Baxter of California Super Close Shave Formula for Men | Easy Glide| Soothing Formula | Tea Tree Oil, Witch Hazel & Peppermint

I must first state everyone's skin can be different. Therefore with any product like this you are using at your own risk.Now my skin is a razor's nightmare. My beard can be tough and my skin is very sensitive on the neck. I never shave without having razor bumps. I am sure many men know this feeling. Sometimes the razor bumps are worse and my skin can end up feeling burned after trying to get a close shave. I have found myself trying to shave very lightly on the neck during the dry Winter months where my skin is even more sensitive.Over the years I have tried just about every razor and shave cream/gel. Generally I always get about the same results. I just take the best results I can get and settle on that.I was lucky enough to get a sample of this forumla a few weeks ago. I was a little hestitant on it doing any better than my current forumla. So I tried it and was sold. I ordered this formula and have been more than happy. I feel like the razor and my skin are finally working together to create the perfect shave. This formula seems to actually work better than anything I have ever tried. I may still have a few bumps but it is nothing like before. I skin feels smooth and looks unscathed. Overall this is an excellent price for such a good formula.

First, let me tell you about my set-up so you know how to compare my daily shaving routine to yours and better understand my viewpoint of this product. I use the Merkur Safety Razor, purchased here from Amazon, along with Merkur Razor Blades. I replace the razor blades in my razor about once a week, so I get about 4-5 shaves out of each blade. I use a $14 badger hair brush to apply the shaving cream.Now, to the shaving cream. I love this stuff. Period. It really does allow a super close shave as the title of the product suggests. A tiny amount goes a long way, as it lathers up significantly. On top of the great shave I get with this stuff, it has a cooling effect on my skin when I put it on, which makes my face feel great when I'm done shaving too. I feel like my face isn't as dry when I'm done shaving, which is a great added benefit.This shaving cream is pretty awesome. At first I was a little concerned with spending so much money on shaving cream, especially for only 10 oz. However, a little bit of this stuff goes a long way, especially with a badger hair brush. A dime sized amount is all you need for your entire face. I expect that this product will last me a few months, which should make it about par with any other can(s) of shaving cream that I would have used from wal-mart over the same period. I promise that if you take the chance to try this product out you will be hooked, I know I will be buying it again. Thanks Baxter of California for making my morning routine better!

It's a little different than what I'm use to,it doesn't foam up,and it can be a little messy,but i love the scent and it does help give me a clean shave.

I have read a number of reviews on here and have come to one conclusion, the majority of you have NO CLUE on how to apply it. For starters, DO NOT FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS ON THE YOUTUBE VIDEO SHOWS. I bought my first container of it from my barber, who showed me how to apply it. To apply it properly wet your shaving brush. Swipe your shaving brush across the top of it two to three times. You won't be able to see a cream on the brush but, it is actually in the water that you wet your brush with. If you don't believe me, just squeeze the bristles, you will see water come out with the shaving cream in it. Once the brush has the shaving cream on and in it, brush it on your freshly washed face. After all that has been done, you are ready to shave. If you apply it that way, a whole puck of it will last you at least four to five months.Note: I have probably the most sensitive out and have NEVER developed a RASH or suffered from razor burn.

I recently purchased Baxter’s bar soap and it is the best soap I have ever used. So I decided to try their shave cream. I was highly disappointed.I have been shaving with a safety razor for many years, and tried many different creams, gels, and methods. Most are adequate, with one or two that have stood out from the rest as my favorites. Those have been hard to beat, but that doesn’t stop me from trying.Unfortunately, this Baxter shave cream just did not even rise to the level of adequate. I tried multiple methods of application (rubbing directly on face, putting in a bowl and mixing up with a shave brush, using the shave brush directly into the container and applying the cream that way). Every way failed to produce a smooth shave. My razor continuously “hung” on my face as I moved it down, it was not smooth at all. Most decent shave creams leave the skin feeling smooth, and even with a safety razor I can make another short pass. Not with this cream. Even though I used a new blade, I ended up with several cuts and nicks over the 4 days I tried this. I rarely get any cuts or nicks. It was basically like I was shaving with no cream at all.Bottom line, this cream is not worth the price. It’s not smooth and resulted in many nicks and cuts. It’s so bad I cannot even use it. I recommended Cremo or Taylor of Old Bond Street shaving creams instead.

My husband went from not caring of what shave cream to use to ONLY using this one Use with a shave brush and he says he will never use anything else
