost me little enough, and latherability wise, it sure is rich and creamy, about the scent, I have the lavender and shea...

When Nicole Sommers from Gents, LLC announced that she was selling men’s shaving products, my curiosity led me to visit her website to learn more about her products. Nicole is a licensed esthetician, which according to Wiki is, With my chronic problems of ingrown hairs and razor burns, I’ve long suspected that what I had been putting on my face was either adding to my problems or at least exacerbating them. Nicole’s product recommendation from her training as an esthetician allows her...

I have a wonderful friend living in Europe who's been sending me all kinds of gifts since the winter. I received the soap version of this brand not long ago, and a couple of days ago, he sent me a jar of this fantastic shaving cream. I'd classify it as a damn good, no frills kind of brand, a lovely mild, light citrusy scent which is super for summer, the lather is great, not much cream at all is required, so the jar will last a long time. Moisturization and skincare are guaranteed for those...

The Palmolive "Refreshing Lemon" shave cream is an excellent product. It makes an extremely wet lather, very slick on the face, and produced an outstanding shave. My face was a little tender from overshaving on Friday, so I went lightly this AM, and still got a great result--thanks to the Palmolive! The scent is a bit faint for my taste, but the lemon is in there--just a tad light for me. But nice for summer! And at 89 Indian rupees ($1.94USD), how can you go wrong!

Lately, I've had the opportunity to try out a whole slew of different kinds of shaving creams and soaps, because I found stores which sell stuff from just about everywhere in the world. This cream is German-made, and sells for very cheap, so it would be classified as no-frills, but it's still a good and adequate, if not luxurious brand. It has a clean, pleasant scent, it lathers nicely, provides plenty of soothing moisturization as well as a refreshing effect, and for shavers on a tight...

Well, here is another gem that is being discontinued in the US. My understanding is that it will still be available overseas, though. In any case, if you are a fan of the T&H style, which produces a slightly lighter lather than Taylor or Trumper, you will like this one as well. It has a quite interesting scent as well, described below. Price: Not cheap, but not as expensive as some other creams out there. Quality: T&H quality is generally very good. This cream also clearly uses...

As we all know, Palmolive is known throughout the world. The US version is one of the biggest sellers over there, and there are several kinds of Palmolive cream from Europe, one of them being the Classic scent with palm oil which is sort of similar to the US kind, except that the scent is definitely nicer, and the lather is just as rich and creamy, and the moisturizing is equally as excellent. Pricewise, while not as cheap as the US kind, it's still quite reasonable. Jeff

I'm going to try to be as diplomatic as possible so as not to offend either the company who produces this cream, or whoever enjoys it. I bought it last year before Christmas, and I figured that for 30 dollars, I'd be getting the real deal! Well, to put it mildly, I was extremely disappointed. The lather is almost non-existant, the scent is sort of half-decent, and it does give fair, if not great moisturizing. This is not a brand I'd buy again. Jeff

This is an oddly-named cream in the sense that the scent is not what it's listed as. The way I see it, it has a nice, clean, soapy scent, sort of like the Arko soap stick. The lather is rich and creamy,the moisturizing and comfort are definitely there, and price-wise, I always said, you can't beat Arko! I was surprised at the scent when I shaved with this stuff for the first time, I was expecting a fresh burst of lemon, but as I said, instead I was greeted with a pleasant soapy, clean one...

After Scotto telling me more than once to try this cream, I finally did. Excellent recommendation! :w00t: Packaging C&E has a very nice presentation with their creams in the tube. I would second their delivery method to Trumper's. The box has raised glossed lettering along with a nice corrugated inside for additional support. Along with the Cream in the tube, the box has a little corrugated insert tab which contains the tube key to help roll the tube so as to get the most cream out of...

Sorry I don't have a digital camera, but I did want to review this product. I need to say that I was gifted this by a great member of B&B, so I hope this doesn't rub anyone the wrong way, so here it goes. Packaging Arko's creams in boxes are pretty much standard, no frills stuff. Nothing earthshattering in their approach to delivery. The Cream The cream consistency is pretty loose and easily transferred from tube to brush. It has a sort of glistening appearance. The Aroma This...

This cream which is Pakistani made is sold in many East Indian stores here in Montreal. Unfortunately, the only things I can say which are positive about it are that it's cheap, it smells fairly nice, and it does produce a decent lather, but at least for me, I found it dried out my skin and left it irritated. Definitely not a brand I'd buy again. :frown: Jeff

This is one brand of shaving cream made in Canada which I really enjoy when I'm able to get a hold of it. I can't say a heck of a lot about the packaging, it's a huge white, blue and red jar, but the cream itself has a nice light lemony scent, and does it ever lather like mad! :eek: :eek: It gives fantastic moisturizing and comfort, and it's not expensive. It's very difficult to find it now, I last saw it in a barbershop I used to go to a couple of years ago. Jeff

I bought this stuff at an East Indian supermarket recently, and I'm sort of impressed with it. It's cheap enough, and it lathers like there's no tomorrow, but the scent is weird to say the least, kind of like a spice rack. However, again, a little on your brush will give more than enough lather to do a 3 pass shave, and the moisturization is excellent, and it's very, very good if your skin is sensitive. Definitely a good tight budget cream. The tube is light blue with a man's face on it, and...

With a slogan like, "Real Shaving: always a pleasure, never a chore", how could I not be interested in this stuff? I found it on sale for $7.00 (Canadian) but according to the R.S. Co. website, the stuff retails for £3.99, so to go with a great slogan, the price was right. This cream has an interesting and pleasant scent (nothing to write home about, but nice none the less) and can easily be whipped into a beautiful lather (see photos below). The packaging is a little ho hum (a plastic...
