As a woman who likes things “bare down there,” but doesn’t want to go through the pain and intimate procedures required for waxing (yes, I’ll review sex toys, but don’t want to get a bikini wax!), I decided to give Coochy Shave Crème a try. I’ve been looking for a product that will allow me to shave frequently without razor burn. This product did well, but wasn’t everything I’d hoped.

I ordered the Pear Berry scent, which is just absolutely delicious and smelled good enough to eat. (PRODUCT IS NOT EDIBLE, THOUGH, SO DON’T TRY IT!!!). It came in a handy bottle with a pump top that made dispensing easy.

The price on Coochy Crème is a little steep for all-over shaving, so I decided to use it only on my most sensitive areas. Coochy Crème is really more of a shaving lotion than a cream or a foam, however, and you run the risk of it being absorbed into your skin if you don’t use a decent amount.

Coochy Crème did provide a smooth and close shave, though it was not entirely rash-free. After subsequent uses, I’ve decided this product is best used for shaving the fine stubble that accumulates after a couple of days of not shaving. It does reduce razor burn, especially with frequent reapplications, though it may not eliminate it entirely.

One complaint I do have about this product is that, because of its lotion-like consistency, it tends to SERIOUSLY gunk up a razor something awful! Be prepared to use plenty of very hot water to clean your razor; one of those razors with the push-button cleaning mechanism helps, as well.

Coochy Crème also advertises itself as, of all things, a hair conditioner. In the interest of writing a complete review, I decided to give it a whirl. And, to be honest, this product is an AWESOME hair conditioner! I’ve got very long, very thick hair, and this made it soft and smooth and was excellent for detangling! Go figure.

Coochy Shave Crème is a good product, but don’t expect miracles. It will reduce razor burn when used liberally; it’s just a personal decision whether the relatively high cost is worth it. Great hair conditioner, though!

On the advice of Sleeping Dreamer, I tried using less of this product when shaving, and found I had much better results (it didn't 'gunk up' my razor so much). Getting the product to lather also helps tremendously, but can be a challenge. I found that using a dime-sized portion of Coochy with a pea-sized dollop of baby-oil shave gel added in works wonders in producing more lather without reducing the benefits of the Coochy Creme!
