Advantages: Goes a long way

Disadvantages: No particularly cheap.

I first received this particular brand of shaving gel as part of a gift pack for Christmas coming bundled with an after shave moisturiser. For years I had used the cheap and cheerful shops own brands believing them to be very good, but after trying this there's really no going back again.

The gel comes in a relatively large can and only needs the smallest squirt to lather up enough to cover the average beard area adequately. The gel is lightly scented though I cant actually place of what, maybe it's just soap. Either way the gel is particularly kind on my skin which can be very sensitive to such things.

The gel works particularly well and encourages the hairs to stand up enough to make shaving relatively easy and I've definitely cut myself a lot less since switching to this brand. A single 200ml can lasted me over three months and I shave almost daily. The gel isn't the cheapest on the market but if you shop around smartly you can usually find it in three for two's at places like Boots or the supermarkets.

Summary: A great way to shave, particularly good on sensitive skin.
