Has anyone on here tried the Bert's bees shave cream? I found it at my local cvs and decided to pick it up for about $8. I haven't shaved with it yet hopefully in the morning!

Try it out for sure. The Targ store here carrys a bunch of Burt's bees, but I havn't seen the shave soap.
I had never seen it either it's just habit now to look at shaving supplies in any store I'm in I just recognized the brand and know their other products are decent quality
Ya I do the same thing. I sneak a look at the shaving stuff, 'just in case'. haha
It's fun to walk right past the section of over priced bagged disposables!Quote:

Loved the smell but I could never get it to lather.
Tried and after one shave gave it the Swiss Miss who tried it and now it sets on a shelf with other rejected soaps/creams.
Save your money.

You are right it's the worst product ever for making a lather, but I will put my reputation on the line and say this is one of the best pre shave creams you can use, what I do is my usual prep hot water wash I then rub this into my whiskers then face lather my shaving soap over the top brilliant.
I'm with celticcrusader, Burts Bees, Cremo and Kiss My Face are the best pre shave creams around. On their own I would shave a dog with them, but as a base for a good lather they can't be beat. Even works well with my cold water shaving.
I haven't used this one in particular but have used quite a few like it. They're aren't designed to make a lather. They're designed to just be smeared on your face. My guess is that this one is the same. Just out some on yer finger tips and rub it into your beard, then shave away. Never thought about using it as a pre-shave. But I'll give it a go next time.
No idea how the cream works but the shave soap makes a great bath soap. :)
