    Default Your vote for worst cream ever?

    My vote goes for Neutrogena Shave Cream. It might make a replacement for lard in cooking if it wasn't so funny-smelling. Truly awful stuff.

    This stuff is pretty good if you like a lavender / menthol shave cream for the brush that doesn't work at all with a brush, doesn't smell like lavender, or isn't in the slightest way cooling.
    You'd probably be about as well off shaving with Crisco as with this stuff.
    Which is to say that shaving with it can be done, but it was a completely joyless exercise.

    This is the only shave cream I ever tossed in the trash.

    TOBS "Sensitive Skin" in the tan tub. The guy who gave it to me wouldn't take it back so I tossed the cream and kept the tub.

    L'Occitane Cade shaving cream. Great scent, no lather.

    Colgate shaving cream, back in high school. I'm unable to forget the two bad shaves.

    I like it, but only as one part of a super-lather. It's slick but needs pretty aggressive help to lather.

    Neutrogena's creams are great, they just aren't made for traditional wet shaving guy. If you have a problem with ingrown hairs or razor bumps, give their skin clearing cream a shot for a few days.

    Yes, this is a horrible cream. I got it as a gift and could not believe how bad it was.

    NEver had the misfortune of using a horrid shave cream, the only one I've disliked was RSC and that was just the scent, the performance was good.

    Shea Moisture Shave Cream. OK, it doesn't lather, but it smells of rancid coconut oil.

    Vitos. I acquired a cut from a member overseas. I think it must have spoiled as it smelled rancid. Yech! Tossed it.

    You should try the new formulation, still great scent, and great lather.... Tons of stable, thick lather.
