better shave with cream

Advantages: cheap, water-based, less irritation
Disadvantages: takes a litlle longer to shave, you need a brush

...I have always suffered with sesnitive skin around my neck area when I shave, I have tried many different gels and razors but until I started using Palmolive shave cream i never really found anything that didnt make my skin sore. Palmolive is a traditional shave cream that comes in a tube - the cream has to be used with a shaving brush to create a thin water based lather on the face. The cream and the brush combined are what is important about getting the right shave, the circular motion of the brush helps lift the hair away from the face so it can be easily removed with one light stroke of the razor. A good tip before applying the cream is to soak your face for a while with hot water - this opens your pores and expands the size of the hair by 30% which makes it easier to shave off. The cream is cheap about £1.90, and although it...

Johnsons Shower and shave cream

Advantages: Super smooth,hair free,nourished legs
Disadvantages: None than i can mention

...I've been shaving my legs for as long as I can remember and due to the fact that I find shave gels over-priced and due to the fact they dont last very long,I found myself using lathered up soap instead of a gel. I must admit,although a cheaper way of shaving,it wasnt exactly a smooth shave and made my legs itch unbearably! Anyway,I decided enough was enough and that parting with a little bit of money,was going to be worth it for smooth,pain free legs! I'd seen Johnsons Shower and Shave cream advertised on tele and thought that i'd give it a try. I decided i'd try Boots to buy the product in as its often worth it due to the fact that I have a Boots advantage card. Once I got there I was amazed by the selections of shave products,but couldnt find this product anywhere. I eventually found it on the shower and bath section...

Review of Johnson's Shower and Shave Cream

For Ladies That Shave

Advantages: Good make, pleasant fragrance, rich and thick, moisturises
Disadvantages: None for me

...I really only bought Johnson's Silky Satin, shower and Shave Cream as it was on offer. It retailed at around £1.40 for a 250ml, plastic bottle in Netto. The pink packaging is very reminiscent of Johnson's Baby products and very distinctive. The idea behind the product is that this body wash works as a great cleanser that offers rich moisturising for your skin and also enables you to have a great shave of your underarm area or whatever. Obviously it is designed with women in mind. So just what do you get for your money? The body wash is a pale, but bright, pink in colour. To look at it reminds me of the old Nulon hand cream which my Mum used. To my mind the fragrance is simply a clean, soapy, sort of smell, with a slight perfume. The consistency of the cream is rich and silky. Put a small amount of this product onto your skin...

Review of Johnson's Shower and Shave Cream

* A close shave too . .

Advantages: Very good for you, and for the Earth.
Disadvantages: It does cost the Earth (OK Slightly expensive)

...OK, you are lucky enough to get me doing a review from this section, I can't believe I am doing a review on something from the "Beauty" section! The Company, American Crew, was formed in 1994, selling shampoos and shower gels, also shaving accessories of course, This particular product is called a herbal shave cream, and I didn't realise it was "herbal" when I tried it, perhaps the aroma is not that strong, or maybe I was just missing something. I did find the shave very smooth, and my skin felt even smoother afterwards. Small secret, I did not buy this, it was a freebie gift, from hairdrersser who got it as a sample. She has never done shaves, so it was oflittle use to her in the salon. being a woman, she could not possibly use it on herself, I suppose I would feel the same about "Lady" type shaving things. All I know is, I...

Review of American Crew Shaving Products Crew Herbal Shave Cream

The no nonsense smooth skin shaving cream

Advantages: Smooth burn free skin.
Disadvantages: None that I have found.

...This product is trully one of Lush's gems. Its the best shaving product both my husband and I have ever used. It is equally as effective on any part of the body. The secret with Prince shaving cream is to apply it to dry skin, you don't need much, just enough to give your skin the feeling of being lubricated. It works best on dry skin because it really gets to work lubricating the skin, and water will slightly repel it and stop it from doing its magic. So once you have smoothed a little onto your skin try to shave with nice long strokes, the longer the better. If you continually scrape with little jerky movements your taking more skin off and not taking the hair off effectively. The longer the strokes of your razor are the more hair you can get off with less strokes. The oils in Prince have excellent calming properties and help...

