Guide Review - Lucky Tiger Liquid Shave Cream

Lucky Tiger has a history dating back to the 1920s, so they've got a bit of experience creating classic shaving and hair care products for men.

Lucky Tiger Liquid Shave Cream is an new product for the company. It is unique because it goes on the skin in lotion form, but lathers with a little movement. I found the product provided among the best lubrication of any product I've tested in recent memory, although the lather was a bit thin for my tastes. Of course, good shave product is not about how fluffy the lather gets, but how well it lubricates and conditions the skin -- this product performed well in those areas.

My only real gripe with the product is in the packaging. The shaving cream was incredibly hard to squeeze from the bottle. I work out and still had difficulty with it. A few of the other thicker products in the line had similar problems, so I don't think it was unique to the sample I tested. That aside, I love the look of the packaging -- very old school and masculine.

Overall, a fine product which I can recommend with confidence. They also carry a face wash, face scrub, after shave balm, moisturizer, and eye serum which all performed well, but didn't particularly stand out against other products I've tried. They rest of the line does have a great citrus smell, which I found quite appealing and should work well for most men.
