Stinky shave cream alternative

[rnesin]

Know how you don't want your cards to smell like manly Barbasol if you're using the shaving cream technique? I found some cucumber melon Barbasol that's a really good smell for most cards! I'll save regular Barbasol for the men's birthdays! (Like I'm gonna send a guy acard with a swirly background...who knows, right?)

Most other nice-smelling shave stuff is gel, so this was a nice switch.

Thanks for the heads up. Need to go see if anyone sells it here. I love the tech but hate the smell. Ok, so I kinda like it at first or at least it doesn't bother me much but after a couple of hours I am ready to toss the paper.

I use Gillette lime scented. You can find it in a bright green can. It smells yummy!

I have heard that the Equate brand that Walmart sells has little to no smell at all and it is inexpensive. Haven't tried it myself yet but hope to soon.

Good to know - I hate that "manly" smell on my cards.
Beware...gel does work nicely, but if you use the pink colored gel, it will put a light pink tint on your c/s. LOL
I was experimenting one day and was really wanting to get away from my DH's "smelly" stuff. My DDs loved it!

I love the equate stuff from Walmart! It has almost no smell & is sooooo much better than barbasol. Unfortunately, when I ran out at stamp camp & sent DH to get some, he bought 4 cans of barbasol! :shock: He refuses to go to walmart. :twisted: Even for sweet me! :lol:
