Great Shaving Cream! I am, going to leave a bunch of artisan Shave Soaps behind
What a great surprise. First of all this cream is MUCH better than the Palmolive shave stick. Not that it smells different or works different it is just so much easier to use and efficient as a cream. Just wet your brush in warm water add about a quarters worth of cream and lather right on the face. Wonderful performance that rivals my most expensive shave creams in my den. My first thought when using this Palmolive Classic Shave Cream was why in the world have I been wasting so much money on artisan soaps??? I am going to be ordering more and probably three tubes at time in the future. I could see myself using this cream every shave and never having a complaint ! What great close shaves it gives. It leaves your skin feeling conditioned and you can use any after shave products you want after it without any scent interference. Excellent ! Palmolive has it all covered nice scent, great lather, great cushion, great slickness and residual slick as well as a nice post shave feel. One reviewer said just use this cream lather it up and let it get out of the way of a great shave... That is exactly what it does. It just works great and gets out of the way for the best shave ever.

Surprisingly good...
Bought this on a lark along with some extra DE blades. Decided to see how well it would work with 2 or 3 days of beard growth and was pleasantly surprised. A small amount (size somewhere between a nickel and quarter) squeezed into my shaving bowl created enough lather for up to 5 passes or more. It worked just as well for me as my favorite products from Proraso and Barbasol.The tube is larger than I expected, more like a small tube of toothpaste than the sample size that I'd imagined. 👍I liked the palm extract smell too: Pleasant, NOT overpowering and reminded me of a nice bar of soap. That adds to the overall feeling of being clean that a man should get from his shave.I find it strange that Amazon is asking me how well this product travels. It's too large to be allowed on a plane in a carry-on bag, due to TSA regulations. You'd think that Amazon would have known that... Also, I don't do much traveling by plane these days. I can't really answer that question.Other than that, I can confidently recommend this product to fellow wet shavers. It feels and smells great while also being *quite* effective. 😊🪒

Surprisingly Good for the Price
Having been a big fan of Proraso Tube Shaving Cream, but not a fan of its price, I decided to give this shaving cream a try and I am pleasantly surprised. I actually find that it lathers better than Proraso and the palm extract is excellent at preventing irritation from shaving. From an ingredients standpoint, they really aren’t bad and shouldn’t be overly irritating to most people, from what I saw on the Yuka app. Take it from me, being in the military shaving everyday, I thoroughly enjoy this shaving cream.

As good as the more expensive brands
I usually buy the Proraso line but I wanted to try a cheaper version. I was satisfied with this cream. It's easy to use with a hand or a shaving brush, the smell is nice enough - not too strong or overpowering - and I got a close shave. I will buy it again to alternate between creams.

Goes on thick, rinces clean.
I have tried many other shaving creams, and all of them were on a spectrum of "meh". This one is a step above, and that is why I order it again and again. It comes out and provides a close shave every time without too much burn. The Palm oil is what the secret to this creme is...it goes on and really grabs the whiskers and washes off without residue.

There’s little more you can ask for
Price is a factor in my rating, for sure. This is the cheapest shaving cream I’ve ever purchased at $3.75. It took 10 days to arrive, but it’s not like I needed it urgently anyways.As a wet shaving hobbyist, I have tons of shaving products from both big companies and small artisans. I haven’t really been buying new products in the past year, and mostly just stick to a handful of simple favorites these days. But I had to snag this at such a low price; even lower than when Nivea shaving cream used to be under $5.Palmolive vastly outperforms Nivea, and is easily on par with the other popular shaving creams like Proraso, Taylor of Old Bond Street, and Musgo Real. You can spend extra money on TOBS if you want more scent variety, maybe Proraso if the price is good and you want some menthol, and Musgo Real is slightly overpriced despite having a slightly superior post shave feel. Palmolive, however, is an excellent happy-medium in terms of scent and performance, while being available at an absolutely ridiculous price. The only cheaper way to shave is with Arko soap. I have yet to try Arko creams, which are absurdly cheap sometimes.Scent is quite subjective, but I find this more agreeable than the old school scents of Proraso and certain Musgo scents, although I do enjoy the fruitier TOBS scents more. It’s a very simple clean and soapy scent, strong enough to enjoy while shaving, but not strong enough to clash with aftershave or cologne that toy may apply afterwards.If you’re not a hobbyist, that means this product is even more geared towards you. Start with the cheapies like Palmolive (at least for now) and Arko. If either of those wins you over, then stock up heavy on it when you find a low price like this.As much as I love my artisan shaving soaps like Stirling, Catie’s Bubbles, and Barrister & Mann... a shaving cream like this is really all you need.
