Product reviews of Billy Jealousy Hydroplane Shave Cream, 8-Ounce Bottle
Review: The closest thing to "the perfect shave"!!
Beauty product: 5 Stars
I've always been riddled with terrible razor burn, and i've tried 5-6 other brands of shaving gel and cream until stumbling upon this. It is uniquely amazing. It's thick and very smooth in texture, and assuming you're shaving with the grain (down) as you should be, you won't even feel the blade. I have acne prone skin and was worried about using this, but I rinse it off very well with cold water after and I have no issues. Followed with Billy Jealousy Shaved Ice after shave, I can't possibly think of a better shaving system...I honestly forget that I even shaved! This can also be used as lubricant underneath a layer of your current shaving cream, that's how I transitioned into this product and it worked well! Review: It was great until...
Beauty product: 2 Stars
It's good but completely overpriced! I thought it was really good until one day I didn't have it with me and needed to shave and used my Nivea body wash instead and that worked surprisingly well. Now I use the Nivea Active 3 and it works much better than the hydroplane; it produces less friction, giving me a less irritated shave (I use a Panasonic wet/dry electric shaver). The hydroplane feels really smooth when you first put it on, but after a few passes with my electric shaver, it starts producing friction and I have to reapply another layer; I don't have that problem with the Active 3 plus it's dirt cheap compared to the hydroplane. Review: This shave cream is mediocre, at best.

I bought this product, based on the recommendation of a few reviews, when I bought my Panasonic ES8243A Arc IV Nano Men's Wet/Dry Rechargeable Shaver on Amazon. It does no better than Gillette's gel foam and costs five times more. The bottle is made of such thick plastic that it is very difficult to squeeze even a "quarter size" blob into your hand. Stick with your grocery store favorite, Billy J. is no improvement.
Review: doesn't foam up, but works great!
Beauty product: 4 Stars
although it's true this isn't really a cream but like a slick soapy gunk, it does its job. Some ppl may find this odd because it doesn't foam up like an ordinary shaving cream. If you look at it from what a shaving cream is suppose to do, protects, promotes smooth blade glide..etc.. yes.. it does all that superbly.
the only thing is that I find this stuff doesn't really rinse off easily like others have claim.
Bottom line, works better than most brand out there.
Review: Works well

I got a sample of this stuff with an order of Derby Extra blades. I normally use Art of Shaving pre-shave oil along with AOS shaving cream or Proraso Cream. The Billy Jealousy, by itself, does a nice job of lubricating your skin and providing comfort while shaving while providing a close shave. My face, however, feels better with my regular battery of shaving paraphernalia. Even after putting on my normal after shave balm, my skin felt a bit dry with the Billy Jealousy. That being said, I'm going to order a bottle for travel and for those times I need to shave again in the evening. It's really hassle-free to use and requires no brush and very little prep.
It won't be my primary shave cream, but I plan to use it fairly frequently especially when I'm in a hurry.
