OXY® Shave Cream
2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide
2-in-1 cooling, non-foaming cream is clinically proven to reduce razor bumps in as little as two weeks, leaving skin visibly clearer than the competition.*

So I ran across this at a local Grocery Store and it seemed very interesting! All that about is what the web-site reads about it.
Im wondering if this could be a great fighter for "foliculitis" and bad razor burn.

I've never heard of a particular shaving system that fights acne/razor burn like this. Seems very interesting. What's your thoughts?
As a true B&Ber I had to pick up a can, I'm going to shave with it for a week! Starting tomorow!

Day 1

So.. The routine is normal...

Hot Shower
Proraso Pre/Post
OXY Shave cream
Panosonic Vortex wet/dry

After shave..
Thayers whitchhazel Hazel
Nivea After shave balm
Aqua Velva

so... When this stuff says "Non foaming leather" Thats exactly what it means!!! It dosent lather at all, so much so that if I didn't have the Proraso as a pre, I think it would of been a very dry shave.. Even in the Shower!!!!
So as a Shaving Cream, it's pretty poor... Really poor.
Im going to use it as a pre/shave tomorow and see how that goes. I'll keep you posted.

Benzoyl Peroxide is pretty drying to the skin - I would think it would be counter-productive in a shave cream - seems like a gimick to me.

I can't see how Benzoyl Peroxide can be a good thing for shaving.
