4.0 out of 5 stars This is probably the best pre-electric lotion on the market, April 1, 2004

By	Dorian Lopez (North Bergen, NJ USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Afta Pre-Electric Shave Lotion with Skin Conditioners, Original, 3-Ounces (Pack of 12) (Health and Beauty)

Before I started using Afta, I was using Skin Bracer and also William's 'Lectric (original). I was unhappy with both of these products because putting them on was basically the same as putting on a handful of oil on your face. These products are so greasy and sticky=--they are absolutely disgusting--the Williams is especially greasy. In addition I had often noticed that after using the Skin Bracer product my face often burned after shaving, and if I put on after shave it burned even more!!!

One day I was in the supermarket and saw the Afta product and thinking that it couldn't be any worse than the other products i had tried i picked it up-I have never gone back since.

Afta is a nice soothing cream--it is not in the slightest greasy or oily. It has a nice smell and in addition it conditions and smoothens the skin. Razor burn is never a problem with this product.In addition the cream does not clog up the razor like an excessively oily product can. It provides a very close shave--I definitely see and feel the difference when I shave without using it. The only reason why i gave it 4 stars is because as someone else mentioned the smell on the original formula (green label) can be a bit overwhelming---try the blue label afta (i think its called Mountain Fresh or Mountain Breeze)for a more subtle and gentler aroma.

I have been told that William's Lectric now produces a pre-lectric gel for those that disliked its original formula and prefer the Afta cream. Supposedly the new William's gel is better than Afta, but since I still haven't been able to locate it in my local area i haven't been able to do a comparison.

5.0 out of 5 stars A miracle product!, March 1, 2005

By	Mr. Retropia (Columbus, OH United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Afta Pre-Electric Shave Lotion with Skin Conditioners, Original, 3-Ounces (Pack of 12) (Health and Beauty)

I've never tried any other brands of pre-electric shave conditioner, but I was so displeased with my new electric shaver that I decided to give Afta a try; I chose the "Fresh" scent. (It's kind of a silly name, since "Afta" makes you think of "after," and you're supposed to use it "before"!)

Afta has given me a dramatically closer shave, and one that is more comfortable, too. It made the difference between an unacceptable shave and an acceptable one.

As the bottle says, it is a non-greasy formula. It doesn't appear to clog the razor heads, also as claimed. I've only been using it for three weeks, so it may be too early to tell.

The only drawback, which I consider minor, is that the fragrance is rather strong. It reminds me of an inexpensive after shave lotion. It doesn't dissipate with my post-shave rinse with water; you would probably need to wash with soap and water to make it completely go away.

However, I'm so pleased with the improvement in quality of my shave that the lingering aroma doesn't bother me in the least.

4.0 out of 5 stars best pre-electric lotion on the market, October 20, 2004

Williams Lectric Shave goes on greasy, doesn't protect against razor burn like Afta. Goes on non-greasy, shave is close and smooth - it's the only thing I use now with my Norelco or Braun shavers. Highly recommended.
