It’s amazing the variety of things you’ll find in your partner’s shower. One particular evening I grabbed my razor and went to grab the shaving gel that always sits on the right shelf and noticed a bottle of Coochy|Coochy® shave creme lying right next to the gel. Out of sheer curiosity, I figured I’d give it a try.

I’m quite used to the very strong scented shave gels, Coochy was very faint and I didn’t really smell anything. Disappointing, as most stuff you’ll find in womens' showers tend to smell pretty good. I plopped a quarter sized amount into my hand, as previously warned by her, don’t use very much. It tends to get very sticky and thick and will clog up your razor. I rubbed it vigorously between my hands and then applied it around my penis. I shaved like I normally do, rinsing the razor a little more frequently, scrubbed the residue off, and hopped out of the shower.

The true test was the next morning, when I woke up, and my skin was screaming mad. Irritation, a few in-growns, it wasn’t pretty. I’ve always had a small amount of irritation as my hair is coarse and my skin tends to be a little sensitive, but this was unreal. It definitely didn’t help make my skin smooth and irritant free and I actually avoided sex the next night just because my skin looked so terrible.

Overall, Coochy is a complete failure for me. It didn’t help prevent irritation and in-growns, but actually made it worse. I won’t even use this as back up, I’ll stick with water alone. The only positive about Coochy is that it stayed where I put it through the whole shower, but did end up in me scrubbing my freshly shaved areas pretty vigorously trying to remove the residue. Save your money and either buy regular shave gel or wax.
