I used Trader Joe's shave cream today and got a BBS shave. I usually use kiss my face and put on a pre-shave oil after I get out of the shower. I heat up water in a shave and brush scuttle. this time I didn't I went rightr for the shave with out any prep. I had to reaply maybe 2-3x's This stuff works pretty good although I still have a thing for the hot lather

I love Trader Joe's but never thought to look at their shave products. Think I am spoiled by Cella, RazoRock, etc. Lol
Thanks for review

Just FYI for those that don't know: the TJ's products are BRUSHLESS, and if used with a brush will gunk it up pretty badly, so beware. Other than that (and the lack of lather) they're not bad products, though.

I have yet to try Cella. I have some samples of shave cream from T&H I still need to try,but will definately try Cella. Thanks

Strictly on a scent basis, a mix of honey and mango scents does not seem like it is a marriage made in heaven. Lotta sweet in that mix when I try and imagine it.

It is, but this stuff is slick and will do in a pinch if you don't have a lot of time to shave.

I used to use it in a superlather with Williams, and even by itself with a brush. One can get a passable lather with it, but obviously, it works better when used as directed. However, "better" is a relative term. After we used up the tube (yes, my wife used it too), I never felt compelled to buy it again. It really is a case where there's so much better stuff out there that it's not worth messing with. Hell get some Kiss My Face.. 500% better.

Tried it for the first time today. Thought of trying to get a lather out of it, but then relied on the posts saying to just use it as directed, plus that it would just grease up my brush. The result was a very slick surface to shave on, washed and re-applied it for a second pass, and for what it is, I got a very nice, moist shave. Nice scent that fades away quickly, leaving a clean pallete for aftershaves, etc. Will definitely grab it when traveling. But will try others.
