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

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!

This Cremo shave cream is a solid product. It uses a low-lather formula that feels incredibly ultra-slick, letting the blade glide easily over the skin. I really appreciate how smooth it makes the shaving feel. My trick is to put just a few drops in my shaving vessel and lather it up with my brush. Doing it this way makes the tube last much longer because you use so little product. If you already use a brush and want a super slick cream that delivers a smooth shave, this is worth checking out.

I started using this instead of borrowing my husband’s shaving cream and I’m never going back. It gives a close shave, doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin, and doesn’t clog the razor. A little goes a long way and it leaves my skin feeling soft and comfortable

I have been using a safety razor and shaving soap applied with a brush. I decided to try this product to see if it was better than shaving soap. I found it to be an interesting alternative. I can shave a little quicker and it provides a very slick surface for shaving. However, it does not leave my face feeling as good and I do not like the lack of lather. It works, but it is not the greatest thing since sliced bread...4 stars. The product generally works as advertised. It is a cream that you can apply with your hands or with a brush. It gives a slight white lather when first applied. It fades rather quickly to a clear coating. However, it still works even if you cannot see it well. Simply rubbing your face with wet hands will relather the product if you want. I found no real advantage to the product by applying it with a brush. The brush helps condition my beard, but it did not really make the product better or worse. When applying with a brush, there is no need to whisk it in a shaving mug for very long. Apply it to your wet face with wet fingers, then brush in with a damp brush. Or just a brisk rub onto your wet face with wet fingers. It does provide a very slick shaving condition. Sort of like shaving with slippery lube I guess. The product sticks well to your face, so after a stroke with the razor, you can go back over the same area a few times and still have a nice surface. You can even apply a little water to your face to relather an area that you just shaved. This can allow you to finish your shave quicker than other methods. The resilience of the product staying on my face was actually a little bit of a negative to me. After shaving, I had to really work to wash it off before applying some aftershave cream. If I did not wash my face really well, it seemed to react a little with the aftershave and provide a "sticky" feeling on my face. Sort of like I left some soap on my face. I use Proraso Liquid Cream After-Shave (3.4 oz.) so perhaps something else would not react the same way. However, I still did not like the feeling it left on my face unless I really rinsed it off. I did get a nice shave from the product. It was true that I felt better shaving against the grain of my beard. This was especially true on my neck. I probably cut myself less using this product than with a traditional shave soap. However, it is not a miracle product that eliminates cuts and shaving bumps. If you try to shave too quickly you will still cut yourself. I found that the slickness of the product had me taking longer strokes and trying to shave quicker and this led to some careless (small) cuts. Shaving against the grain was still uncomfortable and left my neck feeling razor burned. Probably less than with some other products, but I still had the need to put an aftershave cream on. I also tried mixing the product with some shaving soap. It did not seem to do much. The best thing was to apply it first to your skin, and then apply shaving soap over it. I do not think it really did a lot except you could easily see where you had shaved. I think it is a good product, but it takes getting use to. Be sure to give it a few weeks of shaving before deciding.

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.

Feels like top quality stuff but at the end of the day doesnt reduce any nicks and burns at all, infact its cold so after warming up your beard i dunno who this would help over soap which might be less cold. Also you have to apply a lot more than say a gel so this also will not last as long.
