- The Art of Shaving Shaving Cream

This is my first time using a brush and blade shave. It would seem that I accidentally found the best cream on the market. Works perfectly with a cold water Wolverine brush. Zero skin irritation. Sandalwood scent is beguilingly masculine. I find myself looking forward to the scent as much as my perfectly clean shaven face. I cannot recommend this product enough. For someone who values style, scent, substance and quality, this checks all the boxes. I won’t try any other brand because seriously why would I?

I have been using this for several weeks now. First, I get my face wet with hot water. Then, I rub in and coat my beard with beard oil. Let that sit for a minute. Then, I use a beaver hair brush and a mug to stir and lather up a small amount of this shaving cream. The shave is good, close and protects well against nicks, cuts, razor burn and sensitive skin. I do think you have to use a bit more than just a finger tip amount of this shaving cream to get through an entire shave. But, overall, really good shaving cream and it protects against the main things I am trying to avoid having to deal with. I must emphasize, having a real beaver hair brush is a must here and the shaving mug as well. Beard oil at the start to often the beard helps and gives added protection. Of course, a nice multi blade razor is key. I have to see how far this 5 ounce carries me now. That will dictate if I buy this again later.

Best shaving cream I have found. Smells great! Leaves skin smooth and helps me avoid cuts. I only needed a little to get coverage since it’s packed in fairly dense.

I tried all kinds of Shaving creams and the Art of Shaving is absolutely the best great for your beard great for everything I suggest using all three products of the oil the shave cream and the aftershave. Awesome company

smells good, lathers & "re-lathers" well, really slick beneath the razor, so much so, I wasn't sure my razor was cutting anything. No irritation afterwards. Will buy again.

Never have I had a shaving cream work as well as this. I use it on my head. Which people that shave there heads know, your head is more sensitive that your face. I not only get a extremely close shave but I also dont get a skin burn. Bought this over a year ago. A peanut size of cream is all you need. Have only used about 1/3. Gave up on my Barbosol, which I have used for 40 years.

First of all, the price might be higher than most shave soaps you see advertised, but it is also probably double the amount of product than those others you might be looking at. So in that respect despite the higher price, you are getting much more for your money. Next, performance, and it does perform well. It creates a soft foam that helps the razor glide effortlessly over your face. I use one of those silicone shave bowls with the ribbed bottom (I recommend these for anyone as they help economize the amount of product needed). All it takes is one shallow dip of a shave brush and you can whip up a nice soft lather in seconds, that has staying power. When applied to the skin there seems to be a slight cooling effect, but this may be entirely subjective. The scent is pretty accurate, and also contains a fresh, almost citrusy element in addition to the sandalwood notes. The scent is present but not overpowering and even after your shave, you will still catch the scent for a couple hours, but very subtle at that. Overall a great product, I have to admit, even though it is now under the umbrella of one of the big guns (Proctor and Gamble). I prefer to get my products from independent sources, not corporate entities like P and G. But to be fair, it does perform and so I have to admit that.

After 4 days my face gets a bit sloppy and in need of a shave but 7 days really makes it ready for a full on cleanout. I went ahead and ordered using prime and as soon as it arrived, put it to the test. A nice mid temp shower without getting too hot or cold and after a 5 minute soak, applied a dab on my two fingers. This was enough to get a full on rub and scrub across my entire hairy face and with a new 5 blade cartridge, got to shaving. It performed as many of the other shaving foams/gels have in the past. Nothing new or out of this world but helped make a shave happen. I do enjoy the smell of the red label. Lavender might be a next buy given the chance. Should last for a few hundred shaves.

Works great.

True Art of Shaving - product - love the scent and glide

Love the shave

Excellent shaving cream when used with the pre shave oil and shaving balm. I've been using this product for 5 years and have not looked back. Every other shaving cream or foam I've used irritated my skin before switching to the Art of Shaving. The Sandalwood also smells great!
