Santa Maria Novella Shaving Cream (Original)

Santa Maria Novella Crema da Barba



My experience with this product is very similar to most anyone who has used this product. It presents almost like a soap but lighter and softer and, with a proper brush, you get a wonderful creamy lather that lubricates well yet allows an exceptionally close shave. The menthol, eucalyptus, and camphor provide a very refreshing, medicated shave. Like others, I am getting over a year out of a tub. This is a product I won't be without. It just doesn't get any better than this.



So we can read that it contains eucalyptus oil, as well as camphor, menthol, and lanolin. This version also has parabens, SLS and Boric Acid.

The shave is simply perfect, due to the lanolin, which truly makes the difference, specially if you have very dry skin like I do.

It’s not an inexpensive shaving cream, costing $68.00 at most dealers, but a jar last forever. Considering this is a 220 ml - 7.4 oz jar, I figure the cost per shave is quite low.

The best place I’ve found to purchase this product is at Lee’s Safety Razors
