Advantages: Long lasting, smooth foam and not drying to skin

Disadvantages: None for me

Having been through practically every available shaving gel/foam/cream on the market in trying to find one that won't dry my skin out, it is somewhat of a relief to find this product. The first thing that drew me to it was the price. It was on a special offer so I paid about £1.60 for it - it usually sells at about £2.50 - and of course having the Boots points does make it a very tempting offer. I thought, as a one-off, it would be a bargain as if I didn't use it often, at least I got the points and it didn't cost the earth.

I was pleasantly surprised. The packaging is simplistic, but then it doesn't have to be fashionable really. It features a pair of smooth legs and clear wording showing what it is, what it does and how to use it. On the back, interestingly, it does say to use a moisturiser as well - I don't recall seeing that on another can. I think it would look good in any bathroom because of the simplicity of the design.

You get 200ml of gel in the can, and when you squeeze a small amount into your wet palm (and you really don't need a lot) and lather it up, you get a nicely fragranced amount of foam. It spreads well over wet skin, and doesn't vanish as some foams do. It also doesn't clog the razor, rinses easily and it smells lovely too. Soft and not too pervasive, and it lingers ever so gently on your skin afterwards - it won't, however, interfere with any scented body lotion or perfume you wear. It's lovely.

It's a product that people will buy. I would definitely buy this shaving gel over the major brands because of how nice my legs felt after shaving. I didn't really need to apply moisturiser as they were quite soft. A bonus. I've only started using this can recently, but I can see it lasting for quite a long time. Bargain. And with the Boots points and frequent offers too, it makes it something I will definitely buy again.

Summary: Shaving gel that works for me
