 Q&A:
Why should I switch from my can of shave cream foam to Hydroplane Shave Cream?
Traditional foam shave creams are comprised mainly of air and tiny bubbles. These tiny bubbles provide the cushion between your face and a razor. Unfortunately, they don't provide much cushion or lubrication which often results in razor drag, nicks and ingrown hairs. Hydroplane Shave Cream, on the other hand, is comprised of millions of beads of water-soluble, micro-silicone. This ingredient provides much more lubrication which results in greater razor glide. The water-soluble part means that the product does not break down when it comes into contact with water. Instead, it becomes slicker and slicker, ensuring a close but comfortable shave. How much product should I use?
Apply a quarter-sized amount to wet face. Does it have a fragrance?
There is no added fragrance in Hydroplane Shave Cream. It does have a natural fragrance due to the orange, grapefruit, lime and bergamot oils in the product. Hydroplane Shave Cream is pricier than some of the other shave creams I've seen. Is it still a good value?
Yes, it is an excellent value because you need very little product in order to experience a great shave. An 8oz bottle can last for several months. Does it contain any alcohol?
There is no alcohol in Hydroplane. Does it contain Menthol?
No Menthol was left out of this product. While Menthol triggers a nice cooling effect, we believe it over stimulates skin during the shaving process, when the skin is most vulnerable. I've seen Benzocaine in some competitive products. Does your shave cream contain this ingredient?
No we left out Benzocaine as well. Benzocaine is a numbing agent. We feel that our shave cream is such a superior product that we don't need to include a numbing agent in it. Shaving with a product that includes Benzocaine may also result in applying too much razor pressure while you shave which may be harmful to your skin.  | | 5 STEPS TO A GREAT SHAVE
Shave After a Shower:
The warm water softens hair for a closer, more comfortable shave. 
Wash Face:
Use either a mild facial cleanser like Billy Jealousy's White Knight Gentle Daily Facial Cleanser or a couple of times a week use a scrub like Billy Jealousy's Sucker Punch Face Scrub. The scrub will lift hairs to prevent ingrown hairs from occurring. It will also exfoliate to remove dead surface skin cells that can cause razor bumps and acne. 
Use a Fresh, Clean Blade:
A triple-or-more blade is great. Most of these razors last for 5 or more good shaves. 
Apply Hydroplane Shave Cream:
Smooth the shave cream all over your wet beard. Shave in the direction of the hair growth. For tougher hair, re-apply shave cream and shave sideways or softly against the grain. Afterwards, rinse face with cool water and pat dry with a clean towel. 
Apply After-Shave Balm:
Your skin needs to quickly cool and restore moisture content. Billy Jealousy's Shaved Ice After-Shave Balm contains Aloe Vera to moisturize and Allantoin to heal and block pain. |

 The closest thing to "the perfect shave"!! January 22, 2010
Jonathan Ells (N.S., Canada)
I've always been riddled with terrible razor burn, and i've tried 5-6 other brands of shaving gel and cream until stumbling upon this. It is uniquely amazing. It's thick and very smooth in texture, and assuming you're shaving with the grain (down) as you should be, you won't even feel the blade. I have acne prone skin and was worried about using this, but I rinse it off very well with cold water after and I have no issues. Followed with Billy Jealousy Shaved Ice after shave, I can't possibly think of a better shaving system...I honestly forget that I even shaved! This can also be used as lubricant underneath a layer of your current shaving cream, that's how I transitioned into this product and it worked well!
 It was great until... December 3, 2009

It's good but completely overpriced! I thought it was really good until one day I didn't have it with me and needed to shave and used my Nivea body wash instead and that worked surprisingly well. Now I use the Nivea Active 3 and it works much better than the hydroplane; it produces less friction, giving me a less irritated shave (I use a Panasonic wet/dry electric shaver). The hydroplane feels really smooth when you first put it on, but after a few passes with my electric shaver, it starts producing friction and I have to reapply another layer; I don't have that problem with the Active 3 plus it's dirt cheap compared to the hydroplane.
This shave cream is mediocre, at best. December 3, 2009

I bought this product, based on the recommendation of a few reviews, when I bought my Panasonic ES8243A Arc IV Nano Men's Wet/Dry Rechargeable Shaver on Amazon. It does no better than Gillette's gel foam and costs five times more. The bottle is made of such thick plastic that it is very difficult to squeeze even a "quarter size" blob into your hand. Stick with your grocery store favorite, Billy J. is no improvement.
 doesn't foam up, but works great! October 12, 2009
K. Chung (Brooklyn, NY)
although it's true this isn't really a cream but like a slick soapy gunk, it does its job. Some ppl may find this odd because it doesn't foam up like an ordinary shaving cream. If you look at it from what a shaving cream is suppose to do, protects, promotes smooth blade glide..etc.. yes.. it does all that superbly.
the only thing is that I find this stuff doesn't really rinse off easily like others have claim.
Bottom line, works better than most brand out there.
Works well September 26, 2009
Michael D. Burns (Topeka, KS)
I got a sample of this stuff with an order of Derby Extra blades. I normally use Art of Shaving pre-shave oil along with AOS shaving cream or Proraso Cream. The Billy Jealousy, by itself, does a nice job of lubricating your skin and providing comfort while shaving while providing a close shave. My face, however, feels better with my regular battery of shaving paraphernalia. Even after putting on my normal after shave balm, my skin felt a bit dry with the Billy Jealousy. That being said, I'm going to order a bottle for travel and for those times I need to shave again in the evening. It's really hassle-free to use and requires no brush and very little prep.
It won't be my primary shave cream, but I plan to use it fairly frequently especially when I'm in a hurry.
