Best I've found. It just takes a little. Add water to your face to make the lather against your stubble. Use a safety razor. Perfection. In a rush, you can wipe the foam off with a towel and keep some of the moisturizing properties and a nice after-shave smell. I like how economical and low-tech the packaging is. Superb for transitioning to a travel kit on the fly. Read more

It is good to have the option for a shave from a tube. And this one is a really solid option. The quality of the shave is excellent. It can be applied by hand or using a brush. Lathers well. Smells good. Comfortable on even more sensitive skin. Have used this for years - and then had some difficulty finding it. It seemed to completely disappear form the American market. Was able to find an Eastern European release. I think this one may be a re-release into US - with a slight change in formula? I preferred the older scent a bit more, but the current scent is fine. Absolutely recommended. This could become your daily. Read more

I started using the original "Florena" by Biersdorf after a trip to Germany. The absolutely best stuff, and e2.00 in any drugstore in Germany. Then Nivea bought Beirsdorf, halved the ingredients list (probably took out the most expensive botanicals), and slapped Nivea on it in huge letters (and removed "Florena"). It is still a great shave cream, but not as good as the original Florena by Biersdorf. With the Nivea purchase, it became available in Canada widely, i.e. at Shoppers Drug Mart for Cdn$2. For some reason, Nivea will not bring this to the US! Only available in the US on Amazon and a few other online retailers like Naturitas. I previously bought this tube on Amazon for $3.99. Now its $9.99? WTF? That's not Amazon, that's "Overseas Market". Oh well. Until COVID is over and I can get to Canada (or Germany), this is it. Tip: I always have at least 2 tubes on the go. I take the tube down to 1/2 or 1/3rd and put it in my dop kit for travel. At 100ml it is TSA approved for travel, but 100ml would last months. A third of a tube is lighter, smaller, and will still last many weeks. With COVID restricting travel, I have about four half-tubes waiting for travel to resume. Note: minus one star for the recent dramatic price increase. Twice foreign retail was OK for an imported premium product delivered to your door but 5x retail? Seems like robbery. Read more

Best travel shaving cream you can buy. This is a German product, and the Europeans really know their toiletries. Stuff in the US is over-foamy, loaded with fragrance and marketing nonsense. This is simply a great, slick, smooth, moisturizing shave cream that lathers better than most I’ve tried. You only need a very small amount. I imagine this bottle will last me at least 6 months of shaving every other day. Read more

My routine: hot water, washcloth, apply to face a few seconds. no more than a quarter inch of this shave cream. don't try for foam, just apply with both hands to face. shave one side, shave the other, shave chin and around lips. smoothest shave ever, no nicks or burns. I don't understand buying four tubes at once. One tube will last at least six months if not longer. I'm wondering what the minimum amount of the shaving cream would be to be effective. I've used all kinds and this is the best. Read more

This is hard to judge. My tube came looking like someone had mangled it so the cap is a little hard to screw on. It's very thick and have to add a lot of water to get it to spread well. However it is very slick when gives a really nice shave without much razorburn. It is so thick, that even when lathered and used sparingly, it doesn't rinse out of the razor real well. You can manage it, but there are better products out there. Scent intensity is a little on the strong side for me, but no worse than most other creams. If you get razor burn easily, it is really, really good in that regard, so might be worth overlooking it's other flaws. Read more

Some of the best shaving cream i've ever used. I have very sensitive skin. I'm using it with the Leaf 3 blade razor. This is great. Will buy again. Read more
