What is Xflex Shave Cream?

Xflex Shave Cream by Edelstein, from the Xflex line, is a non-foaming shaving cream for precise shaving of sideburns, moustaches and goatees, spread and massaged by hand onto the damp skin, in a 500 ml format for the barbershop and for home use. Its creamy texture with stearic acid, cetearyl alcohol, glycerin, sorbitol and allantoin lets the razor glide over the skin, while menthol gives a fresh sensation. At about 5 ml per service, a 500 ml format gives around 100 shaves.

Key ingredients

• Stearic Acid and Cetearyl Alcohol: give the cream its body and creamy texture.
• Glycerin and Sorbitol: humectants that help the skin feel less dry after the shave.
• Allantoin: a skin-conditioning ingredient.
• Menthol: gives a fresh sensation during and after the shave.
• PEG-75 Lanolin: an emollient derived from lanolin.

Results

The razor glides over the cream, and because the cream does not foam, the outlines remain easy to follow for precise shaping. After rinsing the skin feels fresh and soft.
