Original Formula Sandalwood

I tried a tube of Cremo about 6 months and I am still using it, so it is obviously long-lasting! Cremo moisturizes my face - a big benefit. Very close shaves - another big benefit. I have used the mint scent as well as the citrus. Both are really nice, very hi quality products.

Since I went to using a shaving brush about 10 years ago I've tried numerous shaving soaps and creams, everything from locally handmade soap to national brands. In general I prefer creams to soaps, as I feel I get a better shave with fewer problems with a good shave cream. Proraso , C.O. Bigelow , Omega , Musgo Real , and Old Spice just to name a few. Yes, I know the first three are basically the same one under a different label. I was intrigued by the reviews for this Cremo Shaving Cream so I tried it. I'm glad I did! The consistency of this cream is similar to those I mentioned in the first paragraph. And as a clean fresh citrusy scent that doesn't linger, which is exactly what I want in the shave cream. After reading the Q&A about this cream here on Amazon I discovered it could be applied with a brush, in addition to the preferred method, rubbing it directly on your face with your hands. I put a small dollop of the cream in my shaving bowl and worked it into my badger brush with a small amount of water. Using this method, the brush applies a thin layer of shave cream. This is more than enough to provide a clean smooth shave. Not only does it provide a smooth shave, it doesn't clog the razor like the other brands can and rinses cleaner than any of the aforementioned brands. When combined with the Fusion ProGlide PowerRazor the result is a nearly perfect shave. No White Residue I have black ceramic shaving bowl. One gripe I have about all the previously mentioned shave creams, plus a few others I've tried, is that they all leave a white residue behind on the razor and on the bowl. If I go more than a couple of shaves without cleaning that residue off the bowl I find I need a Scotch-Brite pad to remove it. This shave cream leaves no residue. While this doesn't make or break the deal, it's one more advantage of this brand of shave cream. Almost Too Slick This cream is so slick that if you have any on your hands or if anything dribbles down the handle of the razor while shaving it will make the handle so slippery that you may have difficulty controlling it. Just make sure you wipe down the handle and your hands before you start to shave. The Bottom Line The tagline on the tube says "Astonishingly Superior." I don't know as I would go that far, but this is a really nice shave cream. I get a decent lather with my shaving brush, a smooth shave, and no white residue shaving bowl. This one's a keeper!

For several years I've been using Cremo shaving cream and was happy with it, but I decided to try the Palo Santo version. It was a great discovery to find that it has a better formula than the other versions. This one is thicker and creamier, offering a more comfortable shave as the razor blades glide incredibly smoothly. It also lasts much longer than the other versions due to its greater density and improved emollient formula. And the palo santo scent is very pleasant. Highly recommended.

UPDATED REVIEW: After a response from a representative from Cremo, I decided to try this again. I seem to have been using this wrong thinking it would generate a rich lather - apparently, that is not how this product works. I was using it with a shave brush attempting to use it like a traditional shave cream. So I followed the directions exactly and got much better results with revised expectations. The product is not designed to generate heavy, rich lather but produce a very slick surface for shaving. When used exactly according to the directions it works much better. It does not generate a lather much at all,but does create a very slick coating for shaving. Overall I'd rate it as follows: Slickness: 5/5 - just as, if not more slick than traditional shave creams. It is water-activated, so your skin must be wet. I found that as it dried, you needed to keep adding water. Irritation: 5/5 - I had virtually no irritation in two shaves. I do a "2 pass" shave with a DE blade. Shave closeness: 5/5 - Results in a very close shave, even though there are a lot of variables like razor, blade, etc. Overall, I changed from 3/5 to give it a 4/5 stars for two primary reasons: (1) Personal preference, I like shave creams that produce a rich, creamy lather. This product produces little to no lather by design, which is just a personal preference matter. (2) I found that it tends to dry out quickly when shaving. After I apply it to my face, I found that it dries quickly and needs to be rewetted. Water is the key - if its wet, it produces a very slick surface on your skin that makes for a close, irritation-free shave...as long as you keep it hydrated with water. Shave creams that produce a rich lather don't tend to dry out during the shave. I hope this helps. Thanks to Fred from Cremo for the tips on how to use this and what to expect. It is not intended to be used like a traditional shave cream that I'm used to. ORIGINAL REVIEW: This is OK...not great, not bad, but just OK. I am always looking for new shave products to try, and I figured I'd give this shave creme a test run. The price wasn't bad, but compared to other shave cremes I've tried over the years, this is not one of my favorites. Tops on my list are Taylor of Old Bond Street products - they have the best shave cremes I've found regardless of price. Smooth, makes a great lather, and available in a variety of flavors. The best combination of price and performance shave creme I've found are C.O. Bigelow products. These are the best at a very cost-competitve price (I can get two tubes for $15.00). Its not as smooth, slick and lathery as the TOBS, but, it comes in a close second at a great price. The Cremo product is about the same price as the C.O. Bigelow, and doesn't produce as good a lather or smoothness. The one thing I do like is the cool menthol flavor does produce a very nice cooling effect on your skin.

