Great for sensitive skin

by Bird

in Albany, NY on 4/17/09

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

Best Uses: Women

Describe Yourself: Clean Shaven

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!

Pros: Clean Feel, Close Shave, Moisturizes Skin, Yummy scent

Best Uses: Legs, Women

Bottom Line: recommended

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

Best Uses: Face

Describe Yourself: Goatee Wearer

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!

Describe Yourself: Clean Shaven

Bottom Line: recommended

Even my husband likes this product. I love how it smells and is all natural. Makes me feel like I'm spoiling myself every time I use it!

LOVE it!

Pros: Clean Feel, Close Shave, Moisturizes Skin, Protects Against Nicks & Cuts

Best Uses: Face, Legs, Men, Women

Describe Yourself: Clean Shaven

Bottom Line: recommended

This is a fantastic product by Alba! My husband has very sensitive skin and most products do not work well for him. This product works wonders for him! Also - I'm not sure why people feel that they need to use a lot. The product is not supposed to be thick when you put it on. You only need a thin layer to get the job done. One 8 fl oz. tube lasts for a LONG time in our house!

won't go back to my other shave cream

by miss mel [Verified Reviewer]

in san diego, ca on 10/1/08

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

Best Uses: Legs, Women

Bottom Line: recommended

love it - bought it when they were out of aveeno shave cream and now i won't go back! scent is subtle and not overpowering. feel is clean, moisturizing (without feeling oily - i hate that!) and a nice close shave. I think the lubrication is way better than a traditional shave cream and a little goes a long way. gentle on the bikini area, too. I have sensitive skin, and this works great for me!

Pricy but worth it

by Justine [Verified Reviewer]

in St. Louis, MO on 7/30/08

Pros: Close Shave

Best Uses: Bikini, Legs, Women

Bottom Line: recommended

If you use a lot, this product won't give you a close shave at all. If you use a teeny bit it will give you the closest shave you've ever had. I never spend a lot of money on beauty products, I go for the generic stuff, but this is one splurge I'm totally willing to make.

Very nice

by Expectant mom [Verified Reviewer]

in PA on 7/13/08

Pros: Close Shave, Fresh Scent, Moisturizes Skin

Best Uses: Face, Legs, Men, Women

Bottom Line: recommended

My husband and I both use this shave cream. It's very moisturizing and allows you to get a close shave. Plus, the smell is lovely. The other version with lime was irritating to my husband's skin. I definitely recommend the mango vanilla.

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.
