Creamo Shave Cream

[Steve]

Does anybody know anything about Creamo Shave Cream? I saw some at Walmart today. Does it perform well? What kind of scent does it have?

Thanks,
Steve

18. Remarks: Marketed as “The Best”, brushless, and super lubricating. The directions recommend rubbing the product into the whiskers for 30 seconds before shaving. With this product my brushless shave was close, smooth, and well moisturized. The fragrance was mild and pleasant. When I was testing for brush lather I noticed that Cremo tends to respond quite well to the brush, so following the brushless trials, I’m going to give this product a couple of tryouts with a brush and a hot scuttle to see how it shaves through multiple lathering passes.

Hi Murray,

Thanks! I did find out it is a brushless shave cream. Your review says it can be lathered with a brush. Does that mean it will produce an average amount of lather? I like lather.

I didn't recall that detail until I read my review. You should get some and see for yourself. A few years ago I emailed the gent who owns Cremo, and I asked him about a mentholated version. At that time it wasn't under consideration, but just recently I saw a cooling version of Cremo on the shelves. I hope it will be a successful product for them.

Hi Steve -

Gary did the review in question, as well as those of other brushless creams. In my own experience, I found Cremo Cream easier for me to use when lathered with a brush. That isn't what its creators had in mind, so it obviously works well both ways.

Hi Murray,

Sorry i confused you with Gary! So you got a decent lather, using a brush?
