Barbasol makes an excellent shaving cream for us men who need to shave off that facial hair we get. I suppose that women could also use this same cream to shave their legs or underarms--but regardless of who's using this, please--oh, please--wet your skin first with warm water before putting on the shaving cream and shaving! You'll cut yourself all over if you don't! This caveat holds true for all brands of shaving creams.

Now that THAT'S out of the way, I can't say enough good things about this shaving cream. It's affordable; it can fit into an overnight carrying bag; the cap stays on so the cream can't dispense itself and ruin whatever is close to it; the cream stays fresh for a very long time and it does indeed help greatly to moisturize and lubricate your skin just before and during your shave. Excellent!

It's so easy to use, too: Just shake the can up and down a few times, remove the cap and push down on the button to make the shaving cream come out the nozzle.

Overall, Barbasol shaving cream is truly the best shaving cream in town. Stock up today and you'll never be sorry! SMILE

Alright, so I decided to try this product because I ran out of my normal gel and was on the run and this is what was available at the local store in a small town while I was visiting my parents. Growing up I had an acne problem, but my skin had been clear for years... A week after using this product, I began breaking out with acne ALL over the area that I covered with the shaving cream. I immediately threw out this product. The only reason I am giving it a 2 is because I did shave well with it, but the effects of it on sensitive skin are HORRENDOUS. I repeat, if you have sensitive skin or are the least bit prone to acne, do not buy this product.

In the 1970s when I started shaving, I used my dads Barbasol shaving cream. It's good value for the money. I tried other brands but still came back. So if your looking for a good quality, reasonably priced shaving cream you might want to consider Barbasol.

It's not as good as Gillette HydraGel, but it's cheaper. I buy mine from the dollar store, although it's better quality than anything else in the store.

I picked this stuff up on a trip and used most of the can before throwing it out. For me the negative effects were cumulative... at first it worked fine (and I felt tough and old school), but after a couple of months I realized my skin had become really tight, dried out, and sensitive. The problems disappeared after my wife replaced the Barbasol with some fancy stuff. Guess I'm just a pampered wuss.

By far the best shaving cream I have used. I won't use any other brand but Barbasol. It's good and inexpensive.

IF you've been using this shaving cream for many years, beware -- it seems that Barbasol has changed the scent of this can (as of mid-November 2010, possibly a few months or a year earlier.)

The scent is more acrid, lemony, sharper. And what's worse, the scent seems to stay with you longer -- doesn't wash off, so you're basically putting on a perfume that will last for at least a couple of hours. My wife hasn't really loved the change, so I've got to find a new aftershave... sigh, after all these years, they couldn't leave well enough alone.

The Barbasol Shaving Cream is the classic shaving cream. It has the original *old school* scent, it is priced reasonably, and great 11 ounce size. Recommended!

For me, this shaving cream provides a much closer shave than the Edge gel shaving creams I have been using for years. Sometimes hard to find in the store, it is a great value online at Amazon!

I was fooled by the color of the can into thinking this was the old Barbasol menthol I used to use and love, but couldn't find anymore. But alas, this was just a run-of-the-mill shaving cream with a different smell and no menthol kick. After years of searching several countries for menthol shaving cream, I have the answer. Barbasol produces it's menthol shaving cream for a foreign customer and keeps some in the US warehouse to sell to us old people who still want it. You can buy a case from Rochell at 1-800-841-3221. This is the result of three years of hunting for menthol shaving cream! Life is good
