Good Enough

I have always had a hard time paying for shaving products! They seem like such a waste of money that more often than not I will simply end up using some leftover hair conditioner for when I have to shave my legs. This product, however, allows me to get a nice clean, close shave, without breaking the bank. Other brands such as Skintimate are just WAY too expensive for me to justify the price to mys...read moreelf. I like the fact that I can find this brand at almost any store that I go to. They even sell it at the dollar store, which is a great deal. So I went in and got the Raspberry scent of this brand, and I must say that it was definitely an upgrade from my usual hair conditioner shave. The product came out of the can in a nice, even amount, and the consistency was very rich and creamy. The foam had a very pleasant smell, not too strong or too sweet, but still nice and seemed to linger on my skin after the shower was over. I also liked that it seemed to provide a good barrier between the razor blade and my skin, but didn't prevent me from getting a close shave, either. Because I used this, I avoided getting any nicks or cuts on my legs, and I didn't have any razor burn afterward either. All in all I would say that this is a great product, especially for the price, and that I fully plan to continue using it for all of my shaving needs. Definitely a bargain winner!

AMAZING!

I've used Skintimate shave gel for many years (and some of their odd spinoffs), and have also tried eos' shave cream, and Gilette Satin Care, but one day at the store, I saw the Pure Silk Coconut and Oat Flour shaving cream and decided to give it a try, because I was a little tired of using the same scented shaving creams over and over (and let's face it, a lot of the Skintimate scents seem pretty...read more similar). and coconut seemed like a nice change of pace. And I go through shaving cream rather quickly, since I use a generous amount when I shave, so having a bigger can that cost less was appealing. My boyfriend saw me pick it up and raised an eyebrow, saying I could get one of the nicer ones. I'll admit, the Pure Silk packaging isn't very pretty--it's a tad bit utilitarian and not very modern. But I figured the worst that would happen would be that I threw it away. The first time I used it, I looooved it. The scent is nice and smells like real coconut, but isn't overwhelming at all. I really, really like it. In terms of the quality of shave, I think it did just fine compared to other brands (the real difference is how new your razor is, in my opinion. I only get about 4-5 shaves out of each razor before I need to chuck it). It didn't irritate my skin at all. Make sure you shake the can before using--it will still foam if you don't, but it'll be a little liquidy. If you shake it, it'll give you the best foam. Overall, I'd say this is a fantastic product that really is a good value. I'm definitely repurchasing it. When I ran out, I tried one of the other varieties--it's nice also, but the coconut is definitely my favorite.

Pure Silk Shave Cream

I buy my teenage daughter Pure Silk shave creams to use when shaving her legs. We both love the fruit scents and this helps her get a close shave without any nicks or razor burn. It is also creamy and thick for a smooth shave! Plus, they do help keep your legs moisturized as well.

Surprise! Inexpensive and it WORKS.

For many years I have used Skintimate products, which come in fun cans and lots of different scents. I am recently cutting back on my budget, especially when it comes to beauty. Skintimate products vary in price between $2.20-$3.80 or so, depending on the product and size of the can. However, this product is $1.68 at my Walmart, and only a $1 at the Dollar Tree, which is where I purchased it! That...read more is over half off for a larger can than Skintimate. Wow. The cans are not as "fun" looking, but it does come in many scents, and the bonus is, I decreased my budget and the time it takes to shave. The cream rinses MUCH better from the razor than a gel and there is no clogging. Works great!

I've been using this for years and it's a great deal for the price. It comes in a 2-pack which is super economical. It goes on thick and creamy and really gives me a close shave. I like the smell and how smooth it leaves my skin.

Shave Cream

I bought this instead of my regular Skintimate and it did what it was supposed to do. This can also lasted me about 9 months. But I did go back to my regular because I just really like the way the shave gel sticks to my skin. But I would buy this again if I was on a budget.

LOVE IT!

This is a great shave cream. It leaves your skin feeling super smooth and soft. And it's very affordable for the size can you get (I paid $1.99 at CVS). I L-O-V-E the Raspberry scented kind. It's smells sooooooooo good!!!!

WOW

I snuck some of my roommate's dry skin one out of curiosity because she only uses this, and she is on her billionth can, so I wanted to know what all the fuss was about...and I am halfway out the door to buy this. I have been pretty dedicated to edge shave gel, and even though this is liquidy, I didn't know the shaking the can technique yet, and my skin is super duper soft. I have to get this, and...read more if I end up hating it or something, I'll be sure to update this, but as of right now I am really very impressed.

Sweet Scent and Silky Feel

I love this shaving cream! It smells divine, like peaches and apricots and berries. Also, it is thick and protective. I'm very uncoordinated and I get minimal burns and nicks with this thick formula. Also, it leaves my legs feeling really silky like the name suggests. I wish I could find it in a travel size so I could bring it with me when I travel, but other than that it is fantastic.
