Let me preface this by saying that I don't ever bother to take the time to write reviews for products, even if they work well. However, Alba shave cream worked so exceedingly well that I was prompted to do it justice with this review. I bought the coconut lime version on a whim based on what another reviewer on Amazon wrote. This was ~3 years ago. I bought a tube to try and that SAME one tube lasted me 2 years. Yes, you read that correctly. I shave about every 3 days and usually after a shower. It says (correctly) on the tube that using less works better, and this is definitely the case. I find that I can use about dime to nickel-sized drop to cover my entire face. Remember to wet your face lightly before applying, as this helps the cream spread. And DO NOT gob it on, this is not your regular horrid shaving cream. Apply it as if you were putting on aftershave lotion or a face lotion...that same amount. It goes on clear (a big plus since you can see what spots you missed). Shave as normal, rinsing frequently..your beard will just seem to vanish from your face. There is no tugging of the blade, no skipping, in fact with sharp or even a somewhat used razor, you hardly exert any effort...its just like a knife through butter. I have fairly sensitive skin and find that after using the alba shave cream I don't even need aftershave. I have no bumps, ingrown hairs, nothing except a smooth shave. I can count the amount of nicks and cuts I've had in 2 years on one hand and you can kiss irritation goodbye. In summary, BUY THIS. It uses natural ingredients and isn't even tested on animals. It's a steal and I would pay even $20 a tube, it's that good. Get the 4 pack and give it as gifts or just to keep handy. The length of this review should tell you how good alba shave cream is! NO other shaving cream/lotion that I've tried even comes close. I will never use another shaving cream again. Happy shaving!

This stuff rocks. You need only a small amount to shave your whole face and it helps reduce razor burn. I highly recomend it.

I've been trying to purchase more organic/green products from ethical companies and decided to try this. I love this cream! No razor burn or bumps from ingrown hairs.
