After years of many trials and an equal number of errors the man at our house says he's found the perfect shave cream.

He's not at all the forgetful type so he never went out with bits of tissue stuck to his face after nicking himself, but there were days when his skin definitely appeared red and irritated. No more. He attributes the Glycerin and Aloe base that lubricates as it allows him to get a closer, cleaner and nick-free shave.

Whatever the case, he's one happy fella, and he does look great!

I feel like I've tried every product available to reduce in-grown hairs and found nothing that worked. My daily routine involved tweezers and some pain. I had moderate success with Tend Skin until I suddenly developed an allergic reaction to the alcohol.

This shaving cream is simply an unbelievable product. I never thought that a shaving cream would be able to clear up in-grown hairs, but it does.

A jar lasts me three months and the $25 price tag is worth the extra expense of having such a pleasurable shave. The clear formula allow you to avoid blemishes and the blade slides over my skin like I just put on shaving oil.

FYI-this is available at Barney's Co-op in NYC.

I've used this product for a couple of months and it does a good job, but
nothing stellar. It is better than anything you would find at Walmart or
the supermarket (i.e. Gillete, Colgage, etc) but not too different from a some shaving cream formulas from Kiehls or Art of Shaving. Believe me, i've tried a bunch of shaving creams and gels and this product TOO EXPENSIVE.
A better bet would be Kiehls shaving formulas which work well to improve my razor bumps and last a lot longer.
I give it 3 stars because of price and also because 1/2 the reviews to date 5/10/08, have come from the South Florida area. Mens Science is also based in South Florida. Coincidence - perhaps, but I'm always a skeptic of a small number of reviews.

If you are looking to change your regimen, change creams or gels, switch from electric, or avoid skin issues, this is the stuff that will help. After switching from my panasonic electric razor and dramatically changing my shaving method, this product has performed incredibly well. I shave about every other day. With one large drop on each side of my face, allowing it to sit for about 1 minute while i brush my teeth, this shave lotion allows my fusion razor to glide perfectly, with no catching, no sticking, and easy rinse off. I follow it with the menscience post-shave spray which i need to calm ingrown hairs. The shave lotion by itself has made me very happy and I recommend it to friends. All in all, I couldn't be more pleased. Although not every menscience product performs as promised, this formula does.

Having very sensitive skin I was very excited to see that this product works well with skin prone to irritation. My shave started out well, but by the next morning I had practically the same amount of razor burn and ingrown hairs that always plague me the next day. Overall, I am very disappointed with this product as it didn't work much better than your typical generic shaving cream.

I think of myself as a hardy person from the North Country. I won't have imagined myself using a skin care product. My wife bought me this as a gift and she converted me to it. I use to buy expensive cologne as a means of getting my wife's attention. Instead, she advised keeping my face healthy and not chapped by the harsh winters. This has been a better way of getting her attention and keeping it long-term. She really likes how it feels and the way I look.

The reason I continue to use this product is the use of natural products and no cologne. It doesn't feel like you're using skin-care products or let others know you are using it.

I've been using this product for almost two weeks now, and my face has never felt softer. At the begining I was a little surprised because this product is not like other shaving creams, it has absolutely no foam and it's more like a cross between a cream and a gel. It really protects my skin and I have no irritation, nicks or redness after shaving. I have very sensitive skin and I have had problems finding a shaving product that would not irritate my skin and still give me a close shave. I tried my old shaving foam after 1 week, and I could not believe I had been shaving with that before. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for the best shave cream.

First of all, I'm not a dermatologist, I'm just a heterosexual guy with sensitive skin who has tried many products and done a lot of research in the search of the right products. I offer reviews of Clinique, zirh, menscience, art of shaving and baxter of California, hope my reviews are helpful.
this shave cream is great, although it takes too much cream to get a good shave. besides that, it's a great purchase

I used this for about a month. During this time, my face gradually broke out worse than when I was 15 years old and working at a fast food restaurant. I didn't think it could be this product because it has acne medication (salicylic acid). But, I quit using it, and sure enough it gradually became better and two weeks later, not a zit in sight.

You're hearing from someone who's had a great problem with ingrown hairs ever since my college days. This product is phenomenal. I've tried to many things and so many different products before and this one by far superceeds anything i've ever put on my face. I feel so much better and much more confident with clearer skin. This product helps your face feel smooth and it definitely is great with an electric razor. Thank you MenScience.
