Category: Shaving Creams, Lotions and Gels

My dad used this stuff. Still does! I vividly remember him shaving every morning and wondering when I’d be able to do the same.Now I can, and I hate it! I hate shaving, but also this stuff is total garbage! What were you thinking, dad?!?!?—My dad shaves with an old-school single-blade gillette razor. He has used Barbasol for as long as I can remember. He loves it and will never change.–I use a 6-bladed dorco razor and generally use any kind of gel-based shaving "cream". I’m currently using the Dove brand which is kinda nice.–On a recent trip home, I didn’t bring my shaving gel. It takes up too much room and I figured I’d borrow what I found at my parent’s home. I used Barbasol. IT CUT ME UP SO BAD I WAS SHOCKED!!! This stuff offers NO protection and has NO moisturizing ability!! You might as well use NOTHING when shaving instead of this stuff!!! OH I WAS SO MAD!!! I was bleeding like CRAZY and cut myself up like you wouldn’t believe!!! And – AND I thought "maybe I am an idiot shaving" so a few days later, I tried again! But AGAIN it cut me up wicked bad!!!!When I returned home – smooth sailing. My 6-bladed thingamajig worked just awesome with my Dove gel. Even this morning I didn’t cut myself at all. Nice.—Unless you’re a 70 year old man who has been using this stuff his whole life, AVOID.

There really is a difference applying cream than gel. Cream is ready to go, gel you need to rub. With cream, there is not much feel to it and feels that it does not do much at all. To get a cream in Gillette you need to purchase one which is for females and sales for less than gel. Regardless, amazing amount of chemicals. Not bad can to have for rainy days for the price where I ran out of my organic shaving cream without chemicals or the pricey L’Occitane.

Let’s face it. When it comes to shaving cream in an aerosol can, all the name brands do the job. This is certainly true of Barbasol. It has a rich, thick foam. It helps moisturize the face and protect the face as your razor glides over your face, taking with it a pretty large number of skin cells. (We may as well be honest about this.) And it has a nice smell to it. So, what makes Barbasol different from other shaving creams? Well, my experience is that it is generally a few pennies less than some of the other brands. Seeing that I use a can of shaving cream every six months or so, I’m guessing I’ll be saving maybe ten dollars in a lifetime of shaving. So, if Ben Franklin was right, using Barbasol is worth it.

Barbasol makes an excellent shaving cream with aloe for us men who need to shave off that facial hair we get. I suppose that women could also use this same cream to shave their legs or underarms–but regardless of who’s using this, please–oh, please–wet the skin first with warm water before putting on the shaving cream and shaving! You’ll cut yourself all over if you don’t! This caveat holds true for all brands of shaving creams.Now that THAT’S out of the way, I can’t say enough good things about this shaving cream. It’s affordable; it can fit into an overnight carrying bag; the cap stays on so the cream can’t dispense itself and ruin whatever is close to it; the cream stays fresh for a very long time and it does indeed help greatly to moisturize and lubricate your skin just before and during your shave. Excellent!In particular, this type of Barbasol is very good for those of us like me who have sensitive skin. My skin has become more sensitive with time and it’s easier on my face when I shave with this–I nick myself a lot less!It’s so easy to use, too: Just shake the can up and down several times, remove the cap and push down on the top button to make the shaving cream come out of the nozzle.Overall, Barbasol shaving cream is truly the best shaving cream I’ve ever used. Stock up today; you won’t be disappointed.

I have less irritation with this one as compared other. Actually I am going to order 1 more soon. Thanks.

He shaves his head and his face every day, and has tried everything out there. This is is his favorite, and a great price also.
