Cremo Palo Santo Shave Cream, Astonishingly Superior Ultra-Slick Shaving Cream for Men, Fights Nicks, Cuts and Razor Burn, 6 Fl Oz

I never thought I would be writing a review on shaving cream, however this product deserves praise. Let me start by admitting that I have not tried very many different shaving creams in my lifetime. Although I do have fairly sensitive skin, more so when I was in my teens and twenties, I just never really put much thought into the type of cream I used. I always believed that the type of razor mattered most, and thus I always gravitated toward the latest and greatest Gillette had to offer, finally settling on their Fusion 5 blade razor. As for shaving creams, I have always purchased the gels from Gillette or Edge. I have used foams from time to time but never really cared for them and only really used them if I had to purchase a travel size of if they were provided at a hotel. I began researching different shave creams/gels when I decided to purchase bulk toiletries on Amazon and a simple search for shave creams returned more options than I had time to consider. I quickly narrowed my search down to some shave soaps and this product based on reviews alone. All of them had excellent reviews and probably all would have been worthy of purchase, however I did not have a badger hair brush so I decided to give Cremo a try. The price point on Cremo was much more attractive than the soaps and only a few dollars more than the gels I had been using. The Cremo arrived a week ago and in that time I have shaved three times. I followed the instructions to a tee, choosing the hot water with a cloth option since I do not like to shave in the shower. The Cremo Cream lathered nicely on my skin, almost invisible but not so much that I couldn't tell it was on. It lubricates my skin exceptionally well and permits my razor to glide smoothly allowing an extra close shave. I apply Cremo twice per shave, the first time so that I can shave with the grain, then I apply it once more and shave against the grain. Rinsing off the cream was very easy and fast, and my skin felt very smooth to the touch and refreshing. It also has a very nice smell which I have come to appreciate. The verdict for me is that the is a very satisfying shave cream and I definitely will not be going back to the gels that I used in the past. One more thing I really appreciate about this is the tube it comes in. The gels I used in the past came in pressurized containers that always ended up messy and sometimes even rust would form on the canister no matter how hard I tried to keep them clean and dry. The squeeze tube that Cremo comes in is very easy to keep clean and it does not ooze out after use. For those who are interested, I used this cream with a Gillette Fusion 5 blade the first two shaves and a Edwin Jagger DE89 Lbl for the last shave. While searching for shave creams I stumbled across double edge razors and decided to try one out. You can see my review for the double edge under the Edwin Jagger DE89 Lbl. I have only shaved one time with the Edwin Jagger and I already know that I am sticking with it. The Edwin Jagger combined with the Cremo Cream was the best shave I have ever experienced. I now know that creams and razors matter and only wish that I had considered these great products years earlier.

Since I went to using a shaving brush about 10 years ago I've tried numerous shaving soaps and creams, everything from locally handmade soap to national brands. In general I prefer creams to soaps, as I feel I get a better shave with fewer problems with a good shave cream. Proraso , C.O. Bigelow , Omega , Musgo Real , and Old Spice just to name a few. Yes, I know the first three are basically the same one under a different label. I was intrigued by the reviews for this Cremo Shaving Cream so I tried it. I'm glad I did! The consistency of this cream is similar to those I mentioned in the first paragraph. And as a clean fresh citrusy scent that doesn't linger, which is exactly what I want in the shave cream. After reading the Q&A about this cream here on Amazon I discovered it could be applied with a brush, in addition to the preferred method, rubbing it directly on your face with your hands. I put a small dollop of the cream in my shaving bowl and worked it into my badger brush with a small amount of water. Using this method, the brush applies a thin layer of shave cream. This is more than enough to provide a clean smooth shave. Not only does it provide a smooth shave, it doesn't clog the razor like the other brands can and rinses cleaner than any of the aforementioned brands. When combined with the Fusion ProGlide PowerRazor the result is a nearly perfect shave. No White Residue I have black ceramic shaving bowl. One gripe I have about all the previously mentioned shave creams, plus a few others I've tried, is that they all leave a white residue behind on the razor and on the bowl. If I go more than a couple of shaves without cleaning that residue off the bowl I find I need a Scotch-Brite pad to remove it. This shave cream leaves no residue. While this doesn't make or break the deal, it's one more advantage of this brand of shave cream. Almost Too Slick This cream is so slick that if you have any on your hands or if anything dribbles down the handle of the razor while shaving it will make the handle so slippery that you may have difficulty controlling it. Just make sure you wipe down the handle and your hands before you start to shave. The Bottom Line The tagline on the tube says "Astonishingly Superior." I don't know as I would go that far, but this is a really nice shave cream. I get a decent lather with my shaving brush, a smooth shave, and no white residue shaving bowl. This one's a keeper!

Superb close shave with no itching or discomfort. Easy to use. Finish Shaving in 3 mts flat.

Gives you a closer shave, less skin irritation, smooth after shave feeling, great product

A nice shaving cream with a refreshing mint and smell after shaving. Can shave close and the skin feels smooth even after shaving due to this cream.

This is the best scent ever that you will get as a shaver cream in theatke5. The scent is the same as the scent of the perfume Creed silver mountain.
