Product reviews of Billy Jealousy Hydroplane Shave Cream, 8-Ounce Bottle
Review: Great Product with a little help
Beauty product: 4 Stars
I tried this product before and thought it was intailly just okay because I will still getting the "red neck" look. I was getting tired of e-shave products comming cracked or dried out so I tried this proudct again. Now here is what I learned to give a great shave with this product:
1. Make sure you used very warm water to wet your face and splash it on a few times to soften the beard. Or shave after getting out of the shower.
2. Spread it evenly the amount they recommend is pretty close
3. Keep a spary bottle filled with water near by.
4. Start shaving
I found the product was drying out and I needed to remoisten it; hence the spray bottle.
I have an extremly thick fast grown beard and now this product glides easily across my face with little redness. I liked the fact when you put it on you can still see your skin so easier to see what your doing. What every you have left washes off easily.
If you want to try something new or go for a change I highly recommend this product but save your money and do not buy the hot towel preshave. It adds nothing to your shave.
Review: Great Shaving Cream
Beauty product: 5 Stars
Bought this shaving cream four days ago. I was kind of skeptical, and wondered if it really would be better than a can of Aveeno or Gillette shaving cream. Well, it really is good stuff -- it has made shaving much easier on my skin, and I will be using it from now on.
Also, this was about as much as I was willing to pay for shaving cream - I saw some other brands available at high end stores (selling for as much as $65, and I'm not spending that much on shaving cream), and they were basically the same as some "all-natural" products I had tried from the health food store for arount $7.00.
Billy Jealousy is really a great product.
Review: Great product by itself...incredible with a shaving brush!!
Beauty product: 5 Stars
I initially bought this shaving cream during my seemingly endless search for "The Best." I don't honestly know if such a thing exists, and anyway, from what I've read, it's all about what works best for the individual. Whatever that means. So, along with four or five other shaving creams, soaps and various other highly recommended shaving solutions, I bought the Hydroplane Shave Cream just as a standby for those all-to-frequent mornings when I found myself without the time to use my shaving brush and really enjoy the ritual.
I have used it a number of times, in a rush, slathering it over my face and going across the grain hoping for, at the very least, a shave that would last until 2:00, or so. This stuff, even applied with my fingers, provided a noticeable lubrication absent from just about everything else I have ever used. That being said, it still did not, and does not, compare to the Truefitt & Hill, Talor of Old Bond Street, or (in my opinion) the great Proraso shaving creams; used with a quality shaving brush, immediately following a hot shower and a good scrubbing cleanser (Jack Black's Face Buff is highly recommended).
So, today, I was given a two-hour lunch break. I live about 5 minutes from the office, thought, "what the Hell?" and decided to take a second shower and get a really good shave, which I had missed before work. I hate missing out on the shaving brush, coupled with my better shaving creams and the time to get extra close; it leaves something to be desired and I don't feel "clean" like I do when I am able to devote the time for what has become a real joy for me. Anyway, something made me pick up the Billy Jealousy, squirt some into my shaving bowl and work it around with my brush. While applying it, I was very impressed with how it felt, how it seemed to get down close to the skin and under my beard and, after really taking the time to get a good lather (yes, it will lather up if you use a brush), I was even more impressed with the quality of the shave. I normally shave in three directions: with the grain, against the grain, then across the grain, respectively, stopping to lather up each time and rinsing my razor often. The Hydroplane cream was a surprisingly great shave and I went back to work much more relaxed, feeling cleaner (if that makes any sense).
I recommend the Hydroplane Shave Cream for both, the hurry-up and go shave, as well as the slower-is-faster shave. This stuff works well either way. Get it, if for no other reason than to have it as an option, regardless of the price tag. Enjoy...
Review: Great shave, great price.

I had been using the Jack Black Beard Lube for awhile, and had noticed a huge improvement in my shave over the traditional foams. The price point was a little high, however, and this shave cream had adequate feedback so I gave it a try. I am very pleased with the performance of this product, especially at half the price of the Jack black product. Does not dry your skin out, blade slides effortlessly over even a few days worth of growth, and it has a nice, subtle and clean citrus smell. Very pleased. Review: Great with an Electric
Beauty product: 4 Stars
I initially tried this product with a Mach-3 Turbo razor. Given the reviews and the price, the results were disappointing. I still experienced too much irritation on my neck to shave every day. Later, I tried it with a Panasonic wet-dry electric shaver and this seems like the perfect lube for that application. It doesn't make the electric shave any closer, but there is no irritation to my face or neck, and no build-up on the blades and foil.
