Skintimate Cream Shave works ok when you can get it out of its container. This container is hard to work with and you end up throwing out the last quarter of the product. I tried two different containers and both were the same.
Perhaps it is just me, I am a soap/bodywash and water shaver, but I didn't find this product effective at all. I got it free with a great coupon from Shopper's Voice, so I can't complain about wasted money, but I bought it hoping that it would work more like my bodywash and less like a shave gel. It seemed to clog up the razor leaving half of the stubble on my leg. I will stick to my regular routine.
I use the Skintimate rather than soap because I don't like how the soap gets into the creases of the blades of the razor. My favorite Skintimate scent is Raspberry Rain with Olive Butter. There are tons of moisturizers in the shaving cream that help soften and protect your legs that some of the soaps just don't have. I believe it takes two to get a good shave and that's a good razor and a good shaving cream and Skintimate helps me get a good shave with no bumps.
I bought this by recommendation from a friends saying the strawberry one was amazing. I absolutely hated the smell! The product worked just as well as my Satin Care staple. In general I bought this brand less just because I usually had coupons for Satin Care. I'm pretty sure some of the other scents are better.
I'm now sharing shaving cream with the bf so my legs smell like generic "man" smell after a shave.
Skintimate shave gel is one of my favorite products to shave with. I love the smell it is Strawberry Tangerine Twist which is one of their signature scents and it smells so good. I also tried some of the other ones to but I just love the smell of this one the most. There are a lot of reasons why I love skintimate for one the price I think is great for the quality you get. The can is a great size also. It really goes along way also it almost seems like the can is never ending. One thing I really like is how you don't have to use a lot of shave gel to get the job done. It lathers up and spreads out very easy and evenly as well. Another thing it is a moisturizing shave gel with vitamin E and Olive Butter in it so after you have shaved your legs they are super soft. One great thing is it keeps you from getting cuts were it allows the razor to just glide across your legs so the is a good thing. I have used Skintimate for some time and will continue.
I got a sample of this shave gel at Toronto Fashion Week. The bottle is very pretty but I found that it doesn't hold all that much because it used a quickly. It does leave my legs feeling smooth but I don't think it was any better or worse than other shave gels I've tried. The price is also quite steep for something that doesn't last particularly long, so I probably wouldn't buy this again.
For me, I'd rather invest in a good razor and shave with soap or conditioner as coating. I really don't notice my legs feeling any softer after shaving with a shave cream vs. with bar soap.
