When I saw this shaving cream on the shelves at target I
thought why caffeine? Why would I need caffeine in my shaving cream? As it turns out, you really don’t. They do say
it reduces redness but does it really? I think it has more to do with the
packaging and product targeting then how it helps your skin.
Pacific has been around for a while since 2000 and has done
very well with the original offerings starting with after shave oil and moving
toward shaving scream. In that time, you’ll always see a redesign when products
start to lose momentum on the shelf. I think this is what’s happening here. The
caffeine infused shaving cream is nothing more than a gimmick in my opinion.
Just like the new single use shaving cream minis. The casing is encapsulated in
a food-grade, 100% water-soluble film they dissolved when they touch water. Nice
idea but I think this would appeal to a younger crowd.
Putting the above comments aside the shaving cream does work
well. It lathered instantly in my shaving bowl. It took just seconds to create
a very impressive amount. I was able to penetrate a 5-day old beard with ease.
The slickness and glide has room for improvement however although I did notice
some which allowed me to go over areas safely but I was very cautious. The post
shave feel was good as well.
The aftershave (again with caffeine) I found not to my
liking. I didn’t care for its texture and was not too fond of the horrible
scent. I found it didn’t provide any relief or soothing effect as an aftershave
should. It just left my face greasy and disappointed.
So, I do recommend the shaving cream with Caffeine or decaffeinated
I just want to know when the mocha latte version will be coming out.
