Whish Shave Cream - I Whish I'd Never Tried It.

What Birchbox says about it :

Birchbox BreakdownThis decadent shave cream from whish one-ups its competitors. Made in the U.S. with eco-friendly ingredients, the non-drying formula gives you a mighty close shave without leaving legs devoid of moisture. And, unlike its distant peers, it’s designed not to foam up: instead, the rich lotion is chock full of organic and natural botanicals that soften skin.

This product is a light cream that slides on nicely. It doesnt foam up and it smells nicely. The problem is in the actual function.

Let me start by saying this one-ups NONE of the shave creams I have ever tried. Heck, I have used conditioner in the past when travelling and it does not even one up THAT. This was horrible. It got caught up in the razor, it made the razor skip and slide, and I am not sure how I didn't end up cutting myself. I would pull my razor up and it would go to the side. I was so annoyed with this product I posted on the Birchbox page.

So it seems others had the same experience and one actually did get a 3 inch gash on her leg because of it. Overall this was a giant fail and I w(h)ish I had never tried it!
