BLOCMEN © Aloe Vera Pre-Shave

In a bid to provide more care to my face, I bought this product after reading about it somewhere on the net. It has lasted me about six months on a reduced every other day shaving regiment.It's very easy to use, just rub over your face and shave. It can make a bit of a mess, so you have to shave before getting dressed. It does make the shave feel smoother, especially in more clammy weather. Unfortunately I didn't really think about the consequences of using this and after a relatively short time the junk that it leaves behind in your shaver had completely destroyed the sensors on my automatic cleaning bath for my shaver. I can no longer get it to sense liquid in the bath.I completely dismantled my shaver's head to give is a proper clean out and man, it's tough. This stuff doesn't like getting washed away. It had completely filled up the heads despite washing it after every use in the cleaner (until it packed up).If you have the luxury to clean out your heads by hand after each use, then this is a nice to have product, albeit on the pricey side.

I recently purchased my first electric shaver (it's a Braun Series 3) and I thought I'd try some of these electric shaving products.I tried an alcohol based lotion before that and I had mixed feelings. I was much more impressed with this powder.It makes the shaver glide a lot more smoothly on your skin. Particularly, if your face is slightly hot and sweaty. I found that this can be a real issue during the summer months. This absorbs any moisture from your face and makes the shaving experience much more pleasant.It may seem a little messy but it's actually not. You don't beed to go overboard with it. Just a small amount will do. You can spread it evenly it with your hands. It is a little crumbly though. Due to the way mine was handled during shipping a large piece of it just fell off when I first opened it.The main ingredient is talc here so you don't get any stinging or a strong alcohol smell. It has a pretty light fragrance to it which I like. It won't really last especially if you wash your face afterwards. That's good in my opinion because I don't like scents that are too strong. It also won't clash witch an aftershave if you use one.In addition to the fragrance, it has a slight cooling effect. It says it has menthol in it on the label.The one negative I can think of is that it clogs up the shaver with powder. I don't know if this will affect its performance. These kind of products have been around fo a while so I assume they know what they are doing. Still, I feel like I should wash it an applying oil to the blades more often when I use this powder.

Attraction was the Aloe Vera. There was nothing to suggest the mess that it would produce. This was in the sink and in the shaver. Ethically maybe it should be mentioned once opened it is non refundable.

Provides a better and closer electric shave than shaving without - or so husband says.

Works well but sheds a fair amount of powder. I will however continue to buy.

Very good but expensive. Only use ocassionaly.

Never used a pre-shave before but this has stopped the shaving rash. good product.

Does not give a close shave as a wet shave.
