Gillette Menthol shaving cream review

Phil from BullGoose and I did a "cultural exchange" of creams recently, and this is one of the creams he sent me:

Ease of lathering: 10/10--Rich, creamy lather in no time!

Longevity of lather: 10/10--Great stability which is important.

General skincare: 8/10--Real cooling, somewhat less than the Palmolive Menthol creams but protective.

Scent: 8/10--Nice. A lot nicer than Gillette Menthol cream from Lebanon.

Price: 10/10--I traded for this cream, but it's reasonably priced.

Would I buy again: 10/10--For sure. This French version is excellent. Phil knows his stuff!

I was never really a fan of the Gillette creams because I found that the ones from Lebanon stank from artificial scents and had lousy skincare. This stuff from France is a very different type because it not only lathers super-richly, it smells nice, is well-mentholated, and looks after the skin quite well.

Jeff, I have the non-mentholated sensitive skin version and find it to be excellent, as well.

That cream is somewhat available here in Portugal also. I never gave it much attention - maybe because of the "Gillette" name. =9
I just have to try it one of this days.

Merci beaucoup!

Gillette Menthol shaving cream is a winner. In my opinion it is - together wirh her "sensitive" sister - one of the best shaving creams I have ever tried.
I have heard rumours that all European Gillette creams were discontinued so I stocked up with several tubes of both.

Ich mag diese Creme sehr - nach meiner Meinung ist es toll!

Interesting. Now I want to give it a try. I was looking at the Nivea at BGS, I seen Gillette and immediately thought, canned goo in a tube, yuck. Phil may want to note "not like canned goo" next to it. lol

Thanks for the review.

This has actually been discontinued so get it while the gettin' is good.

Congrats, sir. The French make very nice stuff.
