I always hear positive reviews about Alba products and so I decided to try out this cream shave since it guaranteed to be "moisturizing" and reduce "risk of nicks, cuts, and irritation". Well after the few times I've used it, I can honestly say it was a disappointment.
First off, it doesn't lather well like other shaving creams or gel. It lathers more like water lotion or conditioner. The creamy...read more lather may just be a personal preference of mine though.
Second, it becomes invisible when you lather it, don't you want to see which part you've shaved when you dab this on?
Third (and most important), it didn't keep my skin from irritation at all! The cream was too greasy (again, like water lotion) and each touch of the razor blade led to irritation. Plus, my skin dried up (so much for protection "against drying of chafing").
I'm never using this product again. My advice? Stick to other shaving creams or gels like Skintimate, Aveeno, or Gillette Satin with Olay (HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS!). They are more reasonably priced, all lather well, leaves skin feeling soft, and won't leave it irritated.
