Cremo Shaving Cream for Men, Original, 6 Fl Oz

As a lifelong user of canned shaving foam, I feel like I've been missing out this whole time! I'm currently taking Accutane, which dries my skin out extremely badly, so I've been desperately looking for a gentle alternative. This cream was suggested to me, and I figured I'd give it a shot. I usually shave daily, but I had a 2-day beard. I grabbed a fresh Gillette blade, followed the directions, rinsed with warm water, and applied the cream. Honestly, I was dreading it at first. Since it feels so different from regular gel, I thought it was going to pull my hair and be a painful shave. I was so wrong! First stroke: super smooth. Second stroke: even smoother. I am completely hooked and never going back. I don't usually write reviews for products that already have thousands of ratings, but I had to put my two cents in because I am extremely impressed. My skin felt great afterwards with zero shaving irritation (I still applied my daily lotion, but the shave itself was flawless). Highly recommend giving this a try!

Bought for husband but he likes old fashioned foam. Lol. I like the smooth creamy tecture. Im using it . Smells nice. Feels good. Moisturizer on legs . So I'll keep it. Travel handy too.

Gives Art of Shaving a run for their money!! (For reference, I’m a woman, and I shave my entire body.) My bf introduced me to Art of $$$having, which was a huge upgrade from soap, all the grocery store “women’s” shave creams I’ve tried, or the Gillette foam in a can that my dad uses. But I found their preshave oil to be far too thick for me, and I couldn’t help but use way too much. I find their shaving cream to be excellent, however, so I used it for at least 2-3 years. But they are extremely expensive, so I continuously looked for an alternative. I found Cremo at T🎯, and I bought the women’s lavender. But I found it to be lacking a bit. I called Cremo and told them I was an avid AoS user, had tried their product and wanted to continue using it, but found that it was still insufficient on its own because I still needed to use mineral/baby oil first. Cremo said you don’t need preshave oil because it’s incorporated into their formula. So I went back to AoS because I was being petulant about that response. 🤔😂 I could’ve simply continued to apply mineral oil first since that’s what I was doing with AoS first anyway! After a while, I saw the sensitive formula of Cremo and tried it. I’ve never looked back!! Yes, AoS is great, but Cremo is actually better for me! I don’t know if their lavender scent and sensitive formulations have different “slickening” ingredients, but whatever it is, their sensitive formula works amazingly well for me!! A lot of men have posted reviews seeming to rave or complain about how many shaves they get from one tube of Cremo. But when you’re coming from years of paying AoS prices, that kind of talk is laughable. You don’t have to do any math to know Cremo is much more economical than AoS. That said, my bf still uses AoS, but he also makes 3x my income. If you used AoS and are looking for a more budget - friendly alternative, look no further .than this brand! While Cremo refuses to produce shaving oil, if you feel you still need that, I have found that mineral oil, aka baby oil, works very well for me. But I had also always found AoS shave oil to be too thick anyway. I will likely never go back to AoS products because I don't appreciate being asked to pay an exorbitant price for toiletries made by P&G. I do not see them as a luxury brand. I find that with mineral oil and Cremo shave cream in any scent, but especially in the sensitive skin version, my skin comes out cleanly shaven, comfortable, and I get no or very few nicks.

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.

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.

Smooth, non-oily cream that lets the blade glide across the face, much like the movement of a skater on the ice -- no friction, resistance or irritation -- a great way to begin the day. True, it does not produce much lather and needs plenty of water to evenly release its lubricating layer. But, that's intended. We all grew up with something like the Barbasol lather for shaving -- but lather is not necessary and, IME, is not the best way to eliminate friction in shaving The best way is through a lubricating solution such as Cremo. It's a new world folks. Enjoy it.

The product is somewhat unique and therefore cannot be compared to many others in a one to one scenario. It didn't find me. I went looking for it. Is it super slick? yes. Does the sensitive version have a smell? no. Does it make lots of lather? no? As it turns out that is by design and that is what I was looking for. for example if you want to wet shave in the shower with an electric razor and you want the closest possible shave then a product that is super slick and doesn't lather much is exactly what you want so it doesn't clog up the electric razor. I haven't found a better product for that particular use case. So like many things it's not as simple as saying is it the best, the question is, is it the best for that particular use case? yes. I use it with a panasonic arc 6 and this gets me a great close shave.

I like The smell , but it’s messier than regular shaving foam.

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.
