Cremo Original Shave Cream - 6 fl oz

So I've been a long-time double-edge (DE) shaver for 15+ years - using a brush, lathering up with formulas designed for that shaving style. Recently, as an experiment, I tried abandoning the brush and going with Cremo's product. Mind you, I am using one of the most thrilling DE shaving combinations you can find - the ultra-aggressive Zomchi razor (available for a bargain price on Amazon) and the feared, mighty Feather DE blade from Japan. Expecting a bloodbath from the lack of brush-based lather, the Cremo (massaged well into my beard, with a bit of extra water) / Zomchi / Feather combination absolutely incinerated multiple days of growth, with nary a weeper or cut. In fact, the aggressiveness of the razor/blade combo - of course, using the correct angle (razor handle sticking out) and the most gentle touch possible - has consistently delivered all-star results, even with multiple day shaves. Two passes with this product/blade/razor mesh is plenty. And I could easily get by with one pass - and I have one of the darkest, roughest whisker/face combinations out there. I actually tried the Cremo with a brush, but a lot of the product was left in the brush itself. Use your fingers - my advice - and work it all in. Apply another layer if you opt for a second pass, but use less product. You won't need it due to the residual slickness of the Cremo product. Cremo team - I won't forget how you took my already enjoyable DE shaving routine and unleveled it, eliminating (for me) the need for a brush. Fellow shavers, proceed with caution if you opt for the Feather/Zomchi mix - you will literally see multi-day or week whiskers disappear in the first pass, and you have to tread lightly.

I have been a Cremo user for 15+ years because it's the best. Yesterday I bought a refill and noticed you changed both the package design and the product inside. Changing the package is no big deal, but changing your original formula is only a good idea if you improved it. **BUT, YOU DID NOT** It was downgraded. Watered down. Please forward my comment to your CEO. This was a mistake. You have taken 100% loyal customers and encourged them to look elsewhere for a new product.

I used the original Cremo, loved the original!My wife recently brought me the new original citrus scent. Yuk, I ended up tossing it. At least bring back the original for customers.

I’ve used the classic formula for years. With the package rebranding, and the formulation change, I will start to look elsewhere for a product that is similar to what you used to make. Thank you for years of comfortable shaving, but I will not remain customer if this is what the future holds. This is your version of “new Coke”.

Please bring back the original and the travel size tubes. I have a few of the 1 oz travel size left to compare to the current "Classic Citrus." The Classic Citrus is okay but thinner and inferior to the original. The current 6 oz tubes also are too large to meet TSA requirements for carry-on luggage. I don't know why the company made these changes last year but they were definitely not with its customers' best interests in mind.

I’m not happy with this “original” since it went citrus. You had the best and got rid of it. I’m using the sensitive now and not as good, not as creamy, and watered down. I’m disappointed beyond belief. Why?

I have used this shave cream for years and it was my favorite. It seems they have changed the formula and now is mediocre at best. Please go back to the original formula!

If you've never tried Cremo before, you will love it. There is no other shaving product that beats it, in my opinion (based on 50+ years of shaving). That said, the original product (which deserved a 5 rating) has been modified, and not in a good way. The original had no fragrance -- this version has a strong citrus scent. Also, it's apparently no longer available in the 1oz/30ml size -- perfect for travel. Bring back the real Original Classic, and make it available in 1oz TSA-friendly size!!! Then it's back to a 5+

My husband finally found a shave cream he liked when he bought the original formula earlier this year. He went to try to buy more and it's no longer available. He tried the new citrus "original" and it is awful. I tried it on my legs so as not to waste it, and it really is awful. Watery and smells putrid, like rotting grapefruits. Horrible choice to change formula. He used to smell so good after shaving. We will be back on the search for a good shaving cream again... What a disappointment.

This is not the original so why call it “original”? The previous product was much better.

Long time user of Cremo. Have sensitive skin and have Always used the Original. Bring back the Original! The new and improved is more expensive and lower quality with a different scent. Poor decision! Should have kept the original and bring out a new Citris scent if you wanted to but don’t change the formulation! Reminds me of the New Coke from many years ago! If you are going to make changes how about a 3 oz size for travel! A no brainer!

Way to ruin a flawless product, the "Original" is now "Original Citrus" there's literally nothing original about it anymore, not the name nor the product. The actual original was smoother, thicker, and didn't dry out in seconds. Because it's thinner you end up having to use more, and then you're spending more. I'll be looking for an alternative brand.

The "original citrus" is NOT the same as the actual original "concentrated" version. I still have some of the old cream and it is much thicker, has a soapy scent, and has slightly different ingredients. I've tried several other versions of Cremo and they all irritate my skin. I used the concentrated for years, it's a bummer that I have to look for a new shave cream.

Been a Cremo customer since 2018 and tried several scents but keep coming back to the Classic. I picked up a tube of the "new" Classic and boy have things gone downhill. Runny, new bad scent and not as lubricating. I see why you took the "90 Day Supply" off of the packaging. I'm not sure this will last 30 days and I will probably toss it in the trash before week's end. Why did you fix something that wasn't broken? Instead of gaining a percent or two in extra profit you lost all of the profit from this customer.

I wanted to change shaving creams and I saw this and thought I would give it a try. WOW! It is "Astonishingly" slick! My razor just glided across my face for a super smooth, clean shave! And a very light citrus scent. And I won't waste any cream, like I did with my other brand. Very good product!

I have been an evangelist about Cremo and shared it with dozens of friends and to say I am disappointed in the new “original” scent and formula is the understatement of the year. Why in the world would you change? This is a “New Coke” level screw up and whoever did this should be fired. I won’t spend a nickel for Cremo products until the original scent and formula are back in the shelves. If I could rate this Zero stars I would.

This was a horrible decision to change the Original Formula to whatever this new Classic Citrus is. It does not come close to the Original Formula in any way. Very disappointed in this change to a product I felt was perfect. Please bring the Original back.

This used to be a great product. I’ve been buying it for maybe 10 years. But something changed when the packaging changed. It’s not as thick, not as rich, you have to use more, and it doesn’t last as long. It seems watered down in what I can assume was a bad decision to make it more cheaply, and it shows. (Whoever made the decision must not actually use the product.) It’s still ok, but nothing special and I’ll no longer buy it. There is more competition and choice than ever in men’s shaving and this brand is no longer special or relevant. :-(

I bought this product a few years ago after Gillette stopped making their extremely similar advanced shave cream. Cremo’s texture was extremely thick and was not irritating. Lo and behold I went to the store the other day to resupply and these idiots have changed the formula of an excellent product. This new formula is watery and smells weird. It also 100% gives me pimples. I wonder if there’s a comedogenic grease that they added or maybe a bacterial contamination in this new garbage product.

Best shave I have ever experienced in 80 years of shaving!
