Too much scent for my sensitive areas, but wonderful everywhere else
This product is hit and miss. It works for almost everything that I would need to use it for, but it does not cover all of my bases. The thick nature of the product can be both a pro and a con at times, as can the scents that have been added into the product. If you are looking for a general shaving cream, this is the best, but if you are looking to do bikini areas, you may want to find something specifically formulated for that area of the body.

I love love love this for my legs and under arms, it leaves me silky smooth and smelling great. However, there is too much perfume going on for my girly areas. I have sensitive skin to begin with and this is not good for me down there.
The amazing things about this product:
1: The container is wonderful, unlike many of my shaving creams this does not leak. The pump top is by far the best design out there for shaving creams. The container has a hand grip making holding on to it in a slippery shower easy. Also, the container is made out of recyclable plastic.
2: It is thick. Think moisturizing cream, thick heavy lotion. It goes on super smooth and moisturizes your body while you shave, leaving you more than silky smooth all over.
3: It does smell really nice for 95% of your body and the smell stays around after you shave.
4: You can use it without water. I don't tend to, but I have brought this camping and it was nice to not need water to shave my legs.
Now for the not so nice:
1: It will clog your razor. I use a five blade and have to have pipping hot water running in my sink next to my shower to clean the blade during use. This is because of the oils that make it something I love on my legs. So while, for me, they balance out, for you they may not.
2: It has perfumes in it and that is just too much for my very sensitive skin. I know that there is a sensitive skin version and an unscented version and I hope to try them at some point, however, I can only comment on the scent that I have.
Overall a very nice product, just know that it may not work for every shaved surface of your body.

Follow-up commentary
2 months after original review
Some of my first experiences with this product were the pink bottle. I believe it was Pome Raspberry and I had a lot of trouble with that specific scent. However, I have been bliss to have been able to try the unscented version and it was a total hit. Everything I loved about the product originally without the things that bothered me. I'd say even if you've tried the scented versions and didn't like them for reasons similar to mine, that you should give the unscented a fair try and I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Thanks for the review, not sure how I feel about it clogging up the razor. -
I'm sad this isn't as good as other eos products! Thanks for sharing. -
Thanks for the great review! -
You made some great points in this! However, I'd be interested in knowing the ingredients Not a huge deal, but curious still. I'm glad you did warn about the razor clogging! I wondered if this left behind any greasyness. I think I may need to stay away. I hate a clogged razor so much that I'd rather shave totally dry! Lol. I was hoping this would be a better product -
Thanks for your review! -

The ingredient list can be found on the products main page. to add it to a review would be redundant -
