Shave Cream vs Soap vs Canned vs Latherless (Best Options For You!) 

Let's hear it guys! What are some problems you find yourself dealing with when it comes to shaving?

Just a warning: Shaving the traditional way usually ends up more expensive because it then becomes a hobby and you end up with ten safety razors and forty soaps/creams and pre-shave oil and aftershave balms and scuttles, etc. Just saying...

@0:59, seeing how hard that guy is pushing that razor on his face? AAARRRRRGGGGGHHHH!!!!!

I switched to safety razor about 15 years ago and it's like night and day. I highly recommend to throw out the cartridge razor. Having more than one blade really just irritates the skin and you have a more control and comfort with a safety razor in my opinion and a pack of 10 blades is usually less than 2$cdn compared to the pack of 4 cartridges that generally go for 30-40$cdn. Thanks for the video I have been using soap but going to try the cream to see if it's better 😁

are you sponsored by Gillette considering that's the only piece that wasn't covering it's brand? 😂

Thanks for the in depth info. I love doing skincare research for my husband and myself and these types of videos help!

This is such a great video, since you've covered shaving at a high level! Much more views deserved!

i had no idea shaving was this complicated

Thanks Bro! Tipically I watch like 40 vids before making a choice but you sold me in just 1. Also, Thanks for having an easy to use link! I appreciate that!!

I have been using shaving soap and brush for a few years. I got rid of the cartridge razors mainly because of price. I went for a straight razor. No more buying blades. With a good quality soap and a single blade no more skin irritation.

soap or proraso cream when I'm taking my time, gel+brush when I hit snooze too many times

most informative video so far

Excellent video. So much great information. Thank you.

even taping up the names on the products - the brands do a good job of making their containers distinct so even if you cover the name...we know what they are. For instance - that is Proraso in the small white container far left :)

I went back to a 1950's DE safety razor about 15 years ago after trying about everything out there, (I'm 76 now) razor wise. I also completely quit canned lather about 12 years ago. One of my and my son's favorites is the same brand of yours in the blue and white tube. I also like the one in an orange tube with a windmill on it. If I want to get a real close shave, I like the soap and bowl lather an a nice brush for face and heaad.

I was using Gillete and Edge cans and my skin was getting ripped up and felt horrible. I tried some shave cream with a brush and my skin felt great with no irritation!! I will be using that from now on!! I need to get a safety razor but it worked well with my Mach 3

You certainly do not want to use a latherless gel for safety-razor shaving, since you will consume too much gel for a multi--pass shave. Use a soap or good, concentrated traditional shave cream. The slickness and protection will be unmatched. And if you can facelather with a brush, even better. The difference in performance will be day and night.

The “lather-less” product you are referencing will lather up pretty well. It’s not the rich thick lather, but rather a smooth thin lather that doesn’t clog my cartridge razor.

In case you're wondering, his Cooling Shave Cream is made by Cremo

This was a really good video.

Excellent video! Thank you! I use the Gillette Proglide Power cartridge razor with Pacific Shaving Company Clean Shaving Cream. They both work fantastically! And I’ve tried a lot of razors and shave creams, and this is by far the best!

I love the Skintimate vanilla sugar shave gel with my Gillette fusion proglide

Ordered a Merker DE Safety Razor, as well as the Cremo cooing shave cream (sorry to spoil the secret lol) and a sampler of the original cremo shave cream, and got nervous as it was the last one you dove into. Now I’m extra excited to use it all lol. I’ve been using a typical Gillette razor with canned stuff and was looking for a change. Thanks for explaining everything. I haven’t see a video this in depth for shaving yet in my binge watching over the past month lol.

Taylor of Old Bond Street is very recognisable as I have one on my shelf. I also use Proraso red so I am assuming the other is Proraso white.

Thanks, very helpful. I'm 71 years old, in good health and cutting my face everyday. Embarrassing. Using a a single blade disposable razor with Equate Shave Foam. Hopefully this will help. Thanks again.

I agree with the comment, very thorough and informative. A small addition, another reason for the soaps or creme versus the aerosol can would be less packaging waste, as well as the propqollent concerns. Thanks for the video. I’m curious though, what shave creme was made going back to 1888?

Shave Soaps all day everyday or on some occasions if I am really tight on time then it is a a later less shave cream paired with my Safety Razor.

Aveeno shave gel. Proraso sensitive skin shave soap. Taylor of old bond street shave cream. Cremo latherless shave cream.

I find the best product for me, a guy with a coarse beard and sensitive skin, is any kind of latherless shave cream. I have had great results with Pinaud barbershop shave cream and Edge 2 in 1 cream.

For my head i use cremo ,proraso Red and White, Taylor ang Gillette fusion proshield or proglide flexball or gillette skinguard. My head is very smooth. In my videos l use Gillette fusion proshield flexball

1:39 that makes it so much funner when you remember the Scott tennorman episode of south Park. If you know you know.

Nice vid. What if you use a straight razor though what would recommend?

Could u please help me w some advice... I shave my head bald and face every other day .. with a gellete pro the 5 blade and gellete sensitive skin in the can but I cant ever seem to get rid if razor bumps all over my neck... I always shave with the grane of the hair because everytime I shave agaisnt it it breaks out so much..but I wish I could shave with it bc it's so smoother that way ?

What is the reason why you can’t use the pressurized can with the safety razor?

So whats the bigges differnece between the shaving cream and the soap exept the price?

I have just gotten back into wet shaving. I am using the cremo latherless. I am getting irritation on my neck on the sides of the adam's apple. my technique is not flawless. otherwise i have a full beard at about 1/2 inch. if i can shave my neck without irritation then i may shave off the beard of 20 ish years.

