This is the only shave gel I use. I love it. Smells great. Works great. Doesn't irritate my skin (most dry me out or leave a nasty film). And 1 bottle lasts forever. Love it.

I have been faithful to this product since time immemorial. As a reviewer below said, I went through periods of bar soap, hair conditioner and olive oil. But this gives the best/closest shave by far. None of the scents have bothered me either way. I have not tried the lavender, I prefer fruity scents for some reason. The peaches scent was my favorite, but I haven't been able to find it anywhere. The mango is a close second.
The point is this is a must have classic product.

I ♥ skintimate shaving gels!! They have such a wide variety of scents! My fav's are Watermelon and Mango. They lather up REALLY well, you dont need much and the do a great job of protecting my legs from nicks and cuts. They seem to help keep my skin soft too which is a plus :)

i started using skintimate a few months ago for my underarms, since i wax everywhere else.
(i used to use nair; never again)
i bought the watermelon scent & it's DELICIOUS.
it's also a majorrr plus that all the formulas have olive butter & vitamin E, like someone else already noted. it lathers up richly & leaves skin soft.
i have no problem with this besides the minor rusting at the bottom of the can but it's nothing that'll deter me from returning back to it :]

I started using this brand of shaving gel since junior high or so, and haven't strayed. I did go through a period of using hair conditioner as shaving gel as well as relying on those self-foaming Venus razors as well as regular bar soap, but nothing gets me a closer shave than with this shave gel - my legs are seriously silky soft afterwards. My favorite formula right now is the dry skin formula, although the ones I've tried all perform well. I haven't had any allergic reactions to this, but they are fairly heavily scented.





I usually buy these in a multipack from Costco, but you can easily find these <$5 at most drugstores.

MUST HAVE IN YOUR SHOWER! I've been using this shaving gel forever. I have not found anything that is better. My favorite is the one in the pink can. It lathers nicely and has a nice light scent. Leaves my legs smooth smooth smooth. The only thing I don't like is that the bottom of that can gets icky rusty.

I absolutely love the SignatureScents in "Raspberry Rain". Not only does it have a really nice, thick, foamy lather to it, but it also smells so good. I love that it has Olive Butter and Vitamine E in it which makes my skin feel very smooth after I've shaved.

The price is very inexpensive at right around $3.00 for a 7 oz. can at WalMart.

I do try out new scents from the SignatureScents line, but I tend to come back to the "Raspberry Rain" scent again and again.

I have no need or desire to look for other shaving gel products, this is definitely my Go-To.
-Needless to say, I will buy again, and I highly recommend it to others.:)

I love the way this stuff lathers up. My skin feels so much softer and smoother when I use this than when I use just soap. It's also very gentle on sensitive skin.

The blue, sensitive skin version is my HG shaving cream. I've used every cheap shaving cream out there (yeah, I'm not spending $20 on something to shave my legs with, especially when it's not entirely necessary), and this is the only one that doesn't make my very sensitive legs develop screaming red bumps. I've bought it over and over and over.

I use this product all the time! Creams or lotions have never really worked for my skin type...sensitive. The gel leaves my skin feeling soft and smelling great after a shave. I have my daughter using it as well and she loves it too!

I got the tropical one and i love the gel forumla when you get it out of the can, and then it turns into lathery. Its fun haha. I probably would repurchase just because of the fun smells!

Only shave gel I've used for 10 years. I have thick leg hair and have to shave every single day and Skintimate prevents cuts and is more moisturizing than shaving with soap.

I got this a couple of years ago as a sample from Delias (for buying so much), & don't have many complaints about it.
I wondered why it's necessary to go out and buy gel specifically for shaving when you can just borrow your mum's hair conditioner, but the raspberry flavour one I got smelled gorgeous & seemed to do the job just fine. Not a necessary product to keep in the cupboard, but does what it says.

Really good. I've used this forever, and it works much better than conditioner for me.. I've found when I use conditioner for some reason i don't get as close a shave. I'm not crazy about how scented/colored it is.. I usually don't like to use too many chemicals/scented products on my skin, so I'm going to finish the can and then I'm on the lookout for a new shaving cream.
EDIT jan 01/09:
This started to really really dry out my skin, so i've switched to aveeno shaving cream.. this stuff is just way too processed and chemical for me, thanks.

This was the first brand of shave cream I used as a young teen when I first started shaving and I loved it and still do for the most part. I think the scents are great and I love shaving with foam. I agree that shaving with conditioner is cheaper and does a fine job, but I still find myself buyiing this in all the new scents that come out and using it regularly. It is very moisturzing and does what it claims to do, keeps your legs smooth and nick free.

This a a great shave gel but... Why use a shave gel when any generic shower gel will do the job? I'm only giving it 3 Lippies because it's really not a necessary product. I love the way the gel feels but I will not repurchase it.

This is an good generic Shaving gel. Nothing special to report. It's as good as any other out there.

However, with the Blue baby soft one, I get the worst razor burn ever (it's not my razor as i dont get it with a different gel). It's so bad when i get out the bath/shower, i can barely keep still with the itching. I have to have a freezing shower afterwards and apply ice cubes to my legs to settle it. I don't consider myself to have sensitive skin, it's just this one product from Skintimate. Even with their other variaties i don't get this problem.

The bottle rust so becarefull where you keep it!!

Love this shave gel! My legs feel incredibly smooth after using this and it smells wonderful as well. I thought soap was doing its job until I purchased a can of this shaving gel! What I also love is that the smoothness lasts for a few days. This review is based on its Aromatherapy line, and I picked Tropical Splash with Olive Butter.

loved the purple version of this stuff.... extra protection i believe? ultra protection? (i shop by color, i rarely remember what the formulation is, just that I use that particular color in a product). and then the purple DISAPPEARED! i can't find it anywhere, and it's not on the skintimate website. I was SO sad. I used the purple for years, from the first time I shaved up until probably two years ago when I couldn't find it anymore. I tried the other colors and didn't like them as much, and can't use anything with the crazy scents like raspberry and whatnot. So unfortunately, I've had to find something new (gillette for women, again in purple), because my beloved purple skintimate has disappeared. If any one knows where to find it still, I'd love to know!
