Obviously not literally. It didn't give me CPR or pull me from a fire, but what it did do is stop me from saying goodbye to wetshaving. Over the last month I've made posts in regard to my battle with razor burn. People suggested I try a slant (bought one) try a lighter razor (Bought the bakelite) focus on lather, prep, technique....I tried everything. Spent a lot of money on new gear (razors, blades, creams, aftershaves) and I was ready to say goodbye as I couldn't take the pain. Enter Mama Bear. I made a purchase from a member on the BST for some Hydrogen shave soap. Since receiving it in the mail 5 shaves ago, I've yet to receive ANY razor burn, I get BBS shaves every time and because of the lather and scent, it's changed my entire experience. The stuff works so well that I have 6 different soaps on their way now. I strongly recommend Mama Bear soaps, especially to anyone who suffers from Razor Burn.
