Review of Barc Shave Cream: Cutting Up (Skin Saving)
Writing for a shaving blog, I get to sample many kinds of shaving creams, some not so good (which I don't tend to give any reviews for) and some that are very good indeed. The hard thing about it is that I need to give them a fair chance, which means using them more than once, and when I do, I'm not using the brands that I really love (like Speick and Cremo and Jack Black).
But... Variety is good, right?
This week, I've been trying out Barc Shave Cream, which has an interesting name for something you don't want to think about when shaving: Cutting Up.
The cream is very thick (which I like), and has no scent whatsoever (which is great for men with sensitive skin). One of the ingredients is Boswellia serrata (Indian Frankincense), which has been used for healthy skin throughout history, as well as being used for arthritis treatment (not sure it will help you in a shaving cream, though).
I liked the quality of the shave I got with Barc, and my Merkur razor glided easily over my face, leaving a close, smooth shave.
I followed it up with Barc Bump Down Razor Bump Relief, which was thick and rich and gave me a tingly sensation right after using it (but it is alcohol free).
"Bump Down is an alcohol-free razor bump repair treatment formulated with glycolic acid and triclosan to help reduce unsightly ingrown hairs and reduce irritation from shaving. Also enriched with chamomile extract and glycerin to calm the skin and leave you hydrated."
My skin was happy with the Barc products, and I believe I'll keep them in my cabinet to use again and again.
