Finally a repalcement for his favorite discontinued shave cream.
After trying shave cream after shave cream. Trying to find something even remotely silimar to the discontinued charcoal neutrogena he used to use. I think we finally found it.This shave cream has incredible slip, safety razor didn't catch once. Just slid right over.Is "re-wettable" if it starts drying out on your face (rubbing it in too much or just taking your time) just lightly adding some water to your finger tips and rubbing it in adds moisture back in, rehydrates nicely.No missed spots - after my bf used it he didn’t miss a single spot. Almost every other one he has tried recently just patches that he would miss and then have to do a few clean ups. It drove him crazy. This new one. He came out and not a single spot missed, easily got right up below the nose, the side of the neck, the nape of the neck, side burns, chin. He said it was a really pleasant and nice shave also.Clean up was easy, the cream didnt glob on and get stuck in the razor. Rinsed out completely. And any left behind on the face risned off with ease. Just kind of melts off.Left his face soft and moisturized feeling. No dry tight feeling. He didnt feel the need to put on aftershave, which he's always had to do, to help add some moisture back in.The sandalwood scent is really pleasant. Its not so strong I can smell it acorss the room. Its just a nice need to be up close to smell it scent.Finally a shave cream that doesn't lather and you don't need to use a shave brush to apply. Hes super happy with it.

Definitely Helps to Eliminate the Pain & Discomfort of Shaving with a Razor Blade!
This shaving cream has done absolute wonders toward helping me achieve the smooth, clean-shaven look I desire.My facial hair tends to grow pretty quickly, which means I usually have some fairly heavy beard stubble within just 24 hours of my next shave. Prior to discovering this Cremo product, my daily shaving routine in the morning consisted of using a Norelco electric shaver coupled with a pre-shave powder stick (i.e., Remington Face Saver Model SP-5). Due to my heavier stubble, using any sort of disposable razor blade was completely out of the question because doing so had previously proven too uncomfortable and irritating for my sensitive facial skin.I used that electric shaving method for years, but never actually felt (literally!) as if I was ever getting a truly close shave and frequently disliked my resulting facial appearance by just early to mid-afternoon. Because of my rapid stubble growth, it was not uncommon for me to appear as if I had the beginnings of a classic five o’clock shadow… WAY before five o’clock. That really irritated me because I always felt as though it made me appear rather unkempt (especially in the workplace), despite my very best efforts to appear otherwise.One day back in 2016, I happened to stumble upon this Cremo Original product in the shaving aisle at Walmart. The squeeze tube graphics caught my eye so I proceeded to read the info on the back of it. The claims of this cream were intriguing so I decided to give it a try…just for the heck of it. Wow, was this ever a game-changer! I was totally impressed by it then... and remain so today. Ever since, my face feels as smooth as a baby’s bottom (sound’s too much like a cliché, I know), which I had never before thought would even be possible to achieve without getting some sort of pricey professional shave.These days, my daily shaving routine still consists of pre-shaving with my electric razor for the purpose of cutting most of the longer stubble, but then immediately following up with Cremo and a 4-blade (my own personal preference) disposable safety razor. This provides me with a really close and smooth final shave without experiencing any discomfort from pulling or tugging on any longer stubble. To some folks, this method might seem a bit unconventional, but it’s really not that time-consuming and provides the kind of results I personally desire.Cremo makes your skin VERY slippery and that allows the razor blade to glide ever so easily over your face, cutting the stubble with far less effort. Plus, there's no discomfort or skin irritation (i.e., razor burn) afterwards. It’s like lube for one’s face…and it’s really a very simple--yet highly-effective--product.Personally, I find the mild, citrusy scent of this Original shaving cream to be quite pleasant and refreshing and have no idea why some reviewers seem to take issue it. It’s not particularly strong or offensive-smelling at all, despite the way they might make it seem. To each their own, I guess.Here’s the directions from the back of the Cremo tube: “Rub skin with the hottest water you can stand for 30 seconds. Crème is highly concentrated and water activated. Massage an almond-sized dollop onto your wet skin until a light lather forms. Less is often best. Shave. Add water as needed to keep it slippery, effective and easy to rinse from razor.”Just as those instructions say, I find that the most important part of this whole process is to first soften the stubble with hot water. The hotter the water and longer you can precondition (i.e., soften) your skin using hot water, the better. That’s how I manage to achieve the very smoothest shave. If I rush this part of the process and/or use water that’s less hot, then the resulting shave is simply not as good. It’s basically the same type of thing that the old-time barbers used to do when they placed a very hot towel on one’s face prior to using a straight razor. Whenever I’m not pressed for time, I’ll also occasionally shave while standing in the shower because I find that I can really soften up my entire face with hot water for a longer period of time that way.Also, just as the Cremo instructions say, only an almond-size amount of this cream is needed. Believe it or not, that small amount really does go a long way and there’s really no need to use any more than that amount. For me, this has the added advantage of extending the amount of product usage I can squeeze out of one single tube of Cremo.Whenever I feel as though some extra lubrication is necessary, while shaving, I simply splash on a bit of additional hot water and rub things a little bit to relubricate. It’s as simple as that, just like the directions say. A little bit of water is all that’s needed… not more cream. Over-lathering does nothing more than waste product and serve to clog the disposable razor blade.In summary, I most definitely recommend this cream! I only wish that it hadn't taken me so many years to discover a product like this one. C’est la vie.

Well Groomed
I have two of the scented shave creams so far and they are very nice. The instructions say to use an almond size dab of cream and it really works with that little bit. It lathers well and helps your razor to glide well. My wife loves the scent when I'm done shaving. The aroma lasts for a long time. It's masculine and clean.

Great for sensitive skin
My husband was wanting a new shaving cream for his sensitive skin and I came across this one which is pretty good and doesn’t irritate his skin, the only thing he liked more about his old shave cream was it lathered up better then this one

Works great for a close shave, but keep wetting for repeated strokes
This is an interesting shaving cream, in that it protects and lubricates over multiple passes. You only need a relatively small amount. But it can dry out kind of quickly, so you need to make sure it is wet before you shave an area. I like used to use Edge gel, but I like this better; I think it protects my skin better.

use according to directions
I used William's mug soap for years, now discontinued. I kept cutting myself with aerosol shaving cream, and didn't like the cold, slimy gels, so decided to try this after I saw so many good reviews. It takes some getting used to, but now I like it the best of any shaving preparation I have used in more than 50 years of shaving. N. b.: One has to keep the razor very wet and clear of residue for it this cream to achieve its outstanding qualities.. People aren't kidding when they tell you this. Swish it often in the shave water.

Works
Idk I had never shaved my legs before when I started using this cream but I went pretty hardcore, using a safety razor and everything. I rarely got cut, and the blade glided smoothly so I think its good.

Watered down formula makes you buy more frequently
I have been buying Cremo for years, and they used to have 90 DAY SUPPLY printed on their bottle, with a paper ring on the inside when you opened it to peel the seal that said “A little goes a long way! Use an almond size amount.” These are now gone, and the cream is severely watered down/thinned in consistency. They are jipping us, and assuming consumers won’t notice the decrease in quality over time.
