Thread: stupid question about creams, or not?

It is possible that some things on the market sold as “shaving creams” may be designed more as a soothing aftershave sort of product, what we generally refer to as balms. Or, perhaps, even chemical hair removers. Anything is possible if you don’t know for sure. Bear in mind, they call the aerosol cans of dry foamy goop “shaving cream.” This is where being able to understand what the package says comes in handy, or finding someone with some knowledge of the particular product. Unfortunately, I am unable to help with either, but I would advise a certain degree of caution until you know what the product is supposed to do. Then give it a try and write a review. Unless, of course, it is a chemical hair remover, then I might recommend keeping it far, far away from your face and even farther away from your brush.

At any rate, the decision to order a well known shaving cream or two seems wise, especially if you do write a review of the products you found locally. It is always good to give yourself a baseline benchmark.
