Kiehl's or Art of Shaving?

[itsdavetime]

I currently use Kiehl's Ultimate Brushless Shave Cream, and was curious if anyone has any comments about the Kiehl's and Art of Shaving creams, in comparison.

I have sensitive skin and shave in the shower, so don't get razor bumps. I read about eShave also, but rather than try to experiment with these expensive products, I was curious as to other people's opinions. I don't use any pre-shave oils, so not sure if that's necessary either.

Last thing, if it matters, I also shave my head (like the bald look).

Thanks

I have had good luck with Kiehl's products, particularly the brush variety. Use the brushless sparingly because it can clog the razor.

I didn't get quite as close a shave using Keihl's, but always get good results from AOS. I used AOS Unscented this morning.

Totally different animals, one is a brushless cream and the other is a premium lathering cream, it's pretty much impossible to compare them.

What exactly are you looking for in a cream? Does your Kiehl's work and you just want to try something different, or are you looking to resolve a certain problem? If you're just dabbling around you can look for Bigelow (Bath + Body Works), Kiss My Face (Trader Joes/Whole Foods) or Real Shaving (Rite Aid). All great products, all can be used with or without brush, widely available and cheap.