Review of Lush Prince Shaving Cream

Try a Shave cream, old-fashioned but it works!

Advantages: Less irritation, closer shave
Disadvantages: Takes longer

...I've been using a shaving cream for some time instead of a gel or foam and find that you get a much closer shave with less irritation. Gels and foams were origionally designed to be a time saving item, to be used only when you were running late, a bit like microwave meals. They do the job but aren't half as good as a home cooked roast!!! Anyway, back to what I was talking about. I've just read some advice on how to have a good shave, some of which I use, but instead of an oil I use a shaving cream and a shaving brush. I find that it is very effective in softening the bristles to make shaving a much less painful experience. You don't need to go out and buy anything fancy either. I sue Palmolive shaving cream and it only costs about 1.80 per tube and lasts for quite a while. You get a really good lather, and I don't know about...

Review of Palmolive Shaving Cream

Shower, Shave and be stubble free!!!

Advantages: 2 in 1 shower cream and shaving cream, not too expensive, nice smell
Disadvantages: Absolutely none!

...I?m sure all women will agree that it can be a real chore keeping your legs etc silky smooth and free from stubble. Being slightly sensitive to hair removal creams, too much of a wimp to attempt to get them waxed and nearly passing out from the pain when I tried an epilator for all of 4 seconds, I have to resort to the trusty old razor. I have tried several different types of products ? wet razors, electric razors, razors that have the ?moisturising cream? built in so no need for shaving gel etc ? some of which have worked and some of which sadly have not. Being that I?m lazy and can?t be bothered with the mess of shaving cream (and usually slipping in the bath when I use it anyway!) I love a great ?time saving? ?lazy girl? solution to shaving and this is exactly what I have found with Johnson?s Shower & Shave Cream. (There are...

Review of Johnson's Shower and Shave Cream

All in one miracle cream!

Advantages: many products in 1, saves money, rubs in easily
Disadvantages: expensive on the high street

...MIRACLE CREAM I started using the Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream because of all the fantastic reviews it had, and I must say it fulfilled all of the expectations I had plus more. It truly is a miracle cream and is affordable. Being the well known brand of Elizabeth Arden you can find it in most department stores and high street stores such as Boots however I would recommend buying it online as you will find it?s a lot cheaper. On the CheapSmells website you can buy a 50ml tube for £11.90, I have seen it not online for prices in excess of £20 so you are definitely better off buying online. You can get the 8 hour face cream in sizes 30ml and 50ml. You can also get the miracle hand cream in 75ml. The cream itself is mainly used as a skin protectant and can help with problems such as dry, flaky skin. But the miracle with this cream is that...

Review of Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream

Make shaving a dream, use this cream.

Advantages: Foams up nicely resulting in a comfortable shave.
Disadvantages: Leaves skins a little dry.

...After losing one too many blades to the gunk left behind from "king of shaves" I was anxious to try something else, and this cream was suggested by a friend. I am much in their debt, since this stuff is great. It foams up wonderfully on your skin, making shaving a dream. The resulting shave is close and comfortable, with perhaps only a little dryness. This can soon be combatted though with your choice of after-shave, so I don't regard this as a problem. The shave is so good it is worth repeating, this is probably the best shaving cream on the market, and far superior to the alternative oils, creams etc....

Review of The Body Shop Shaving Cream

The Jester of Shaves

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: Utterly useless

...According to Toyota, their Hybrid Synergy Drive system uses a complicated array of batteries in a twenty-first century Wales & Edwards milk float sort of way to generate power in their Prius car up to 27 miles per hour, at which point a 1.5 litre petrol engine kicks in to carry you the rest of the way to the speed limit. Heat from brakes and other clever paraphernalia are regurgitated to recharge those same batteries, thus allowing Toyota to promote their Hybrid Synergy system as a safe, economical, environmentally friendly solution to motoring. Their sister company, Lexus, use the same system to improve performance and reduce emissions. You could be forgiven, then, for thinking that the King of Shaves Azor razor, which boasts a Hybrid Synergy System, might be one of those razors fitted with a Duracell AAA battery so that the ladies...
