Advantages: It's a shaving foam which does what it's supposed to.

Disadvantages: Hard to dispense the foam from the can, too expensive.

I have used this shaving a few times. It is pretty standard as shaving foam goes. Gillette have quite a range of shaving foams avaiable, all of which are the same apart from the scent.

It is advertised as 'Skin Balanced with Moisturisers'. Well, to be honest, I cannot tell the difference between this and most other brands of shaving foam. I haven't noticed any particular differences with this product. It has a similar consistancy to others and you are still vunerable to cutting yourself. It's all down to the way in which you shave and the razor you use, not the shaving foam you use.

My one problem with this brand is the dispenser it comes in. It is very hard to actually get the foam out of the can. When you have wet hands, you cannot handle a can very well, so you expect it to be relatively easy to applicate the foam. With the Gillette range, you have to apply significant presure on the button to release the foam. I personally get irritated by this.

My advice would be to use another brand that doesn't cost a great deal. This one costs around £2-£3 per can, which is too much in comparison to what is avaiable. If you wish to use a foam (not a decent product like the King of Shaves range), I suggest you buy a 'home' brand from your supermarket. They all work as well as each other.
