Why: "I don't use shaving gels very often, but when I tried this product I got a close shave that smelled fantastic," says a reader, while another adds, "typically, I use body wash, but seeing how inexpensive this was, I gave it a shot. Nice light scent and leaves my skin super soft. Great buy." Another reviewer agrees, "I really like this shave gel. Nice scent, no drag and no nicks. I have several cans just so I don't run out at the wrong time."

My favorite razors now, with moisture strips, are Shick Hydro. I do also like Tend Skin and EOS shaving cream.

I like the razors with moisture strips, no need to buy shaving cream, but they don't last very long

I think I'll try some of these.

This is a great soap! I use it all the time. It did wounders for my dry and sensitive skin.

My favorite (EOS) is on this list! I'm also not surprised about the Aveeno products who made the list, since they make such great products.

great list

very helpful article! I'm going to try some of these. I'm always having problems with bumps and irritation after shaving.

Borrowing your man's razor is definitely not smart; all it does is expose your body to germs and bacteria, no matter how clean he is. Gross. However many of these shaving creams and razors are awesome. Best one for the bikini area is the Noxema razors. I have not been able to find them in stores in years but they are the best EVER.

Right now I use the Gillette Venus Razor and EOS Shave Cream and I am pretty happy with both of them. The EOS shave cream can kind of clog the razor blades though sometimes.

I think laser is sooooo much better .. i used to wax, shave and tweeze and i would see the hair grow back the next day but since ive been lasering i dont see any for months i love it

Waiting for the day when there will be an at home laser product for darker skin.. Wishful Thinking?? :-(

I love the Venus Embrace and I think I will try to shave down there with the help of the Bliss product. Thank You!!

I love the EOS cream!!! Other products are great suggestions too. I am looking for a new razor to try

I love the venus embrace razors!

by sportimonki13 Tuesday, January 17, 2012 at 08:37PM Report as inappropriate

Excellent suggestions. I find bikini zone doesn't really do anything for me, but some of those other products look worth a try - such as the alternative shave gels.

by TheLacqueredLady Sunday, December 25, 2011 at 12:17PM Report as inappropriate

loving this!!

by Mssaralee18 Tuesday, October 18, 2011 at 11:00AM Report as inappropriate

idk but im just not a fan of shaving gels. I find that the best thing is just going over your skin with dove soap and ur good to go!

by anna_davis Sunday, October 9, 2011 at 05:23PM Report as inappropriate

I love the satin care shave gel!

by queenofthegreen Tuesday, August 23, 2011 at 09:40AM Report as inappropriate

I also love Pure Silk. Randomly decided to give it a try one day because it's cheap and had coconut in it. It smelled fantastic--like real coconut, not artificial, and just faintly. It also worked really well. For guys, LUSH's shaving cream for men is amazing. My boyfriend's face is so smooth after using it.

hair conditioner?!?! i will have to give that a try.

by MissPurple Thursday, June 9, 2011 at 12:33PM Report as inappropriate

great list! found some products that I think may be helpful, thanks!

by awan0912 Wednesday, June 8, 2011 at 01:23PM Report as inappropriate

I use Pure Silk. It's a cheaper brand, but it works just fine. Makes my legs soft and smooth. I do want to try one of the razor bump products mentioned, though. I'll have to figure out which one sounds best to me. Thanks for the info!

Err, didn't find anything helpful here. Aveenos are OK but overpriced. I wish I had money to continue getting my laser hair removal therapies to give a long term solution to this annoying shaving process.

by ArmenianGal Wednesday, April 13, 2011 at 12:12PM Report as inappropriate

I just use hair conditioner to shave. Works great for me.

by socketpinch Wednesday, April 13, 2011 at 11:48AM Report as inappropriate

I think I'm too poor and old fashioned to use anything but plain old shaving cream...

by LittleBunny Wednesday, April 13, 2011 at 11:08AM Report as inappropriate

allergic to aveeno. /:

by yckitsmary Saturday, April 9, 2011 at 12:01PM Report as inappropriate

That eos shaving cream SUCKS! There isn't a lot of product inside, it's hard to get out (compared to aerosol type shaving creams), and isn't very good for shaving. What DOES help me get a good shave is a razor with several blades. The more the better.
