Thread: BURT'S BEE'S

I don't know how many of you soap fellows care that much, but a while back i was trying to purchase some of this mug soap from a couple of the Burts Bee's dealers here in Utah. I was told that it was discontinued and gave up on the quest since one lady who sold it told me that she even called them directly and asked for some and was unable too. Well i just happened to stop by thier web site and saw that they had it listed. I ordered a few pucks. SOOOO i don't know if it was actually unavalible, but i thought i might pass along that is avalible now.

fyi.

Thats great thanks for the info.!!!

I think I made a mistake today when I bought the Burt's Bees shave cream. It seems more like lotion that my wife would use than shaving cream. I tried to lather it up, and I just got a slimy coating on my bowl and brush. I guess I'll try it in the morning, and see what happens.

I've tried the Burt's Bees aftershave lotion. Too greasy and it smells a little like booty.

Shouldn't this be moved to the reviews section? The most concise review I've read in a while.

It was just slimy, almost sticky, goo. It was so bad that it has already been returned. The only good thing about it was that I appreciate my Proraso even more now.

The BB shave cream is not to be used with water. It is more of a burma shave type of thing, orsort of like shave gel which doesn't foam. I had a tube and gave it to a buddy of mine who used it to shave his head....he really liked it for that use.

The shave balm is kinda greasy, but does well in the winter months. Burt's Bees has reformulated some of their stuff to me more manly, and the new stuff is pretty good, just not the shave cream. I wish it was like proraso, but it isn't.

Wish I read the reviews before I purchased this stuff. It was the only shave cream at the drug store when I was out looking for a shave cream, got home and tried to lather it up. A slimy watery mess is all you get. If you rub it on with your hand you can at least get some on your face. I was in a hurry so just use a march 3 razor and it worked good for that. I was not in the mood to try it with my straight, may be able to do it but I am too much of a rookie to try it myself. Don't waste you money.

Yeah Crom, not very good reviews about this one. I am surprised the this was the only shaving cream they had, you mean without the can, right? The funny thing is that some of Burt's Bee's products are great... ;-)

Al raz.

You are right they had the standard full shelf of the can stuff. I live in a small upstate ny town, you are lucky to find any soaps or creams. I have read more about shaving in the last 2 weeks than I have in 40 years. It strange how such a boring (so call chore) has gotten me so interested. I love this web site btw. I have log in every day for the last 2 weeks since I have started straight razor shaving. I hope to get this down pat in the next few weeks. It hard to remember being a rookie at shaving when I have been doing it for over 30 years.
