MenScience Advanced Shave Formula, 165ml

Excellent product. It makes shaving less of a chore, and it does such a great job of protecting my skin where I have no redness or burning. I can't go back to the foam/gel from the supermarkets.

Relatively small amount needed. I use the comb function of my electric shaver to reduce the chance of ingrown hairs, a big problem for me. This product has almost eliminated the problem entirely.

This stuff is great! Suddenly I can shave every day instead of every second at most, and my skin doesn't feel scraped and dry afterwards - my after-shave balm is going to last forever, now that I'm shaving with this stuff.

I use a straight-razor, so I actually like the lack of foam that comes with a brushless cream/gel like this. It makes it much easier to see exactly what needs removing next, and what I just missed.

The only downside is that it doesn't _stay_ wet as long as I'd like, but I'm putting that down partly to the fact that I have very thick beard growth, and it simply takes a long time to shave it all.

I have been trying different shaving creams/ foams and gels and after using many other Menscience products, decided to give this a go. I was very pleased from the first use. I only use a Gillette shaver, but this shave formula makes shaving easier and leaves my skin feeling really well moisturised. I can even go over some areas more than once without having to re-apply. I have tough facial hair and sensitive skin, but i no longer have any shaving rash or redness after shaving. This product is a real winner!

I bought a tube of this and liked it so much I thought I'd do a follow up review. My original verdict stands - the shave is not quite as close as a cream & brush but as a daily go-to and/or a travel cream, it's great! I'm only shaving every 2nd day at present which is why I probably notice the slightly worse result than my normal routine, but if you used it daily this probably isn't a concern. Going by the ingredients and blurb it also seems like a more natural concoction so its effectiveness is a pleasant surprise. But as a travel companion it's a perfect option. I recently spent a few days at a mate's place down the coast so I gave it a proper test and it passed with flying colours. If you only stay in luxury accommodation then a traditional cream and brush is an option but most of my travel seems to be characterised by time pressures and cramped bathrooms where shaving is a chore rather than a pleasure. My mate installed me in his new downstairs guest room but the bathroom was tiny - the basin had virtually no surround bench space for cream, brush, bowl etc. He was also yelling at me to hurry up so we could get to the RSL for a cheap steak ... anyway, the ease, speed and effectiveness of this product are great and will now be my go-to travel option. That's just saved me a motza by not having to buy a Simpson's The Major travel brush. A damn good product. BTW, the grub at the Rissole was pretty good too ...
