Default Kiss my face

Hi, does anyone know anything about the Kiss My Face brand? i was wondering if this product would be good for use with a straight because i know it supposedly is good for DE razors. Does anyone know what i am talking about?

Sure, folks will know what you're talking about. Kiss My Face is a good shaving product to use with a straight or any other shaving device (Well, maybe not so good with an electric ). I have the lavender and mint. The scents are there but not really strong. It lathers up well and stays moist on the face. I don't know if it's numero uno on anyone's list, but I'll bet it appears on a few people's top 10 list. The one criticism I've seen a few times on the product concerns the packaging -- the tube looks like toothpaste and has given some folks a jolt in the morning when they mistakenly put it on their toothbrush.

KMF is a very good cream for the money. The one characteristic that stands out to me is that it is the most tolerant of water proportions of any of the creams I've tried. You have to have a LOT of water before it turns into useless lather. TOBS Shaving Shop is still my favorite cream though.

I have 3 differnet scents of KMF. I love the creams and they work just as well (if not better) then a number of your high end creams. Best thing about KMF is the price!! can't beat it.

One think I love about KMF is how lubricating it is: far more so than any other cream or soap I've tried (though I've only tried a handful). I think this might have something to do with having very hard water where I live (NYC).

Usually, as I'm building a lather, I'll add a bit of unscented KMF to whatever soap or cream I'm using that day. It really helps a lot. Sometimes I'll use it alone, and then it's very slick indeed.

This might sound strange, but try - at least once - using it without a brush. Just rub it into your face with a bit of water with your fingers. It doesn't build a proper lather, of course, but it does provide a very smooth, slick surface. Incredibly comfortable shaves.

If you like it, they do sell it in larger pump bottles - cheaper for the amount you get, and harder to confuse with toothpaste!

Default Haven't seen much on this lately

I knew there were some KMF (Kiss My Face) threads buried in here, I just re-stocked my supply this weekend... This is one of the best buys out there for creams, really, really, excellent when used alone and FANFREAKINGTASTIC in Uberlather
If you haven't tried this stuff you owe it to yer self to try it out and the price is still downright cheap....
They have Lavender, Vanilla, Patchoulli, Cool Mint and Unscented up in this area but I have heard of other scents out there....
