Aqua Velva Ice Balm

Just recently picked up a bottle of this to try on someone's recommendation. So far, no complaints. Light scent that dissipates-if you didn't know it, you would not think it was aqua velva.

Is it as good as others-no, but I believe it can compare to the Nivea ASB old formula very well. Plus, it's cheap price wise and available everywhere. :signs107

Add to this the fact that a black male is recommending Aqua Velva( a sure sign of the apocalypse!) and you won't be sorry for your purchase

I like this stuff. I don't use it often (my go-to is Coral Skin Food) but I like it. I know Will and Rick like the Ice Blue Aqua Velva, but I just didn't think I could handle the alcohol burn. But this balm is very soothing.

 

Marty, I love your sense of humor! And then there's your sig line. :roflA belated welcome to The Shave Den.

Now if we could just find some figure skaters for ya...(you know, to go with the NHL guys!)

 

Marty,

You using AV is not as strange as all the white guys I know with a can of Murrys Hair Cream.

And My brother inlaw using Magic Shave Powder.

 

In my search for cheap+good ASBs, the Aqua Velva is one of the winners in my book. The local Kroger had it on clearance for $2.80 recently. I picked up two. Others on my winner's list are Nivea, Neutragena Triple Protection Lotion, and Brute ASBs. I didn't like the Brute scent when I was a teenager and still don't like it as an old guy, but if you can get past the scent, it's a good, cheap ASB. One step up from these are any of the St. Charles Shave AS Milk products. At $10, they are a little pricier, but I really like the Savory Rose and the Lavender one. Poraso ASB is also wonderful, but at $13 it may not seem to fit into the cheap category. It is Trumpers, Taylors, etc.

Marty, I tried the Aqua Velva Ice Balm once, and you're right about it not smelling at all like Aqua Velva. The problem is, my darn skin screamed "OUCH"! so I had to give it away after 1 application. There are only a few a/shave balms I can use without having any issues.

Hey !!
I use some of that (on my goat....tee, that is )

 

Thanks for proving my point.

 

I used Murray's years ago-when I had hair.

You might have to have a lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng talk with your brother in law or we'll send over the 'shave police'.


Marty

 

We have had the talk :rofl

I think he needs a Shave-avention.

 

Ahh, Where can I find this stuff? Never seen it before.

 

Wal-Mart,CVS,Target, stores like that. It's very inexpensive also.


Marty

 

Thanks Marty, I'll keep checking, my local Wal-Mart didn't have any as of 2 days ago.

 

I am afraid that i can't afford it but reviews about this ,I am impressed despite that i am not fond of AV .
