- Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2017Scent: Mango VanillaSize: 8 Ounce (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseI usually don't write reviews but appreciate everyone else's and really wanted to pay tribute to this great product! Its title, Very Emollient, says it all about this cream shave. It is excellent for dry skin - very conditioning. My legs feel like silk after I use this. And the smell - OMG, the smell is wonderful! The mango vanilla aroma really gives you a dose of aromatherapy while shaving! I use about a walnut sized amount for my legs and I am very tall with long legs and that is plenty. The only sort of down side about the product is that while it is white when you dispense it in your hand, it goes on clear when you put it on your legs for shaving, so you really can't see where you have shaved. However, this sort of comes naturally without even seeing when you have done it for so long. It is really second nature. I haven't had any problems with missing an area or anything. With regard to the other reviews that said it clogged their razor, I didn't have this problem at all. Just swish your razor in the water after every stroke and the razor is clean. The price is good too. You get one more ounce than a can of Skintimate, which is overpriced and clogs often. I will never use anything but this for shaving ever again! Finally, it feels good to buy and use vegan products like this. It's just the right thing to do! BUY AND ENJOY!!!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2023Scent: UnscentedSize: 8 Ounce (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseI gave this 5 stars because it is exactly how it is described. Very emollient shaving cream. Completely unscented. So do not expect a sudsy, white lotion. It took me a while to get used to it because it is so different. Previously have used His My Face shaving lotion for years. Hard to get lately and ridiculously expensive now. This Alba cream is completely invisible. So the razor does not leave tracks. Just takes getting used to. I think it is more moisturizing than the KMF lotion. Use a small amount and rinse your razor like usual so it doesn't get bunged up. If I had the choice I would get the KMF again. However, this works well and is way cheaper and not full of garbage ingredients.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2023Scent: UnscentedSize: 8 Ounce (Pack of 1)Verified Purchasebought because my regular Kiehl's unscented has been out of stock for so many months. wife said Alba is a responsible company and makes good product. ALBA's shaving cream is slightly denser than Kiehl's and a little greasier between the finger tips and maybe only slightly less water soluble. That diff only impacts if you use too much ALBA and 'swish' your razor in standing water to clear it. Running water under a faucet always cleared the ALBA. I use about a choc M&M sized dab of the ALBA - all it takes for my every other day stubble and leaves Mach 3 razor very clean/clear. Compared last of the Kiehls on one side and ALBA on the other: no scent while shaving, both left a very clean shave, no razor burn and no scent or 'tingly sense' afterwards on my face, then hour later no difference in moisturized skin on either sides. Thank you ALBA. 5 stars!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2016Scent: Coconut LimeSize: 8 Ounce (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseI usually do not offer my opinion on something basic and innocuous like this but in this case you might find it useful. You can easily and precisely control the amount of gel squeezed out and need only apply a very small amount in order to achieve a "slick" surface that enables a razor to easily glide along the skin (some people may think that the slick surface feels "slimy" and too non-traditional). The residue washes off your skin and razor easily and completely. It is my opinion that you need only a very small amount for each shave (like less than a dime sized blob) and then you can make this large tube last for months. It has a pleasant smell too.
I see that a number of reviews complain about razors clogging up with this. My experience has been that it thoroughly rinses out of/off your razor, if you rinse with hot water directed toward the blade(s) cutting edge in a stream parallel to the blade's flat surface. After rinsing with hot water I found that remaining residue between the blades comes out easily if I bang the razor "head" against the wash basin bowl 5 or 6 times with the handle parallel to the wash basin bowl surface to loosen the remaining material (at the ends of the bades) and then rinse it again with hot water (same procedure as before) to get out residual material that was loosened by the banging.
