Product Review: Every Man Jack Shave Cream

Since college, I've always been very particular about my shaving cream. The skin on my face is very sensitive and prone to razor burn, and I need to be careful about which products I use. Until recently, I would only use the Men's Shaving Cream from The Body Shop. Although it was great, at $18 a tub it was a bit pricey.

Then my friend introduced me to a product called Every Man Jack Shave Cream. It is available online and at Target stores for $4.99 per tube. I was a bit skeptical at first, but the price was a lot more bearable so I decided to give it a try. The label noted that Every Man Jack never tests on animals is good, because it is important to me that the products I use are not tested on animals. When I flipped open the cap on the tube of the Every Man Jack Shave Cream, I noticed the product had a refreshing, ever-so-slightly menthol scent. I was also surprised by how thick and creamy the shave cream was -- it was not the airy foam that comes out of a shaving cream can, but rather thick like a pasty lotion.

After wetting my face, I applied the Every Man Jack product to my skin and noticed immediately the cool, refreshing sensation the product offered. After a few strokes of the razor, I could tell the Every Man Jack Shave Cream had a slight numbing effect on the skin to allow for a more comfortable shave. I really enjoyed shaving with the product, and I feel like it allowed me to get a closer shave than I have in the past.

The only drawback of the product is that because it is so thick and creamy, sometimes it can be difficult to completely rinse the blade between shave strokes. I found that slightly increasing the temperature and pressure of the water that I used solved this problem. I really like that the Every Man Jack line is available at Target, so I no longer need to make a special trip to The Body Shop at the mall to pick up shave cream.

If you have sensitive skin like me and like to use a premium shaving product but don't necessarily like the premium price tag, Every Man Jack Shave Cream may just be the product you've been looking for. At just $4.99, it's a high quality product at an affordable price. I would encourage any man to give the Every Man Jack product line a try.
