Barbasol 1919 Classic Shaving Cream | Non-Aerosol Shave Cream for Men | Infused With Aloe, Coconut Oil, Shea Butter | Exceptional Glide | Made in the USA, 6 OZ (Pack of 1)

This is ultimately the best "non-foaming" shaving cream on the market, compared against canned stuff and other similar shaving creams. I'm not comparing it against shave soap because it's ultimately not in the same ballpark. This is a quick and easy solution, whereas shave soap requires preparation and some practice. Comparing this to Cremo is like comparing a Crown Vic to a Kia Soul. Cremo lacks the slickness this has, as well as the texture that allows it to spread easily. This is easily the slickest shaving product I have encountered, rivaling pre shave oils by a high degree. It doesn't require a lot of the product for application, but I tend to use more than is necessary. It absolutely requires water to be effective, which seems rather obvious, but the role of water is more vital than you'd think. I recommend applying a dolop to your palm, running your hand under the tap to saturate it, and then starting on the face to build up a lather. If it doesn't spread quite right, wet your palm and continue to lather. It doesn't build up to a foam, instead it leaves a white sheen that's incredibly slick. It seems to soften my coarser hair, which I do like. This whole process is about thirty seconds or so. The smell here is unmistakable as classic barbasol. It's very nice, and seems almost upscaled here. They make an aftershave in the same line that has the same scent from what I hear. I use a Rockwell 6s razor, usually using the 3 or 4 setting. I use Bic Chrome Platinum, Russian Astra Greens, and sometimes Feather blades. This product really helps the blades to slide across the surface of the skin, and catch hairs without issue. Overall, I truly think this is a fantastic shaving cream. You're far better off using this over canned shaving cream, as well as those jars of shaving cream you'll find out there. It's fast, and it does a great job, and on days I don't have the time to use shave soap I'm happy with the results here. It's much better than Cremo, in my opinion anyway, though Cremo does also have fantastic offerings other than their shaving cream. Pretty great!

Excellent Shave cream! If you want to use a non-Frilly smelly shave cream, this is ideal. Allows a smooth, clean shave without smelling like Perfume, like some other shave creams. I use an old school Safety Razor (Wilkinson Sword) and it shaves like a dream with it. Highly recommended.

this is a great shave cream. It doesn't really lather at all but it is super lubricating and gives me a great shave. Not my favorite scent but not bad either. Too had it's so hard to find in stores.

This is a brushless shaving cream that you apply with your fingertips. If you prefer to use a brush, I suggest using one of the whipped creams like Van Der Hagen or Cremo. This cream is very slick and concentrated which makes for a smooth nick free shave whether your using a cartridge razor or a safety razor ( I alternate between a Cremo cartridge and a Wilkerson Sword DE razor). A sticky residue does stay on your hands once you apply it which means you need to rinse your hands before you start shaving otherwise the handle becomes slippery. It also clogges the razor pretty easily. Hense the 4 star rating. I usually rinse the shaver between strokes like you would normally to clear any debris. It's a fragrant smell without being to overpowering. Shea butter, lanolin etc I don't know about the 'classic barber shop smell.' When I was a kid they used to take me and my brother to the barber college for hair cuts while my father got a shave. Everything smelled like Witch-Hazel. Enjoy!

My first time trying out Barbasol 1919 and couldn’t be happier. Just a small amount is required and it applies a good slick feeling. It has that nostalgic barber shop smell to it that’s nice and shaving has been smooth. No nicks…just a great shave. I was looking for a replacement to Cremo because that is not the same product that it used to be and I was getting more nicks and skin irritation than I used to. Barbasol 1919 is definitely slicker and less irritating and a great shaving cream! This is going to be my regular shave cream here on out.

PRO - Made in the USA. - Tube is recyclable and product is cruelty-free. This should appeal to the environmental types. - I needed only 2 passes over my face to achieve the baby-butt smooth shave, as opposed to the usual 3 pass method. (With the grain, from the sides and then against the grain.) That surprised me. - I needed only a nickel-sized amount to cover my face for each pass. The directions didn't lie about that one. - ZERO irritation. And I mean ZERO. It's almost as if I didn't just drag a sharp razor blade across my face removing the whiskers and at least some of my outermost epidermal layer. This was actually quite impressive. - I didn't need to go over the 'trouble spots' on my neck like I normally do with all other shaving products I've used in life. Wow! - Pleasing scent that reminds me of Lemon or some other citrus fruit. - Would be a MUCH better product to take with you on long airplane flights or camping trips than an aerosol can. The pressure inside of an airplane isn't going to affect a plastic tube that you squeeze to extract the product. CON - Using a shaving brush didn't work well FOR ME. Best to use your fingers to work it into your skin. - Tends to gunk up my safety razor to a point where simply rinsing it under the faucet in the sink doesn't work 100%. I needed to take the razor apart and rinse off each individual piece, including the blade, when I was finished. That may not be such a good idea for guys with butterfingers to be handling a DE blade while they have wet hands. (Mine were dry while doing this, BTW.) This won't be an issue if you use a straight razor. I don't even want to know how guys still using Cartridge Razors would clean up after they're done. EDIT: (5 July 2021) A quick rinse doesn't clean off the razor, but holding it under the sink for a few moments usually does. - Costs considerably more than the foam in a can does. $6.99, to be exact. The foam cans cost me $1.47 for the 10 oz. variety at Wal-Mart and $1.00 for the 5oz. at Dollar Tree. However, the price for this cream is competitive with similar products from other manufacturers. - No 'audio feedback' when shaving the whiskers off of my face. Not hearing them get shaved off was a little strange. I got used to the ASMR-like sound the razor made when cleaving/removing the whiskers with the foam. That's how I knew I was getting results after that initial pass removed most of them that were clearly visible in the mirror. Not sure if this is really bad, but it does require some adjustment on my part. FINAL JUDGMENT Barbasol has a real winner here. I think I'll use this for those trouble spots on my neck while using the foam for everything else, including the (almost) everyday shaves. I do feel like I can confidently recommend this product to other men.

Have not been happy for years with most shaving creams on the market. I saw this and recognized the brand from years ago. By far and away it’s the best and easiest shave I had in years. It’s thick, coats easily, and leaves my skin soft. Highly recommend. And for an added bonus it’s very inexpensive.

Good price !
