    Default Burts bee's

    Out of curiosity, has anyone tried Birts bee's shaving cream? I saw some at the local store. I might pick up some. Someone please chime in if they have tried it.

    Do not. It is a brushless cream and does not give you the required glide. Having used it myself that is my experience. YMMV.

    OK-Don't get it. The best thing I can say about it is it smells pleasant. It makes a very weak lather that dries very fast.

    It's been discontinued recently. I also did not like the lather, but it makes a very nice pre-shave face wash to soften whiskers. I've even read that one guy on these forums uses it as an aftershave balm.

    I'll use up my tube sooner or later, but wouldn't buy it again.

    If you have some of the shave cream you can use it with other soaps to made a pretty good lather,but the lather will come from whatever soap your using. Add an almond sized dollop to soap lather your building in a bowl or scuttle.

    I also tried the Burts Bees shaving cream and did not enjoy it. I ended up just putting a bit of it in with my soap for a good smell!!

    I have tried a number of BB's products and, after the last one failed to work well for me, I will not order or buy any more. It's like they don't do any in depth research, aka the shave products, to find out what the target customers need or want. Also, much like Ben and Jerry's, BB's is not owned or controlled by the name sake, as they sold the Company a few years ago.
