What is it?
***********
A foaming gel specifically designed for women who shave. This particular review will focus on the Wild berry version.


What does it do?
******************
It claims to contain some form of silk - the ingredients state 'silk amino acids'. Using this gel should help make the shaving process easier and smoother and leave your skin feeling soft and silky after shaving.


How do I use it?
******************
The gel may be used for underarms and legs. First dampen the skin area. Release some gel from the bottle pump. Then massage into skin, this will work up a considerable amount of foam/lather and ensure even coverage over shaving area. Usually I only use a small pea size's worth on a small area - as this does lather up quite well, so a little goes a long way in terms of coverage.

Using a clean razor, shave as normal using the foam as a marker of the areas that need to be shaved.


Does it work?
***************
The average shaving process takes less than 5 minutes, and this being a wash off product, it's fair to say that to expect this to sooth, nourish and moisturise in such a short time is probably asking too much. I can't really vouch for ultra silky smooth and soft legs after using this, but the important thing is, it doesn't leave my skin feeling irritated, dry or uncomfortable. I have also used this under my arms with no problems.

The wild berry smell is quite nice, though after a while it can seem artificial. However, once it has been rinsed off, it doesn't seem to linger. Added to that, you would probably be using other bath / shower products as well, so it will definitely be all washed off by then.


Cost?
******
This costs around £3.49 for a 200ml pressurised bottle. I use it every fortnight and it lasts me a good three to four months.


Overall?
*********
I would recommend this shaving gel, as it is quite mild on the skin, though the smell can be a little overwhelming. Though it doesn't produce any spectacular results on the skin, this is not a moisturiser anyway. It leaves my skin feeling very comfortable, non-drying and doesn't irritate. Designed to make shaving easier, less hassle and certainly gives me one thing less to worry about.

Thanks for reading xx
