Thread: Kiehl's Lite Flite Shave Cream

Since I have found any threads about this stuff, I thought I would start one.

Kiehls lite flite shave cream is the best that I have found so far (given that I have only tried Florena and Nomad (Neutrogena and some other cheap mass market stuff)).

It froaths up nice and quickly, dries out slowly, glides smoothly and cleans up nicely. Depending on whether or not you think it is a good thing, it doesn't have a strong smell. Oh and it has this crazy cooling camphory type effect.

Their homepage says that they don't ship outside of the US, but I was just at their store in Toronto yesterday, so who knows what could be possible for the rest of us Canadians.

Let me know what you guys think

I've used Kiehl's "Brushless Creams" in a tube for many years...the blue tube contains a few ingredients to numb out the Mach3 irritation, but overall, liked them well enough. In the two months I've been shaving with a brush, I've tried a few creams & soaps, including the "Lite Flite." My impressions thus far:

Positive: Lathers well, small amount needed even to make enough lather for 2+ passes (I use a Shavemac 220 brush); appears to protect me from irritation & burn, so I use it especially if I'm coming off a less-than-good shave (read "Nick & Burn City"!) the day before

Negatives (for me at least): Very light scent, mainly of campor, menthol, with a touch of lavender (which is a preference issue, not a quality one, and since I've tried many of the trad scented soaps & creams, the novelty of a well-fragranced product is desirable at this point)

So, overall, I'm pleased with Kiehls' Lite Flite, but seek the slightly more exotic in this honeymoon phase of traditional shaving.

I have a twice used tub of the Kiehl's lather cream, if anyone is interested in purchasing. I agree with the original poster that it is a fine cream... I have just have TOO many creams/soaps... gotta cut down inventory.

It retails for $16.50, I would sell for $15 shipped to lower 48 (contact me if outside of these boundaries).

I will be out of town the rest of this week, and will likely not be able to respond to posts until Saturday or Sunday... unless you post something here by 11:00 central time today, in which case I may be able to respond.

thanks
Andrew
