• When you buy a shaving cream,  gel or oil,  what do you look for?  What type of texture, smell, etc?

• I have to admit I need to investigate a few more, currently I am still using the shaving gel that I used to buy when I shaved my face, found I had a few unopened bottles indoors

• What have you tried so far?

• King of shaves gel is the only one I have tried, it's ok but I find shaving my head with it tends to cause it to migrate down my face - this could be a problem with other gels, I have no idea!
  
  I don't use anything like a shaving brush either, just my hands.

• I prefer a brush and shave soap. I dont like anything with chemicals

• I'm currently using nivea sensitive cream, and it's great! Only comes in a small tube, but it's better for me that the king of shaves, close with no irritation

• I prefer creams because gels feel too sticky to me. I always look at the ingredients and if the product is cruelty-free.
