Alba Botanica Moisturizing Shave Cream : Just Clean Shavin'

One recent morning while shaving in the shower with my new Alba Botanica Shave Cream it occurred to me that the hallmark of a great drummer is the same as that of a great shave cream...they go unnoticed while doing their thing. They're also immediately missed when they're gone.

My wife and I like to avoid clutter on the bathroom shelves so where possible we look for products we can share. Alba Botanica Moisturizing shave cream is one of those products. We tested the unscented version, and love that it's as close to being fragrance free as a body product can be.  

Equally, if not more important than the smell (or, in our case, the lack thereof) is how it performs as a shave cream. This stuff has a relatively thick consistency. It doesn't lather much, so it doesn't have that foamy shaving cream look when applied but it makes a good slippery layer for smooth shaving.  

I like that I can quickly rinse out of my razor between passes.   Then when the shave is done it only takes a couple of splashes to rinse off of my face. I really like that my new shave cream leaves nothing behind except smooth skin.  

Alba Botanica offers a full line of bath and body products.   In addition to unscented, the Moisturizing Cream Shave is also available in Aloe Mint, Coconut Lime, and Mango Vanilla.   Also, the Alba Botanica web site has a cool glossary for people like me who may not know that isopropyl palmitate is a palm oil-based skin conditioner and emollient.     

Eco Creds: natural ingredients; no animal testing; 100% vegetarian (but don't eat it); paraben free; made in the USA; EU Cosmetics Directive Compliant.

Bottom Line: Natural ingredients, ease of use, and great results make this a product a keeper.--A.S. (Oct 09)