Very informative. Ok! Here is my concern. I have a very sensitive skin. Which combo would you suggest?

Is using conditioner or shaving gel better to shave your head guys? Any opinions?

Shave cream was revolutionary for me compared to foam or gel.

I'm in the military and have to shave everyday and I don't have a lot of time to do it. I've been trying for months to find the best and closest with the grain shave that is also very quick. Right now I am using Gillette fusion proshield with power flexball shaft and cremo cooling shave cream and the whole session usually only takes about 3 minutes. I think my setup is just okay, I feel like I can do better (in terms of finding a closer shave that takes just as much time). Any suggestions? Do not suggest shaving against the grain, I won't do it. Thank you.

That Noxzema ad though....loved it lol, good video more in-depth than others and not bias, love my Nivea men shave gel because it’s the only one that’s actually working on my skin. I find the foams just don’t have the slickness that a gel gives.

Nice video, btw.

BTW, the cream is Taylor of Old Bond Street, and the soap is Proraso. The latherless cream is Cremo, and the aerosol can is Garbage!

What is the name of this shaving brush?

Link of products used in this video?

Can you shave with a DE Razor and shave gel?

Wash your face with a moisturizer soap and rinse. Rub on 100 percent Aloe Vera Gel on your face and neck. The best shave you will ever get.

Soap for safety razor. Cream for cartridge razor. I stopped using cans about 5 years ago.

Hey no joke here. I have a very corse beard. And i often use a good hair Conditioner. It soooo smooth and makes my hair soft. Rinses clean AND leaves my skin smooth ans soothed.

What about gillette shaving gel?

Hi, thank you for the info. What about shaving gel? What do you think about it, and how does it really work? How can I direct message you? Thank you. Shawn.

I just bought the Leaf razor, which is a hybrid razor that uses the same blades you load into a traditional safety razor, but has a spring loaded flexible/pivoting head Iike many cartilage razors and also holds up to three blades. Can anyone recommend what type/consistency of shave soap/cream/lotion might be best suited for this system?

I tried t o b s for the first time a few days ago. Stuff like to set my face on fire. But I lather it up on my face. I'm a cartridge razor user but I used a fender blades and they're very far apart. I think the next time I'm going to do it in a cup and try to make me a kind of thinner thinner lather what do you guys think or do you think if it set my face on fire I shouldn't try it again

I'm just growing my first full beard, though I'm almost 38. I'm curious on the best option, aside from the barber, for doing my neck and cheek lines. Also, as an idea for a video, why do they call it a safety razor?

Foam❤❤

Shaving gel is definitely the most comfortable Soap is the most luxurious

canned shave cream and latherless shave cream SQuad!!!

Good material. Presented well. But please, lose the annoying music. It adds nothing to your presentation and distracts from the content.

Very good video! I own all those products. Question: why did you choose to Black-out brand names?

pro tip: most ppl use way too much canned gel product: a quarter size is plenty. A 2-pk of name brand for $7 will last a yr. Its actually a good value.

Are disposable razors ok?

I used Nivea which I hated it made red dots on my skin. I think Brut or Gillette are quite good and you can find in any Walmart.

is it okay to use a soap or cream with brush and bowl to shave with a cartridge razor or I must stick with canned cream/gel?

You should have applied more tape

The static cut is way too loud

I mean barbasol is 2 bucks a can at dollar general. I’ve used it with a Fusion and DE saftey razor. Works just fine😊

"Canned creams are pricier". Um, no. Can of Barbasol costs me $2 and lasts MONTHS.

Shaving oil cheap brilliant shave

I am deaf after the static

Shave soap is too dry for me.

Good video, but he missed on a few things for sure. The first big thing he misses on is his "rule", a shave cream must make your skin supple. I think the more accurate term is slickness. The most important part of a "shave cream" is slickness, and truly that is all that matter. If you are a shower shaver that uses cart razors, you can simply use hair conditioner like OGX, it works perfect. A slick hair conditioner is better than canned "shave cream". The canned "creams" are canned air and chemicals, it's bad. Slickness is all you need....I haved shaved using glycerin bar soap. I have also shaved with coconut oil and it worked fine. You just need slickness, that's it. I am a head and face shaver and I like using the hard soap shave pucks most. Shave soaps in hard puck format like Tabac last a LONG time and work great just by adding water to the lather. In my opinion everyone should be shaving with a safety razor. Cartridge razors are expensive, bad for your skin, and they are TERRIBLE for the environment. Folks, please stop using cartridge razors. At least use a DE safety razor. If you are transitioning from cartridge razors to safety razor I suggest these three razors in order. #1. Henson AL13 mild #2 TWIG safety razor by Leaf #3 Rockwell 6C.

You are so obviously shilling for Gillette, come on man.

Looks like Prorasso Geo F Trumper Cremo

Soap is best for md. Closest shave ever. Just. Normal nivea soap. Wet face first to open pores. Then soap away closest shave ever, bar none.

For God so loved the world he gave his one and only Son so that whoever believes in him will not perish but have everlasting life ✝️

Lol he taped the Taylor of old bond street

Am I the only one who laughed out loud (assuming this is (like me) your first video from him that you’re seeing? It’s called for MEN, and then he starts talking and while I expected him to sound like that, it’s still funny to see a channel with a name that includes “MEN” and hear someone who sounds more like a WOman or a homosexual (to be fair for all intents and purposes they’re the same exact thing IMO) instead of a MAN!! I mean I don’t really care that he’s gay, I was simply pointing out the irony that’s all!!

This guy looks like he hasn't shaved in days.

booooring
