I just wanted to share that Target's brand, up&up, has a knockoff of this product that is pretty fantastic for a reasonable price! It is thick and creamy, with a mild and pleasant almond scent.
My legs are so soft and smooth after I use this stuff. Even when I skip a day or two of shaving, the regrowth on my legs doesn't feel as prickly. This is the best shave cream for my sensitive skin that I have used in 20 years. Give it a shot, you may like it! continued >>

Definitely one of the more expensive shaving creams, but it is REALLY REALLY REALLY good. My legs are extremely soft after and soooooo smooth. I have tried every shave cream you can buy for women and this one beats them all. It has an amazing lather, the blade glides over easily and the bottle lasts for a very long time (I shave my legs and armpits every three days).

This is the best shaving cream I have ever used, since first trying it about a year ago I have not had any desire to try anything else. The can is rust proof which is great, and one can lasts me much longer than any other product of this size. A little goes a long way, and I actually have noticed that I shave less often. I bought a pack of 6 on Amazon and it lasted me the whole year. Great product.

Before buying this product,I hated shaving cream. I've tried just about every drugstore brand and they all worked the same: nauseatingly strong scent, too much lather and yet not enough moisture to get a close shave and avoid razor nicks. My skin was frequently in need of heavy slatherings of lotion post shave because the creams were so drying and I couldn't go a day without my legs feeling itchy, dry, and regrowth feeling like a Christmas tree.

I had all about given up using shaving cream and was using cheap/unused hair conditioner to shave my legs (which does work fairly well) when I bought this product on a whim. My first shave with it and I knew it was different than other shaving products.

First off, the canister is great. It claims to be "rust proof" and so far it's lived up to that claim. No rust rings in the shower yet!
The scent of this shave gel is truly light; just enough to give you a hint of it while shaving but then disappears when you're done. It is somewhat vanilla-y, maybe a bit floral. Hard to describe. I could see why it might be polarizing;you either love it or hate it. Personally I love it.

You're not going to get a whole lot of lather in this product; that's probably because it is so moisturizing. A little goes a long way here.

This shave gel gets me a close shave and my legs feel super soft afterward. I rarely nick myself shaving anymore. I hardly need to put on lotion on my legs and they never feel dry, itchy, or tight. I can go a day or two without shaving because my skin is so soft and the regrowth is significantly less "prickly."

I'm on my 3rd or 4th can of this stuff and I don't see myself switching brands anytime soon. So far I've only used it in more humid summer weather, so I'll update the review when winter and dry skin season comes. Until then, this product gets HG status from me!

Great stuff. Really helps protect your skin while shaving, leaves legs soft, and after using it for a while, the hair does seem to come in finer and slower. I like to shave with Intuition now, though, so I don't use this that often. But before I started using Intuition, I used to use this almost exclusively.

This stuff smells like Play-Doh and shoots out of the can like Silly String. Did nothing more for me than regular shave gel.

This works quite well. I usually only use the intuition razors because I get a very close shave and almost never get razor burn but that stuff is to expensive to keep buying on the regular so I got a gilette razor and this stuff and I've only gotten razor burn once in 2 months so that's pretty good. Lasted me 2 months and I shave every other day.

Going against the crowd here. But tho this is a decent shave cream-no scent, a bit pricey-for me It Did Not Work. I am shaving just as often.

LOVE. I have used skintimate since I first started to shave- this is better. It is so gentle and the smoothest shave ever. I have actually started shaving more because I love using this product!

Great shave gel. It's much thicker and richer then other shave gels...so I get no nicks or shave burns when using this. And like some other reviewers I can get away with shaving every second or third day. For some reason I get slower hair regrowth using this. My local drug store does not stock this product, so I have to drive 20 minutes out of town to buy. That tells you how much I love this shave gel. I've tried SKintastic in a pinch, but it does not compare in the least.
