That fresh feeling you get when you step out, like someone gently blowing cold air on your skin. This has a very similar feeling, it is menthol so its very refreshing.
It is also antibacterial so if you are shaving your whiskers it would leave your face clean and fresh not that i know, but according to Noxema the company, " it helps reduce acne".

As a woman I shave about once or twice a week, and one can lasts me about 3 months, for £4.25. It is quite expensive but it lasts a long time (if you use accordingly).
It goes back to basics, no fangled long words that no one can pronounce and it is in a white can with red and blue writing.

Advantages: No Razor Burn Disadvantages: Expensive
I believe this shaving foam is American and in this country it costs about £4.95 a can where as in the states it costs approximately a £1.40 a can. However this is one of the best shaving foams I have ever used, it is thick and rich and after using it I never get any razor burn what so ever. If combined with shaving oil such as Kings or Somerset then the shaving experience is a joy as opposed to a pain.
Additionally the can size of 300ml normally ... ...day. Therefore £4.95 is not too bad every 4 months or 2 months if you shave everyday.
On the other hand the perfume used is quite unusual, although not unpleasant, but not exactly appealing.
Overall an excellent shaving foam, that in my opinion beats the Gillette and Palmolive foams hands down. The only downfall being cost and as this country is nicknamed Treasure Island the theme continues with shaving foams as well as everything else. ...

There are few shops that keep this shaving foam on the shelves and you never see it advertised. This is a great shame as it provides an excellent shave and a really dense foam that helps ease the razor across your face and to soften bristle.
The can design is not very attractive being blue or white depending on the scent chosen. Personally I prefer the non menthol version in the white can.
The scent is unusual and a little clinical but is not overpowering.
... ...probably contributes to its rather high price, however when you get used to using it you realise that a little foam goes a long way.
In a market that is moving towards gels for shaving this poroduct is a classic - it is a shame it is not more readily available. ...

Advantages: Facilitates a smooth and clean shave, Refreshing, Cans last a long time Disadvantages: A little expensive, difficult to find and not well known
Shaving is common event for a majority of men and women. My particular concern has always been with regards to the type of blades that I use and my choice has always been the range from Gillette. Today I use the Sensor and I am thoroughly pleased with it.
However when it comes to the shaving foam I have never really been very particular. My conception is that once the blade is of a good quality then the quality of the foam, gel or cream becomes rather irrelevant. Thus I have used many different types of foams with little attention to the brand. However my outlook and thinking has somewhat changed after I used Noxzema Menthol Shave Foam.
I shave everyday and from Monday to Friday I shave in one motion i.e. downwards. On weekends I shave in two motions i.e. downwards and then again upwards. Everyone has there own choice in ...
Advantages: Extreme shaving comfort Disadvantages: Cost, difficulty in acquiring product
When Noxell Corporation first introduced Noxzema mentholated shaving foam back in the late 1960s, I was a young man first being exposed to shaving. At the time, I had to contend with the old single blade razors, which nicked and cut ones face quite regularly. Hence, it became of prime importance to find the most comfortable approach to the unavoidable necessity of daily shaving. Being that other shaving foams left my face hot and razor burned, and, in the wake of the damage left behind by the old single blade razor, my discovery of Noxzema Menthol shave was truly an unmitigated blessing!
Noxzema Menthol shaving foam provides a cooling, refreshing feeling, and leaves ones face soft, smooth, and clean. This, combined with my own personal use of the modern Gillette Mach 3 Turbo razor system, provides me the most comfortable ...
Advantages: Reduces razor burn to almost nil; cooling effects Disadvantages: Can be hard to locate; big tins are expensive
I was bought a tiny tin of the non-menthol version as a stocking filler about 3 years ago, and loved it. If the skin is prepared with hot water beforehand, and the foam is left to settle for a minute or two, the ensuing shave is excellent (you can hear the blade doing its work, but not feel it).
Once that Liliputian tin had ran out, I switched to a bigger can of the menthol version (which, I'll admit, was expensive at the time) which is even better, as it adds an ice-like cooling effect. The methol-y smell is subtle, but present.
I write this having just come home with a mid-sized tin from ASDA for £1.98 which, considering how long this stuff lasts, is an absolute bargain. If, like me, you prefer foam to gel then Noxzema menthol is unbeatable. ...