The only thing more that it could do is act as an after shave/skin conditioner too.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2010In the past I've always used shave foam or gel for my legs, but always had problems with irritation, nicks, and dryness. The "sensitive skin" products work okay, but the Alba works better than anything else I've tried. The texture is odd at first, almost like clear lotion. It says it works best when used "sparingly," and this seems to be true. You rub on a thin layer and it's almost invisible. I was skeptical that it wouldn't be enough, but I haven't had have any trouble. Be sure to rinse the blade a lot because it's easy to underestimate how much shave cream is in it since it's not foamy. The result for me is the smoothest shave I've had, and with less dryness afterward.
The mango/vanilla smell is nice. It's mild and natural smelling (more like an actual mango fruit than artificial mango).
The quality of the shave is worth it for me, and while it costs more per container than regular shaving cream, this one lasts longer because you don't need to use very much.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good for your mug too!
Scent: Mango VanillaSize: 8 Ounce (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseAs part of my searches for shaving creams, I came across this “Alba Botanica” tube on Amazon which stated “mango vanilla”. That just sounded perfectly delicious. The tube was also some 227 g and something like $5. I just had to try it.
Read the full review on: Style4Men.ca
At this point, I gave little thought as to who this product might be targeted to. There was no clear distinction as to who the audience might be. It is only when I received the tube a few days later and started reading the back of the label where I saw a campaign which alba Botanica supports that I realized that this was a women’s shaving product.
The campaign is: Educating girls, changes the world.
Having the tube in front of me, it does look a tad feminine, but like that is going to stop me from trying this stuff out! I want mango vanilla too! 🙂
This morning’s shave using the alba shave cream was a nice experience.
As mentioned above, this is a fairly large tube, so it’s a good value. The product coming out of the tube is somewhere between a gel and a cream. It’s opaque and quite thick. Upon applying it to my mug, the product becomes transparent. In other words, like a shave gel. You will feel covered, but the labeling suggest that you can help the lubrication along by adding water. In other words, apply the gel to a wet face and add water touch ups as you shave to maintain a high level of lubrication. No different than when using a shaving soap or cream.
The ingredient list and manufacturing process statement are reassuring for anyone with health concerns. Considering the positive experience using this shaving cream, it is a confirmation that quality grooming care products CAN be made without being a chemical fiesta!
Based on this ingredient list, I can also venture the observation that most of the items listed here are the same as what you will find in our “man” shaving gels. The main differences being packaging and fragrances…and those didn’t even put me on the right track.
TEST STAGE:
State: Out of the shower
Razor: Merkur 180
Blade: Rockwell
Pre-Shave: None
Shaving Cream: alba botanica
Toner: Thayers
After-Shave: L’Oréal Sensitive skin aftershave
I found that shaving with this product was very comfortable. Since you don’t have a visual reference of what was shaved and that you are regularly adding water and spreading it, you are also checking the quality of your shave as you go along. I found that shaving with this cream was just as good as with any other gel I have tried so far.
While shaving the product accumulates along the blade but rinses off very easily under hot water. On the skin, the gel has a bit of staying power so you can comfortably do 2-3 passes. Once the shave is done, a simple wet towel wipe is sufficient to clean yourself up. Obviously, I went that extra step and did the toner cleanup as well before applying the after-shave.
Since alba botanica makes this product for shaving legs, there is no “aftershave” companion products. That being the case I had to mix a number of products for this shave: the alba shave cream, the Thayer’s toner to clean everything up and finally the L’Oréal after-shave cream. I find that mixing different brands can be an invitation to reactions or irritations. I am glad to report that it was all good and that I had no redness or reaction.
All ‘n all, an awesome smelling shaving gel at a very competitive price and offering a very decent shave.

Scent: Mango VanillaSize: 8 Ounce (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseBeing new to Wet shaving I wanted to use something that would let me still see my skin as I was never a fan of foams. Just keep in mind that this does dry up and get a bit tacky.
I only use one hand to apply the gel and I find that it stays on my hand so I can just wet my hand and reapply a tiny but of gel for quick touch ups. pea sized amount is plenty for each pass of the shave. when it dries just a splash of water gets it goin again.
Finished the shave with Alum block and then Alba Botanica Aloe Green Tea Oil Free Moisturizer and feel smooth and fresh all no burning.
