What is Xflex Shave Gel?

Xflex Shave Gel by Edelstein, from the Xflex line, is a transparent, non-foaming shaving gel with glycerin, aloe juice and chamomile extract that keeps the skin and the outline in view for precise shaving, in a 1000 ml format for the barbershop and for frequent use at home. Spread by hand onto the damp skin, it lets the razor glide over sideburns, moustaches and goatees, while Eucalyptol gives a fresh sensation. At about 10 ml per service, a 1000 ml format gives around 100 shaves.
