Burt's Bees ASB

[meichenl]

Just tried it. Not a big fan. Left a heavy, sticky (dare I say- waxy) residue. Takes away any temptation to try Burt's shave cream. Anyone else?

Good thing they quit making it.

I really like the stuff but that's me

Both the shave cream and aftershave are still sold where I am.

Shave cream - IMHO stay away from it. No cushion, glide or protection. If you really want to try a good brushless cream that doesn't lather try any of the ones made by Alba.

Aftershave - I had a similar experience; it felt 'heavy' to me but I didn't get stickiness. May have some moisturizing ability but it has no soothing/healing properties (which you really need after trying the shave cream).

Must be the Burt's Bee's Bay Rum I'm thinking of, my bad.

They have the best lip balm around, but they should stay away from shaving products.

I used to wear Burt Bees Bay Rum aftershave.. it was good stuff. I think they quit making it.

Burts Bees Bay Rum Cologne, if you can find it, is one of the most potent bay rum cologne's I have ever come across. 1 spray to the chest will introduce you to the room 5 minutes before you arrive - no joke! I love it but I spray it on at least 2 hours before I leave the house.

AFAIK Burt's quit making all of it's Bay Rum products a few years ago. I tried to find some, but all I ever managed to get was some of the shave soap.

That was a mixed blessing/curse. IMHO the scent was the best bay rum around, but it was terrible shave soap.
