Remington SP 5 Pre Shave Talc Stick Face Saver For all Men's shavers

Customer Reviews

Face Saver is fantastic

2008-07-03
This product makes an electric shaver worth having. It smooths the shaving experience and prevents razer burn. If you buy it I recommend shaving one last time with a razer then use your electric shaver with face saver everyday for a week while your face hair adjusts (it'll get softer over that week).

I hated my electric razer for years until buying face saver and recommend it highly. Shame you can hardly find it in many stores. One stick lasts years though.

FaceSaver Powderstick

I have used FaceSaver Powderstick for shaving for many, many years. It sets up my face for the electric shaver and for very pleasant electric shaving. Not able to find it locally, I appreciate finding it at Amazon.com.

Very Helpful

The price is good but the shipping and handling makes up for what you save.

Smoooooth sailing

Works great - not a hint of razor burn or irritation. I use it mainly on my neck and chin, which are the areas that are the most difficult to shave. Face Saver not only helps the razor glide more easily, it helps get those hairs on your neck that just won't stand up so they can get clipped.

I've used it with rotary and foil shavers - works very well with both, and clean-up is a snap. Unlike one reviewer, I don't find the scent objectionable (but I've never used the older version so I don't have anything to compare it to). In fact, I think it smells rather nice!

If you shave with an electric shaver, you simply have got to give this stuff a try.

A Great electric pre-shave

The Remington Face-Shaver powder stick is a great way to enhance shaving comfort and closeness. The Powder Stick can be used with all brands of electric shavers. A pre-shave powder stick to enhance shaving comfort and closeness.

Not as good as the older version

I have been using these sticks for many years and they do a great job of helping to keep your face from getting razor burn from daily shaving. Really fantastic, but......

Remington decided to "improve" the scent. I was revolted when I tried the new ones with the white/red/blue cap. The increase of 'parfum' is too much and just stinks - imho. What used to be a pleasant experience first thing in the morning has turned into a trial. I keep thinking I'll get used to it but I never have. Hmmm.....maybe noseplugs.

I would not recommend buying these in bulk, (as I used to do) until you've tried one to see if you can handle the smell.

Since I first reviewed this product back in March, I finally found one without the intense smell. It's called Derma Bloc Pre Shave Powder Stick. It's also sold by a great company - Shavetronics, which you can order thru Amazon.
It's great! - and no more noseplugs.

Excellent product.-

This is a variation of the classic pre-shave lotion, but in solid form. Main ingredient is parafin, a petroleum destilate grounded to a very fine powder and molded thru extrusion into a solid bar.
Once it touches your face skin it pulverizes again and remains in the skin as a fine lawyer of talc-like powder.
Contrary to apparences it lubricates the skin almost flawlessly. Of course if you press the electric shaver to much it will burn your skin!
Nonetheless this is a high quality product (Made in Switzerland) that is why is rather on the expensive side, but it certanly delivers 100% on its intended use and purpose.
I always keep 5 o 6 bars at one time in stock, because I know it's too good a product before it substituted by a chinese cheaper import.

The best pre-shaver ever

After trying many pre-shaving products I found this to be the best one. The only problem is that it is hard to find, when I do I usually buy several.

This is a great product, have been using it for years. Tried other dry methods and they do not work nearly as well as this product.
