I think this is a very good product. It provides a good, reliable and stress-free shave. The shave is very close and I get no irritation from the cream at all. I like the functionality of it (simple and quick to apply, requires no real pre-shave prep) and also the fact that it is unperfumed and can be used as an extremely effective post-shave moisturiser.
Something else great about Ultra Shave is it's half the price of the only other shave cream that I've found to be really good (Aesop's shave serum). I have seriously sensitive skin and can also get bad ingrowing hairs, so have to pick my products very carefully. Additionally, I don't like using products that are (a)full of chemicals, particularly petrochemicals or (b)contain animal by-products or are tested on animals. Ultra Shave once again ticks all the right boxes in this respect. Over the years I have tried almost every product on the market in terms of tools - everything from cut throat to Mach3 - and creams/oils/gels etc. I have found a combination of Ultra Shave and a Merkur HD fixed head razor to be excellent. This has all but completely eliminated my shaving rash and ingrowing hairs. It's very simple, very practical and very good. In short, I have found it perfect for my morning shaves.

I did not rip my face to shreds!

Like most gentlemen of note and breeding, I consider myself to have very sensitive skin and as such I would always dread shaving before an important event for fear of "red-face". I used to go as far as shaving the night before that big meeting in order to avoid exposing my chapped face to my peers. But then Ultra-shave was suggested, once I used it I can only say that it really lives up to its name, my skin doesn't blotch anymore and my face feels firmer, smoother and more natural, in fact I like the way it makes my skin feel so much I have even started using it as my every day skin moisturiser.

Masculine products often have a strong smell, and having fairly sensitive skin I don't often spend money on a product that I might not get on with.
However, I got on with it really well. I really like it, it's easy and convenient to use, no mess and very convenient when you're eight months pregnant. The effects were pleasantly and impressively long lasting, with no irritation at all. I could also see it's potential as a great travel product, especially when camping, which we plan to do lots of in the future, when bathroom facilities can be unpleasant, crowded or a bit limited. I would definitely take this with me.
I'm confident that this is a product I would use again. I tend to stick with what I like and what I know. I'd also be interested in other products in the range when they become available.

I continue to enjoy the smooth shave and efficacious results of using Ultra Shave, it's definitely a different/innovative and effective shaving cream.
I have sensitive skin and your cream has been a real boon for me, I certainly appreciate and prefer a product based on natural ingredients.

Your shaving cream is fantastic. I've been shaving for 20 years with an electric shaver, and I thought that the shave was great. I would feel the beard growth again in the next few hours and think that this was normal. Right after the first shave with Ultra Shave I was pleasantly amazed.
Ultra Shave also gives me a soft skin without an oily skin and in my job as a Senior Steward with Air Canada the dryness of an airplane day after day got my skin to a level where I was searching for a non oily after shave balm or moisturising cream. Some of the creams were so oily that I often found myself having to pick up my glasses from the floor and more than one pair of glasses have been broken due to stepping on them.
Your cream has eliminated this problem. No oily face anymore and after shaving with Ultra Shave it now seems to take much longer for the beard to grow again. I thank you very much for your product and I will be promoting Ultra Shave to all the cabin crew, nothing shaves better or keeps the skin so moist.

I have been using Ultra Shave for a couple of months and perhaps had begun to take it for granted. Last week I went away for a few days. I found on arrival that I did not have my Ultra Shave with me. The experience of going back to a wet razor was not comfortable!
Rinsing the razor under a fast flowing tap at the completion of the shave fully clears the blades without bashing it against the washbasin. There is also the benefit that without a soapy covering you can actually see the bristles that need attention.

To all those who dread shaving
I've been using Ultra Shave for a while now and, speaking as someone who used to grow a full beard so I didn't have to shave, I now would not be without Ultra Shave. It is so kind to my face, chin and neck that I don't mind shaving in the least every morning.
My skin feels unbelievably smooth and soft and my razors last at least four times longer.
I found I had to figure out the best way for me to be comfortable in using it. I would challenge anyone to try Ultra Shave and not be completely satisfied with the result.
Just a word of warning, do not use it once and make a hasty decision, learn the best way for your skin type and it will be worthwhile.

My skin has never felt this comfortable after a shave
I'm a convert to your shaving cream, and not just for shaving. I am a retired painter and decorator and after working with paints and solvents for many years I have developed dermatitis on my hands and face.
I bought the Ultra and noticed that where I applied it my skin condition got much better, so I started to use it as an ointment on my face and hands, and it's better than anything that I have had over the years from my doctor.
Albert Lee, Bolton
I used Ultra Shave tonight and couldn't believe how close a shave I got. I'm very impressed with your product! My wife used it as well on her legs and she was also very pleased.
I liked the Ultra Shave much more than the conventional shave cream I was using. You have a terrific product! I'll be recommending your product to my family and friends!

I tried the Ultra Shave this morning and have to say I am well impressed. First thoughts as I was putting it on was how the heck was it going to do the job, as you rub it in it does feel just like a moisturiser and that it was being totally absorbed. You had told me about it leaving a slight residue on the surface of the skin but it doesn't feel like it. I then started to shave as normal to find that it really was a unique experience. So much smoother. I have had the luxury of "proper" barbers shaves with the old cut throat and all kinds of things, but nothing compares to the smoothness of the shave or the end result.
I had been getting a little excited about the product from speaking to you and I am in no way disappointed. My younger brother and father also tried it and couldn't believe it, especially my old man who can be a bit stuck in his ways sometimes and reluctant to try new things. My mother used it to do her underarms and thought it was great and my sisters have taken some to try on their legs. My brother-in-law who suffers from such bad shaving experiences that he only bothers to shave a couple of times a week has taken it to try it also so I shall let you know how he gets on. Having three brothers and three sisters has it's advantages... lol.
My sister-in-law who is a Beautician was the most sceptical - she had to witness it for herself and couldn't believe from watching my brother shave how smooth it looked and how his face felt even after using it just the once.
Sitting here now wanting the beard to grow so I can go shave again... lol

I've tried the Ultra shaving cream and I was really impressed with how it shaved my legs. It left my skin really soft so no more foam for me now.
