Nice Scent

Pros: Clean Feel, Fresh Scent, Moisturizes Skin, Protects Against Nicks & Cuts

Cons: Clogs Razor

Best Uses: Legs, Women

Bottom Line: not recommended

I love this brand for it's more 'natural' ingredients, so wanted to try the shave cream. It's good quality, but I don't like that it clogs up my razor. Other brands don't seem to do that. It does say 'use sparingly' in the directions, so maybe I need to try using less and see if that helps. It has a great scent, though.

I buy this product again and again

Great for sensitive skin

by Bird

Pros: Close Shave, Moisturizes Skin

Cons: Clogs Razor

Best Uses: Face, Men

I have very sensitive skin and am also allergic to many things. I have tried many products and found this one on this site and have to say it works great. The only problem is that it requires more cleaning of the blade while shaving, but that is minor.

Nice.

Pros: Moisturizes Skin

Cons: Clogs Razor

Describe Yourself: Clean Shaven

Best Uses: Women

Bottom Line: not recommended

I LOVE this scent and it moisturizes very well.. But, I find this is too thick for shaving larger areas - like legs - as it quickly clogs up my razor. For under the arms, it's fine.

Love!

Use just a teensy bit, like the label says.

Making Progress

by Harley Guy [Verified Reviewer]

in Omaha on 2/9/09

Pros: Clean Feel, Close Shave, Moisturizes Skin

Cons: Vanilla for men

Describe Yourself: Goatee Wearer

Best Uses: Face

Bottom Line: recommended

It's a learning curve. The directions say to use sparingly and that's what they mean. It's hard to judge the proper amount in the beginning and then trust that thin layer is all that is needed. Go figure, it works just as they say it does. With each shave I'm learning how much to apply and how often I have to rinse the razor and with each shave the end result is better. Not a complaint, but I could do without the vanilla smell. I'm just saying... Absolutly Recommend.

Not impressed

by Sasith

in Boulder, Co on 1/12/09

Pros: Fresh Scent, Moisturizes Skin

Cons: Clogs Razor

Describe Yourself: Clean Shaven

Bottom Line: not recommended

Having tried many other natural and cruelty-free shaving creams, I have to say that this is not my favorite. The smell is amazing, but that's about the only thing I like. I experimented using every kind of thickness when applying this to my legs and I just couldn't get a close shave. The cream went straight into my razor blades and wouldn't rinse out. It wasn't silky enough for me to feel safe shaving and not worry about cutting myself. My razor felt like it was dragging against my skin rather than gliding. Maybe it's a different story for men who are having their face, but I would definitely not recommend this for women.

Smells heavenly!

To use: For unequaled shaving ease, rinse skin thoroughly with warm water, leaving wet for a few minutes. Using a small amount of Alba Cream Shave, apply a thin, transparent layer over damp skin. Shave normally, rinsing razor periodically.

Note: Performs best when used sparingly.
