Review: American Crew Shave Cream
I received some American Crew shaving goodies last week, and I've been giving them some good usage in my shaving routine since then. The first thing I picked out to use was the Moisturizing Shave Cream (first things first, eh?), so let's start with that.
My initial reaction to the American Crew Shave Cream was that I felt it was too thin and wouldn't work well for me. My second reaction was, "Man, that smells good!" So I put it through its paces, shaving with one day's growth, and then again after about 4 days of growth just to compare.
It turns out I was completely wrong about it being too thin. The cream went on easily and stayed on my whiskers without having to use very much at all. The shave itself was smooth and easy, regardless of the length of my beard, and my skin felt moisturized afterward. The herbal scent is potent yet light and refreshing, without seeming perfume-y (is that a word?).
American Crew Moisturizing Shave Cream has aloe, almond, and avocado oil for moisturizing; clove, eucalyptus, and peppermint oil for antiseptic effects; and a blend of herbal extracts to heal and soothe the skin.
"Conditioning formula with powerful antioxidants ensures razor glide without drying skin. Soothing aloe and healing avocado oil provide maximum protection for dry or sensitive skin. Moisturizing Shave Cream is also recommended for skin that requires extra hydration and those that want to see exactly where they've shaved."
If you haven't had the pleasure of using any of the American Crew line, I think you'll be very happy with the shave cream. I definitely recommend it.
[Update: Ask for it exclusively at professional salons, as product at other outlets may not be genuine. Try the Salon Locater.]
