Does any other bloke out there get items bought for them by their partner that are not really for you but for them? Well, this can of shave foam falls into that category. It's a while since I used shaving foam; a lot of the time, with only a light beard growth, I just lather up well with ordinary tablet soap and that provides sufficient soapy lubricant to get the job done to a reasonable standard. Anyway, my wife decided that she needed some shave foam to do her legs in the bath and because at the time, I didn't have any shave foam in the cupboard, she decided she would buy me some with the weekly shop so that she could 'borrow' it. I wouldn't have ...  Read the complete review

When I started shaving, many moons ago, I remember being quite excited as it felt new and of course a tell tale sign that I was growing up and becoming a man. It became apparent quite quickly that I have very sensitive skin and I was noticing that after shaving that I was continually getting shaving rash and very angry looking skin.

When I choose a shaving foam I prefer to buy a brand that is fairly reputable without having to spend a lot of money if possible and Palmolive is ideal as they are a relatively well known brand but at the same time their product does not cost the earth. A 200ml can of their sensitive shaving foam is currently priced at 78 pence on the Tesco website which is I feel extremely brilliant value and you can find it for around the same price mark in stores like Wilkinsons. I very much like this product, it is easy to dispense from the can and even if you shave every day one of these would last you at least a month which is fantastic for the price. I like the ...  Read the complete review
