Horrible Shaving Cream, Travel Sized

Comments about Sea To Summit Trek and Travel Shaving Cream - 3 fl. oz.:

I used this lathering up with a shaving brush. Ouch! It left my skin irritated and the amount you have to shave with is the same as any other shaving cream out there. It barely protected my skin. Even Travel Sized Gillette or Barbasol shaving cream in a pressurized can is better than this, and they're pretty bad.

Maybe it's trying to merge after shave into shaving cream, I don't know.

Comments about Sea To Summit Trek and Travel Shaving Cream - 3 fl. oz.:

I bought this for a trip where toiletries needed to be biodegradable. Unfortunately, every time I used this product to shave, my face stung for an hour afterwards. Even aloe vera gel didn't help. I gave up and shaved with only water for the second half of my trip and that was much better. Maybe I have discovered I have sensitive skin or an ingredient in the cream had a reaction with me. Try before you go!

Comments about Sea To Summit Trek and Travel Shaving Cream - 3 fl. oz.:

I ran out of my usual shaving cream and tried this shaving cream from my travel kit. If you are looking for the same kind of foam as for a can, you need to look else where.

It was a little harsh because it produces a thin layer of foam on your beard.

I did get a good shave, but it was not as comfortable as my regular shaving cream from a can.

Comments about Sea To Summit Trek and Travel Shaving Cream - 3 fl. oz.:

I've been shaving on a daily basis for several decades. During the last several years I've used a double-sided razor (aka safety razor). For the safety razor I've tried several types of oils, soaps, creams and brands with varying results, but none perform as poorly as this 'cream'. The compound acts like soap, which results in the razor catching, then slipping, over and over. I've tried up to a heaping quarter-size amount of the cream with poor results each time. I actually get better results using only water than with this compound. I do live in an area with hard, mineralized water so you may get better results with soft or treated water, but would you have that while camping? As for cost, with the amount I needed to get a lather I expect this compound to last maybe a month. REI asks that we not include pricing info, so I won't cover my pricing analysis except to say that over 4 months of use it would cost several cents more per use than my top-brand shaving cream.

Ingredients: Water, Lauric Acid, Stearic Acid, Glycerin, Potassium Hydroxide, Propylene Glycol, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, C12-13 Alkyl Lactate, Hydroxyethyl Cellulose, Fragrance, DMDM Hydantoin, Menthol, Cl 19140, Cl 14700

Comments about Sea To Summit Trek and Travel Shaving Cream - 3 fl. oz.:

In the past I tried using Camp Suds as a travel shaving cream but it didn't lather well. While this product is really only for shaving it produces much better lubrication with only a small amount needed per day. It does leave a mild irritation afterward but that goes away within ten minutes.

Comments about Sea To Summit Trek and Travel Shaving Cream - 3 fl. oz.:

I feel I get a good shave with this product. I like the TSA 3oz size. My only complaint is it leaves a slight burn/tingle, but I don't have any lasting irritation. It has a refreshing minty aroma.

Shaving lotion is a little different from a gel or foam, so I use it a little differently. I fill the sink or a cup so I can shake the razor clean. I rinse the razor, and do not shake the excess water off. In dry climates, I may re-wet my face.
