That’s right, as a shaving cream, and we at Wonderbar couldn’t agree more with their verdict. While some people might have used the bar to shave with, and while it wouldn’t do any harm, we agree wholeheartedly that the Wonderbar just isn’t going to do much in this particular category- even though it’s not soap. You see, the bar does not yield a whole lot of lather, and when you are talking about using it on your face, that’s actually a great thing. The foaming agent in our bar is really mild, and anything stronger would be too harsh for your skin. So, if you are looking for some foam (which you would need to shave your legs), you might look a little further “down the aisle”…the shaving cream aisle that is. Not to mention, as any Wonderbar fanatic will tell you, the light, creamy suds are precious and not to be wasted or thought of as “soap”. Due to the cost, it must be used wisely and consistently, but never casually! We take your skin seriously.
Now as an AFTERshave, that’s a different story. The Wonderbar is known for its cleansing, balancing and detoxifying powers, so if you are still in need of something to combat razor burn and ingrown hairs, we got you covered. This, at least, is what we are hearing from the male clientele (very loudly I might add, they are obsessed!). The thing one must remember, though, is that in order for this product to produce results, no matter where you use it, it must be left to penetrate the skin for at least 3-5 minutes and this must be done outside of the shower…where it can dry.
So, in summary, Allure nailed it when they concluded that it did not test well as a shaving foam. It is pH-balanced (5.65) and made with high-quality ingredients, so please use it as a treatment, anyplace you feel you need a little healing, balancing and gentle detoxification. This is where the real value in the Wonderbar lies. We hope that any past and future clients will heed Allure’s message…it is an accurate one indeed!