Easy to dispense. A little goes a long way. Great lather, doesn't irritate my sensitive skin, and seems to protect my skin from razor burn. Scent is nearly neutral. Is the best shave cream I have ever used. Highly recommend!

super slick, a little goes a long way, best shave cream out there! smells good and easy to wash off. This is my go-to for shaving!

Gives Art of Shaving a run for their money!! (For reference, I’m a woman, and I shave my entire body.) My bf introduced me to Art of $$$having, which was a huge upgrade from soap, all the grocery store “women’s” shave creams I’ve tried, or the Gillette foam in a can that my dad uses. But I found their preshave oil to be far too thick for me, and I couldn’t help but use way too much. I find their shaving cream to be excellent, however, so I used it for at least 2-3 years. But they are extremely expensive, so I continuously looked for an alternative. I found Cremo at T🎯, and I bought the women’s lavender. But I found it to be lacking a bit. I called Cremo and told them I was an avid AoS user, had tried their product and wanted to continue using it, but found that it was still insufficient on its own because I still needed to use mineral/baby oil first. Cremo said you don’t need preshave oil because it’s incorporated into their formula. So I went back to AoS because I was being petulant about that response. 🤔😂 I could’ve simply continued to apply mineral oil first since that’s what I was doing with AoS first anyway! After a while, I saw the sensitive formula of Cremo and tried it. I’ve never looked back!! Yes, AoS is great, but Cremo is actually better for me! I don’t know if their lavender scent and sensitive formulations have different “slickening” ingredients, but whatever it is, their sensitive formula works amazingly well for me!! A lot of men have posted reviews seeming to rave or complain about how many shaves they get from one tube of Cremo. But when you’re coming from years of paying AoS prices, that kind of talk is laughable. You don’t have to do any math to know Cremo is much more economical than AoS. That said, my bf still uses AoS, but he also makes 3x my income. If you used AoS and are looking for a more budget - friendly alternative, look no further .than this brand! While Cremo refuses to produce shaving oil, if you feel you still need that, I have found that mineral oil, aka baby oil, works very well for me. But I had also always found AoS shave oil to be too thick anyway. I will likely never go back to AoS products because I don't appreciate being asked to pay an exorbitant price for toiletries made by P&G. I do not see them as a luxury brand. I find that with mineral oil and Cremo shave cream in any scent, but especially in the sensitive skin version, my skin comes out cleanly shaven, comfortable, and I get no or very few nicks.

The smoothness is very evident, as the razor slides effortlessly through my hair and I've found myself suffering less from nicks and cuts than with normal foam. It goes a long way, meaning you'll have this for a good period of time. The only problem with this product is its marketing towards sensitive skin. After about a month of using it, I developed an irritation which I've never had before when using other products. Maybe it's just because of one of the ingredients, but it's hard to not be affected by this when it's supposed to cater to sensitive skin.

Superb close shave with no itching or discomfort. Easy to use. Finish Shaving in 3 mts flat.

Gives you a closer shave, less skin irritation, smooth after shave feeling, great product

A nice shaving cream with a refreshing mint and smell after shaving. Can shave close and the skin feels smooth even after shaving due to this cream.

This is the best scent ever that you will get as a shaver cream in theatke5. The scent is the same as the scent of the perfume Creed silver mountain.
