Shaving cream and I will never be friends. I just don't like it. At $3 a pop for the cheapest, and I do mean CHEAP, cream it isn't really that expensive, but it just seems so expensive. Each bottle lasts for only a few weeks, you have to use so much product each time, and the empty bottles create so much waste. There is a better way. For the past ten years, I've used shave cream or gel maybe three or four times. For a while I used Suave conditioner, which does a decent job. Then I discovered Dr. Bronner's Liquid Castile Soap. The late Dr. Bronner claimed that his soap had 18 different uses; well, it has a lot more than that and shaving is only one.
