I had a tube of Burt’s Bees shaving cream. It lubricated well and provided a decent enough shave, but the aroma was, well, meh.

It was convenient to apply, but did not provide as satisfying a shaving experience as any of my shave soaps and croaps and got tossed out as a result.

If someone wants to get into wet shaving without the expense of a tier 1 or 2 soap and a decent brush, I think this cream could be a good entry point.

In my experience, this cream and others I have tried, tend to clog a DE to the point that you have to loosen the head in order to flush the gunk off the blade edge. That’s not as big a problem with a straight.
