Gudonya shave bar or other recommendations

I'm looking for a new shave cream.  I've tried Dr. Bronners (dried my skin) and Kiss My Face and Nature's Gate (the smells were too strong for me). 

I think I remember someone posting about the Gudonya shave bars but I can't remember if they were good or not so great. 

Any other recommendations?

Re: Gudonya shave bar or other recommendations

  • I use Gudonya's shave cream (the strawberry scented) and I love it!  It works really well and doesn't dry my skin out.
  • I bought the shave bar and I wasn't that happy with it. I was under the impression that it would be this big bar that would last a long time. It was the size of a regular bar of soap and didn't last as long as I thought it would .I shave my legs almost every day, so I would like something to last a long time. I want to try the cream, but I think I will just stick with shaving with soap.
  • I have been using baby oil, which works great but isn't the best ingredient. So I'll switch to a food oil (probably whatever is cheap at the dollar store, as I don't plan to eat it - maybe olive, sunflower, or canola) when that runs out. I'll add a drop or two of essential oils for scent.

    Just rub a bit (about 2 teaspoons) onto your legs and shave away. Moisturizing, cheap, and I haven't cut myself since I stopped using normal shave products.

  • Thanks!  I ordered a jar of the shave cream.  If I end up not liking it, I'm only out $4. 

    I would have never thought to use oil.  I'll give that a try tomorrow.

  • I also have the Gudonya shave foam and really like it.  I have sensitive skin and it isn't drying them out or causing any rashes.  I love it!
