Jackfir The Classic Shave Cream - Natural Shaving Cream for Men Sensitive Skin, Face, EWG Verified, 70%+ Organic Ingredients, No Synthetic Fragrance, Dermatologist Tested, 5 fl oz

Works great, nice slick shave. I wet shave with a brush and a vintage Gillette safety razor and typically use a shave soap. This stuff doesn't really foam up like I thought it would... it's more like a shave lotion. Brush works OK but it's not really made for that. Anyway, compared to the Badger shave soap I've been using this stuff is more slick and yields a nice close shave. Mild fragrance, clean ingredients, solid brand.

This shaving cream has been amazing, it smells great (like pine/coconut) and provides great protection when shaving. Disclaimer: I've spent some time playing with the water-cream ratio in a mixing bowl and this shaving cream never seems to get as "fluffy" as other brands but I assume it's due to the chemicals other brands use. The cream still works perfectly but it doesn't seem to get as fluffy for me, which honestly allows for better visibility.

Perfect for husband's sensitive skin and it smells great!

My personal gold standard shaving cream is Jack Black Supreme Cream. I'll give you a direct comparison below but the bottom line for Jackfir Classic is the scent is unbearable. It works as a shaving cream with pretty good irritation protection and a smoothish shave, but the scent reminded me of latex paint. I could barely get through the first shave with it. Smell is subjective but man, I just couldn't take this. For reference, here is how I rate my personal favorite, Jack Black Supreme Cream: Smooth Shave: 10/10 Irritation Prevention: 10/10 Scent/Feel: 7/10 (mild and pleasant scent, won't blow your socks off. feel is a bit "wet" compared to traditional creams) And here is how I would rate Jackfir Classic: Smooth Shave: 6/10 Irritation Prevention: 7/10 (I got just a tiny amount of irritation on the neck) Scent/Feel: 2/10 (two points for the feel being not bad, negative points for the scent)

It’s hard to get excited by shave creams. There are so many on the market and most all claim a smooth, bump free shave. And this one is no different. That doesn’t mean it’s bad by any stretch, it just doesn’t stand out from the crowd. Instructions state to use a nickel sized dollop of cream to coat your face. That’s not going to work. Maybe a quarter size, but not a nickel. Inflation, I guess. This also defines the word “thick”. You’ll get your daily wrist exercises just trying to get it out of the tube. That isn’t necessarily bad, but lotion this is not. As such, it doesn’t foam more than it coats. As far as shaves go, it is smooth and did allow my double edged razor to go over my face without drag. It also left a minor scent that lingered for about an hour afterwards. Distinctive but subtle and kind of hard to describe. Now for the bad part. The residue clogged both my sink strainer and my double edged razor, the latter to the point I had to disassembly it to remove the goop (and that was after a good bath with hot water). It works and that’s what counts; however, at $30 a tube it’s a bit pricey for what it does.

If you're into wet shaving with a brush, this is definitely not for you! It would be better characterized as a “shave lotion”. So I tried using this stuff a second time, and have to say it’s even worse than after the first time. When you get done applying it to your face, your hand is completely covered with, like half the product you put on your hand in the first place. Once you start to shave it probably took 3-5 strokes, with the razor, for the razor to completely clog up and basically become unusable. Fortunately, I use the best single blade safety razor, I know of, so every few strokes I could remove the blade to get the used product out of my razor and off the blade. You’d be out of luck with one of those multi blade razors. The only use case I can see for this product is with an old school straight razor, but if you can’t use a good shaving brush with it, what’s the point of that! Bottom line a hard no! It wouldn’t be worth it at 1/4 the price!

I bought this shave cream as a gift, so I haven’t personally used it yet. However, based on my observations, it has a few noteworthy aspects. Packaging: The packaging looks nice and appealing, though it’s made of plastic. The product has received a good EWG rating, which is a significant plus since finding shave creams with clean ingredients can be challenging. This makes it a good value for money considering its emphasis on clean and safe ingredients. I can’t comment on the lather, scent, or overall shaving experience as I haven’t used it myself, but the clean ingredient list is definitely a positive feature.

I have very sensitive skin and this shaving cream irritated it.
