This isn't meant as a full review or anything like that but I ordered a tub of this stuff a few weeks ago and just got around to using it today, so I thought I'd offer my thoughts. I initially threw Baume.be into the shopping cart because I had heard it was a good cream specifically designed for people with sensitive skin, which I have, albeit at the lower end of the spectrum.
My expectations weren't very high as I thought for some reason that because it was formulated for sensitive skin, it would be lacking some important ingredients which comprise good shaving creams/soaps and would therefore be lacking in performance.
Well, I was completely wrong. This is absolutely a top shelf product and the performance is excellent. The glass jar feels solid and adds a nice touch to the overall experience, it will be used for other refill pucks once empty. The lather can tolerate a bit of water and lathers up easily to form a very dense and slick cream that is also very stable. It easily lasted a full three pass shave while instilling confidence in me that my skin was well protected. The shave was one of the best I have had in a while and I achieved a mostly BBS shave minus one trouble spot on the neck that was DFS and almost always is. I don't push my luck in that spot as I'm a bit prone to ingrown hairs and have just learned to accept DFS in that area. With that said, the shave was effortless and I felt almost no sting from the alcoholic aftershave splash. The scent is also quite unique, clean and mellow. I don't have the best nose or experience to describe scents in detail but I will say that it is very pleasant and I think it would be hard to dislike.
Overall, an excellent product that I will certainly be re-ordering once finished. This cream is a bit expensive but in my opinion, worth the money. So, if you are in the market for a top notch shaving cream, consider a tub of Baume.be.
