Barbasol (yellow can) with lanolin: not bad

[honeybadger79]

lately, when i'd don't have a lot of time, but still want an ATG smoothness, i've been reaching for this canned goo.

I just apply a thin layer and then go at it, trying to forget what i was using. I have say; Not bad, not bad at all.

I'm not gonna say that it's equal in feel or shave quality to a higher end product, but my typical 4+ passes yeilded a very high-end DFS with no irritation or weepers.

Not bad, not bad

I've heard a lot of buzz about the yellow Barbasol, and have to consider giving it a try.

For a few bucks, i find it worth having around for a speedy lather

I also may try it.

I also may try it.

Me too. I have some in the blue (?) can sans the lanolin that I use when I'm lazy or rushed that is just okay. It obviously needs lanolin, lol.

You should if you can find it..Nice scent and comes out of the can smooth..I think you will like it.

It hit and miss finding it sometimes but like the Arctic Chill and the Classic version it gives you a quick solid shave.

The green (aloe) and purple (extra moisturizing) are pretty good canned products too. Purple claims to have vitamin E and I can see "lanolin oil" on the ingredients list. I can't really say whether or not it's better than the green, but it's definitely superior to the blue (pacific rush).

The yellow can is a good one, keep it handy just in case.

I'm a fan of both barbasol and foamy brands in general and use them both frequently.

I first apply a light runny layer and work it in with my fingers really well then apply a second thicker layer. This allows me to still get the great cushion from the foam but also have a slick layer underneath.

I have been thinking about trying it for some time but I have so many good soap sticks and pucks I just can't bring myself to buy it.

Stop saying these things...

Just do it!!

I use Barbasol often - works well for me. Usually I have the red can but I've used all of them with success.

 

[Frankie0210]

Good to hear.

If you really want to pump up Barbasol or any canned foam/goo; try mixing a little Cremo into it in a bowl or mug. I use Barbasol from time to time and it works well, although I find that it dries out my skin; no matter which formulation Ive tried.
