Stopped by my local CVS Pharmacy today and saw a Burt's Bees shaving cream and i must say that stuff smelled pretty good. I was wondering if any of you guys have used it and if it lathers up good. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.
Burt's bees shaving cream?

I haven't tried the shavecream,but I do like the ASB.Their bar soap for men is awesome.
If it's the stuff in the tube, no, it's not that good. It is not meant to be used with a brush so it doesn't lather. I can get a passable shave from it, but it's not that much fun to use.
Yup, I gave it a run and nope, it does not lather. The bergamot scent is beautiful (in my opinion), but it's a brushless cream and by brushless cream standards, I gather it's not one of the better ones. I used to keep it in my desk drawer at work for emergencies but it was found lacking. I did like it as an aftershave though. However, if that's the goal, they have an aftershave balm.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Good thing i didn't purchase it, specially being new to wet shaving i would have probably taught it was just me not getting it down right.
A different reason for my dislike...but I kinda prefer creams and I gave this a go...the first time it was bad, and I knew it was brushless and latherless, so I knew not to fret over that. The first go I used what seemed to be a typical amount of cream...but found out I needed way more. So second go round I basically said I'm gonna use as much as I need...and used what seemed/was an absurd amount...and got a GREAT shave...but it made no sense to use that much...the tube lasted 5 shaves or so, can't recall, but it was laughable...so that's why I stay away from it.
Agree this stuff stinks and doesn't perform well at all. Doesnt he make a good bay rum bar soap?
You have me intrigued. I've still got a smallish tube left. If your experience translates, I might be able to get two good shaves out of it.
Cheers,
