I like non-foaming gels for shaving. [And, by the way, cold water is a much better way to go than hot water. But I digress.] I've tried a number of the non-foaming gels. Gillette produced one for a nanosecond, then dropped it. King of Shaves Menthol is the best non-foaming gel on the market. I've tried Gillette's erstwhile offering, Nivea, NXT and both of King of Shaves US product offerings.
You can find this product at Target, which is where I first tried it out. There's the 'regular' product for sensitive skin, which is a blue, viscous liquid. Then menthol is green and a bit more expensive. Definitely go for the menthol. It's less viscous, meaning it spreads easier on your face. And it travels better. [The tube exceeds 3 oz, so you'll be squeezing this stuff into a smaller container. The Menthol version of the product comes out of those smaller tubes much easier.] Plus, the Menthol feels great on your face. Zing, zing, zing!
