Close Comfort Shave Gel
This product provides an effective barrier and is indeed soothing. It is best suited for women's legs, rather than a man's beard. It "rinses" acceptably under running water on legs, but does not "splash" of the face easily. In fact, it is tedious work trying to do so. I suggest the smooth finish conditioner for male customers, which is a great shave product.

Close Comfort Shave Gel
This gel is great for sideburns or anywhere you need to see while you shave. Try Silk Mist Moisturizing Body Spray as a pre-shave treatment.

Excellent
I'm surprised to see so many mixed reviews for the Close Shaving Gel. I get a much better shave on my face with it than with anything else I've tried. My skin used to feel so dry after shaving but not anymore!

the best!!
My husband, my sister and I all agree that it is much easier to shave when using this great gel. He used to use foaming shave cream and now he thinks foam is "stupid".

Good
This is a very good shaving gel if you have very sensitive skin, except you seem to need to pile it on thick to avoid cuts. I tried Neutrogena's Razor Defense for men and I like it just as much (it contains no skin irritants besides "fragrance" which is the last ingredient) and it's cheaper. I do appreciate the moisturizing and anti-irritation properties of this gel though.

Fights Irritation, But Not Very Lubricating
Wonderful at fighting irritation, which wouldn't occur in the first place if gel was more lubricating. I mix it with Zirh, which is very slick.

Awesome Product! :-)
I LOVE this gel!!! :-) :-) :-) Even with the recent formulation change (water first, instead of aloe), it still rocks :-) Works GREAT on my sensitive skin :-)
—Tara

AMAZING
I love this product and tell everyone about it. My legs always had razor burn or irritation until I started using this product.

Pretty Much Perfect
I've been using this product for many years now. I no longer even know what else is available on the market, because this shaving gel leaves nothing to be desired. Perfect texture for shaving, great price, non-sensitizing, no fragrance, even a very subtle bluish color that appeals to the senses. It's really hard to imagine how it can be improved upon. Thanks Paula. :)
