The eos (“evolution of smooth”) brand is probably best known for its signature spherical lip balm products, but they make other stuff too, like lotions and shave cream, which I was recently enticed to buy when it was offered at a very low price during a drug store promotion. (I actually bought two.) This is the second non-shave-gel product I’ve tried on my legs…
Pros: Smells nice. Creamy. Can be used for “dry shaving”. Somewhat moisturizing.
Cons: Contains parabens. Gets diluted if you have too much water on your skin and doesn’t work very well. Didn’t notice any more moisturizing than I get from my shave gel with built-in moisturizers. Costs more than shave gel. “Pump” container, which leads to some wasting of the product, since it gets stuck in there.
In Summary: I’m not going to be buying shave cream/lotion to replace my shave gel. If I had to regularly “dry” shave my legs, I might be tempted to keep this around. However, all those “cons” I listed keep me from wanting to buy it again (especially the parabens, since my shave gel doesn’t contain parabens). Since it only cost 99 cents, I’m fine with it, but I definitely would not pay more than I spend on my shave gel to keep using it. I think it definitely falls into the “Not Bad, But Just Not for Me” category.
Price: approx $4
