I have been a wet shaver for 3 yrs I use english shaving creams and a badger brush. And I have to say I get the best shave using this cream and no bush, this is a great shaving cream that any guys should try and any woman should get for her man. Even if your guy uses a cheap throw away razor he would get a great shave with this shaving cream. But if you ladies get a chance get your man a double edge safety razor and some baldes he will thank you for it later down the road.
