Van Der Hagen Precision Shave Gel (6 oz)

Excellent shave gel. Super slick and protective. Clear for ease of use and sight. Perfect for ‘manscaping’ those intimate parts. Love, love, love it and recommend highly.

The best I’ve ever used. This gel is slick, does not clog my razor, allows me to trim my mustache and goatee very close, requires a very small amount so it lasts a long time and it’s very well priced. A real plus is that I can transfer less than 3 ounces into a small travel squeeze bottle and it will last me for over a month on vacation without taking up hardly any space. So happy I found this product.

Disclaimer: I am not being compensated for this, this is written after two uses, and I am a mixed race male with a mixture of course and soft hair. Opinion: Shave gel was very clear, went on like jelly, and had a nice scent. It is very thick, again like jelly, so just a little bit covers a decent area. I have very very sensitive skin and this didn't make me break out. I used it with a cheap straight edge razor to shape up my eyebrows, shave the hair off the top of my nose, shave off my sideburns, and clean up my jawline. This lubricated very well during the entire shave, and did an amazing job. Pros: Cheap, effective, clear and easy to work through. Nice scent as well. Cons: Honestly, none. This product is really good, and it will definitely be an item I repeat order. Additionally, it is made in the U.S.A. despite the name, and it arrived within two days.

Very thick and slick. Maybe too thick? It doesn’t wash off very easily but it DOES provide a pretty smooth shave and has a unique smell that I like. Nice to be able to see where you’re shaving since it’s crystal clear, perfect for edging (I have a beard) so that’s why I got this. Would buy again, even though I still get some blood! Maybe it’s just my sensitive skin? Nice product and all natural which is a GOOD thing!

Great to shave with

Very good quality keeps from getting cuts

So I decided to do a fun experiment and try a bunch of clear shaving gels that are good for people that have beards. Clear or almost clear gel make it much easier to work around permanent facial hair. All of these had decent rating on amazon so I thought to try them all. So here are the results. All of them performed well 24 hours after my last shave. After 2 days though there was a bit of a difference. The Pacific Shaving Company and Van Der Hagen did not give as smooth of a shave as the others. Part of the problem with both of them is that the consistency is too jelly-like and does not distribute nicely on the face. In terms of scents I lived the American Crew and Barbero the best. I didn’t like the smell of the Pacific Shaving company product. But this is subjective. I let me beard grow for 3 days and believe it or not the Gillette Fusion Proglide easily performed the best. I found this out by covering half my face with one gel, and used another gel on the other side. You can really feel the difference when you do it like that. If you use one gel only per shaving session then its really hard to feel the difference. I really did not like this conclusion to be honest. Gillette is a huge company, and I like to cheer for the underdog trying to come up. Only Barbero was close in performance, and American Crew was also decent. Barbero had a screw cap. What made it worse is that I first opened it a ton of gel came spurting out and got wasted. All the others have a flip cap which is much more convenient. But if you want to support another gel instead of Gillette I’d give Barbero the #2 spot. Third best falls to American Crew. Barbero and American Crew both had a better scent than Gillette. So to review in terms of ranking: 1. Gillette Fusion Proglide 2. Barbero 3. American Crew 4. Van Der Hagen 5. Pacific Shaving Company 6. Elegance Gel (not pictured) Hope this helps. Happy Shaving!

I have sensitive skin and have tried several creams and gels. I like it better than the highly rated but outrageously expensive Neutrogena Sensitive Skin Cream I've been using for months. Precision Shave Gel is easy to apply and very clear. It does not irritate my skin, dry out on my face, or clog my razor. Precision Shave Gel is economical and super smooth. So far, my favorite gel.
