Thread: Shave cream

I'm wanting to start adding a bit of shave cream to my normal lather of shave soap. Have found a place (not on the internet, cause I don't want to wait/pay for shipping) that sells The Art of Shaving products: shave cream, pre-shave, and after shave, all in various scents. Any opinion on their shave cream and/or pre-shave oil? Also would be thankful for any advice on finding an alum bar from a real-world brick-and-mortar store.

I've used both and think both are very good. Some people find the pre shave oil to be too thick. I like it, personally.

You can get an alum stick at CVS or Walgreens. Not sure if they sell the blocks though. No opinion on AOS stuff. Never tried any of it.

I use the AOS Unscented products and like them a lot. Oil is a love or hate thing for most people. I personally get a better shave using it. If you're interested in AOS get a starter kit that when I bought included a coupon for full price of starter kit to I used towards full size kit
