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

Probably the best shave cream I have ever used. Easy to apply, goes a long way, great fragrance and an extremely smooth shave with my electric. The razor needs fewer passes to remove all the beard growth, which makes shaving a bit faster and without razor burn. Very pleased with this product!

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!

UPDATED REVIEW: After a response from a representative from Cremo, I decided to try this again. I seem to have been using this wrong thinking it would generate a rich lather - apparently, that is not how this product works. I was using it with a shave brush attempting to use it like a traditional shave cream. So I followed the directions exactly and got much better results with revised expectations. The product is not designed to generate heavy, rich lather but produce a very slick surface for shaving. When used exactly according to the directions it works much better. It does not generate a lather much at all,but does create a very slick coating for shaving. Overall I'd rate it as follows: Slickness: 5/5 - just as, if not more slick than traditional shave creams. It is water-activated, so your skin must be wet. I found that as it dried, you needed to keep adding water. Irritation: 5/5 - I had virtually no irritation in two shaves. I do a "2 pass" shave with a DE blade. Shave closeness: 5/5 - Results in a very close shave, even though there are a lot of variables like razor, blade, etc. Overall, I changed from 3/5 to give it a 4/5 stars for two primary reasons: (1) Personal preference, I like shave creams that produce a rich, creamy lather. This product produces little to no lather by design, which is just a personal preference matter. (2) I found that it tends to dry out quickly when shaving. After I apply it to my face, I found that it dries quickly and needs to be rewetted. Water is the key - if its wet, it produces a very slick surface on your skin that makes for a close, irritation-free shave...as long as you keep it hydrated with water. Shave creams that produce a rich lather don't tend to dry out during the shave. I hope this helps. Thanks to Fred from Cremo for the tips on how to use this and what to expect. It is not intended to be used like a traditional shave cream that I'm used to. ORIGINAL REVIEW: This is OK...not great, not bad, but just OK. I am always looking for new shave products to try, and I figured I'd give this shave creme a test run. The price wasn't bad, but compared to other shave cremes I've tried over the years, this is not one of my favorites. Tops on my list are Taylor of Old Bond Street products - they have the best shave cremes I've found regardless of price. Smooth, makes a great lather, and available in a variety of flavors. The best combination of price and performance shave creme I've found are C.O. Bigelow products. These are the best at a very cost-competitve price (I can get two tubes for $15.00). Its not as smooth, slick and lathery as the TOBS, but, it comes in a close second at a great price. The Cremo product is about the same price as the C.O. Bigelow, and doesn't produce as good a lather or smoothness. The one thing I do like is the cool menthol flavor does produce a very nice cooling effect on your skin.

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.

Very helpful for shaving cleanly with way less cuts (farr better than dry shaving) and very good on my skin! I've tested severe for every single environmental allergy, as well as skeeter syndrome and many others, but definitely no reaction from me. Great volume of product included too, lasted me a year (although admittedly I don't need to shave very often).

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 used to love Cremo, then I noticed that it felt less “slick” than before, and that I could no longer get a good shave using just the “almond size” dab they once recommend. I was using more product and not feeling the old effortless slide of the razor on my skin. An internet search confirmed that Cremo has indeed changed its formula. So I tried three other products in left-right face tests, with a semi-used two-blade razor that would “tug” at my skin if a cream was not lubricating it effectively. The results: Barbasol is more slippery and performs better than Cremo, and is a bit cheaper per oz. Barbasol also performs better and is cheaper than Proraso. Barbasol performs pretty much exactly the same as Pacific Natural Shaving Cream for Sensitive Skin, but Pacific Natural costs more than two and half times as much per ounce. Bottom line: Barbasol is my new choice for tube shaving cream, owing to its value and effectiveness. One comment: at first Barbasol felt a little “oily” as I applied it, but that’s probably something more like lanolin in the formula. In any case, once it’s applied, it doesn’t feel oily at all.

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.
