When I was new to wet shaving a couple years ago, like most of us, I tried various products to see which I liked best. I picked up a tube of Cremo at CVS. It was under 10 bucks, so what the heck. When I first tried it, I was very skeptical because there's no foam. I was actually kind of nervous and it wasn't a great experience. After my wife reorganized our bathroom closet, there was the hardly used tube of Cremo. Now being a more experienced shaver I decided to try again with three days worth of growth, and guess what-pretty freaking amazing. A real eye opener. Since my first try at it, I've used many of the brands we're all familiar with-some very expensive. This cheap shaving lube or cream or whatever it is literally gave me as good of a shave as my go to "Tabac." I'm not saying Cremo may be good for everyone-I personally have extremely sensitive skin and a rough whiskers. Cremo worked like a champ. Heck for under $10 its worth a shot.
In case your wondering, I'm using a Merkur Futura with Astra blades.
