I have always been a fan of HeadSlick. The concentrated cream, with just a touch of added water once applied, always provided just the right lubrication and protection for a clean, nick-free, shave. I'd was a bit apprehensive when I saw that my old HeadSlick had become a new Mentholated formulation. To my delight, the new is better than the great old. The shave is cleaner on the first pass, and the nick-protection is as, or more, effective. Great Job HeadBlade in taking the Good and besting it.
