Van Der HagenShave Butter 6 oz (Pack of 2)

My combination of sensitive skin and wiry whiskers leads to lots of nicks and cuts. This is one of the few products that seems to help with that. I've tossed all the other creams and butters, and only use this one now.

I have had this shave butter on subscribe and save from Amazon for several years now and love it!Prior to a friend introducing me to shave butter, I was like so many others who were using the gels and creams from the popular shave product manufacturers. Once I experienced a shave with shave butter for the first time I was hooked. I then spent a few years trying different products I found on Amazon or the big box retailers until I found this one. Wow, the shave is so close, comfortable, non-irritating for my sensitive skin, and just incredible with this shave butter! And the price can't be beat for the value of what I feel it is worth. It does have a minor scent that I can barely smell, so that does not bother me.I have recommended this to several buddies, but only just now thought about writing a review on it. Try it, then save a bit more with the subscribe and save!

Hands-down the best shaving cream I have ever used. It's been several years since I purchased my first bottle, and I won't use any other shaving cream. I have to address the negative reviews, because they seem ludicrous to me - I have thick facial hair and sensitive skin, and this has been nothing but highly-effective, non-irritating, and deeply-moisturing. I often opt for a clean shave with this, over a trim with a buzzer, when I want my skin to look really good for a special occassion.It seems to me that most of the negative reviewers haven't done their homework on how to get a good shave with *any* razor/cream:1. Take a hot shower, or rinse your face with hot water for a couple minutes. This will make your facial hair less brittle and more amenable to the razor. If you just splash on some water on your face and try to shave without any prep, your shave is going to be less pleasant, because all of your hair is at maximum-level brittle.2. Apply warm water to your face, then add the shaving cream. You should use a double-edged, single-blade razor (Van Der Hagen also makes an excellent one). The typical four-blade razor that most companies sell is completely gratutitous (usually the blades are so low-quality that they need to pile on more so people feel like it works) and actually very very very bad for your skin - think about it, you are taking a super-sharp object and moving it along the most sensitive part of your skin - you want less blades, not more!3. Shave with the grain, not against it. Rinse after 2-3 strokes. Leave the mustache for last, because that is the most brittle type of hair, and you want the shaving cream to soak, soften, and moisturize those hairs.4. Avoid aftershave. It serves zero purpose, and the alcohol in it can make your break out. Plus it burns. All drawback, no benefit.Again, it seems like the negative reviewers don't follow proper shaving protocols, so they break out or have unpleasant shaving experiences. Your facial skin is so sensitive, you have to make sure you are shaving properly. Also, I use more shaving cream than the bottle instructions recommend, but, even with the decent amount that I use, a bottle lasts for months.All in all, this is a top-of-the-line product. Given the market in low-quality multi-blade razors and shaving creams, many of which have weird additives that do nothing beneficial for your skin, this is the product you need. Highly recommend.

I hate to shave. Don't know anyone who loves it. I've tried all the shaving creams and like this one the best. Creates a smooth shave and has a very mild but pleasant scent. Wish they made an after shave balm like this. Recommend.

Van Der Hagen mostly makes junk, and I would not recommend them to anybody. The shave butter is really good and worth buying even if it takes them 2 weeks to get your order to you.

I discovered this product while on vacation after leaving my usual cream at home. I had never heard of it before but found I was getting close shaves with no nicks or irritation. I’ve been using it since I got home and after 2weeks of shaves ordered a few more. Great product.

Smooth shave and good moisturizer .The smell is so so and but price is fair.

I ran out of the "butter" recently and used traditional shaving "cream.' Wow! What a big difference. Won't ever go back to "cream."

It gives smooth shave and no burns after shave. Removes requirement of after shave and balm
