I only just made the switch from an electric razor to manual shaving for my face. I kept away from manual razors due to the multi-step commitment involved, as a consequence of wanting something quick and convenient. I exhaustively researched the techniques of manual shaving when I came upon Esquire Magazine’s 2007 pick for the best shave cream: Billy Jealousy Hydroplane Shave Cream.

This novel, foamless shave cream uses silicon beads to promote the slick, non-drag hydroplane feel. Your razor will effortlessly slide over the curvatures of your face while leaving it free from burn, nicks, and irritation. Hydroplane is alcohol free and has the texture of hair conditioner. It has a hint of citrus and mint aroma due to the natural oils in the product. Billy Jealousy Hydroplane may cost somewhat more, but the investment is in your face… your most noticeable body part.
