Thread: Shaving Creams

I am running out of my C. O. Bigelow and I really like the cooling sensation it gives but I'm not a fan of the smell. I am looking for a new shaving cream with similar properties and I came across this,Taconic Shave's Eucalyptus Mint Shave Cream. Had anyone used this? Any feedback? What are some other shaving creams with a nice cooling effect to them?

Try the Real Shaving Company. Made in England an Available at Rite Aid or online.

It's not a cream but recently I tried some soap that is colder than CO Bigelow cream, Yeti Snot shaving soap (menthol and peppermint) from the Shaving Yeti. The cooling sensation is extreme like.....well, think about what it would feel like to fall face first in a snow drift and stay there for 10 minutes.........

I tried it two ways, straight from the puck which was cold enough but warmed up in a scuttle it made my nose run and my eyes water. I know it doesn't make any sense heating up something that is cooling but I had to try it.

LEA Classic shave cream has a decent hint of menthol and a very nice scent.

Kiehl's Lite Flight shaving cream has the cooling effect with out as strong a menthol smell. I prefer Proraso / CO Bigelow (like the scent) but the Kiehl's product lathers and protects well.

ToB peppermint
