Product Information
Full details
The Baxter of California Super Close Shave Formula is designed for individuals seeking a smooth, comfortable, and moisturizing shave. Its key benefit is providing a protective cushion that allows the razor to glide effortlessly, minimizing irritation and leaving skin soft. A potential caveat for some users might be the product's specific formulation, which may differ from traditional foams or gels.

FAQs
How much product should I use for one shave?
A small, pea-sized amount is typically sufficient. Wet your hands slightly and work the cream into a lather on the area to be shaved. Adjust the amount based on your preference for lather richness and coverage.
Can this be used with an electric razor?
This formula is optimized for use with manual razors. While it can be applied before using an electric razor, it may not provide the optimal experience and could potentially clog the shaver's head.
Is this product suitable for sensitive skin?
The formula contains soothing ingredients like Aloe Vera and Allantoin, which are beneficial for sensitive skin. However, the inclusion of menthol may cause a cooling or tingling sensation that some individuals with very sensitive skin might find irritating.
How does this compare to shaving foam or gel?
Unlike foams or gels that come from an aerosol can, this is a concentrated cream that you lather yourself. This allows for a thicker, more protective cushion and often richer conditioning properties.
Does the product have a strong scent?
The product has a signature Baxter of California scent that is generally considered clean and masculine. It is not overpowering and is designed to be pleasant without interfering with other grooming products.
Can I use this on my head if I shave my head?
Yes, the formula is designed for facial hair and skin, making it suitable for shaving the head as well. It provides the same protective glide and moisturizing benefits.
Troubleshooting
Razor feels like it's dragging
Ensure an adequate amount of shave formula is applied to cover the entire area to be shaved. Reapply if necessary, especially for multiple passes or against the grain.
Skin feels tight or dry after shaving
Make sure to rinse the skin thoroughly after shaving to remove all product residue. Applying a post-shave balm or moisturizer can further enhance skin hydration.
Product seems difficult to spread
Use slightly damp hands when applying the cream to the face. This will help create a richer lather and distribute the product more evenly.
Menthol 'cooling' sensation is too strong
Use a smaller amount of product and avoid applying it directly to particularly sensitive areas. Consider using a moisturizing pre-shave oil first.
