Title: Shaving Cream
Post by: hypeceo on January 05, 2008, 04:19:50 PM
what's up everyone?  i was wondering what you all consider the best shaving cream.  funny enough the shaving cream that works best for me is Barbasol...it's only .99 cents a can but it works better that anything else for me.  what do you guys use?

Thanks to my Sly bros in here, I am able to use Headslick shave cream which has worked the best for me of the dozens of shaving lubricants that I have tried.

The two that work best for me are HeadSlick and Bald Guyz Shaving Gel.  Though, I'm also a big fan of Pacific Shaving Oil. Those are what I use in the shower.

Out of the shower, I also like Bold For Men.

Headslick is the standard for me.  I also sometimes combine it with Shave Secret.  On occasion I'll use Bald Guyz, but it drys out my skin if I use it several days in a row.

I used Edge Gel for years but switched to Headslick when I noticed that my bathroom sink was getting stopped up frequently.  The Headslick works well and the drain stays clear longer (though it is starting to slow down again lately), but I miss the nice stiff foam that you get with the gel.  Tried Barbasol once but did not like it at all.

I just use some Edge Shaving gel with a little bit of baby oil before I apply the gel.  Seems to work good.

I'm waiting for my Mach3 gel to run out so I can try something new... I'm not a huge fan! I dunno where to get Headslick anywhere in Oz, so I dunno what i'll try next. Gillette Fushion gel or King Of Shaves may be??

Cam unfortunatley there are no retailers that I know of in OZ that sell Headslick. Shaver Shop sells Headlube and the Headblade razor.

A great shave gel you can get in Woolies or Coles is King Of Shaves Alphagel and its little brother Alpha oil. They are a great product and give you a good 30-40 shaves from 1 tube.

Hey Hyperceo, welcome! The Barbasol Gel is a great product when you combine price & effectiveness. I used to use it for my face, but can't seem to find it around here recently. If I could, I'd probably go back to it. I'm currently using HeadSlick, but I add a little Barbasol Shave Cream after I apply HeadSlick...seems to help a little with the razor clogging you get with HeadSlick.

Enjoy the Forum!

Thanks for all the advice guys!  I appreciate it.  What about shaving with hair conditioner?  I heard that really works well...

I've tried a lot of gels, oils, creams so far in my quest for the perfect shave and I keep coming back to Edge Gel for sensitive skin which works well for me O0

hypeceo....a few of the sly brahs have used hair conditioner (during emergency when they ran out) & it worked fine.  i haven't tried it out yet because  i keep an extra bottle of headslick & i sometimes use dove (unscented) soap also.  the dove soap is cheap & it keeps my dome smooooth & slick.
