Customer Reviews of Remington SP-5 Pre-Shave Talc Stick Face Saver For all Men's Shavers (Pack of 6)
Customer Review: A lot of products made by the same Swiss company
Summary: 3 Stars
I have been using these sticks for many years and they do a great job of helping to keep your face from getting razor burn from daily shaving. Really fantastic, but......
Remington decided to "improve" the scent. I was revolted when I tried the new ones with the white/red/blue cap. The increase of 'parfum' is too much and just stinks - imho. What used to be a pleasant experience first thing in the morning has turned into a trial. I keep thinking I'll get used to it but I never have. Hmmm.....maybe noseplugs.
I would not recommend buying these in bulk, (as I used to do) until you've tried one to see if you can handle the smell.
After further research looking for a non-scented version, I found that Parks, Eltron, and Remington all seem to come from the same manufacturer in Switzerland. They all have the same smell. However.......
There is a version out there without the scent which is great!
It's called Derma Bloc Pre Shave Powder Stick - it's the same as the others without the intense SMELL.
Customer Review: Thought it was a gimmick!
Summary: 5 Stars
My first thought when I bought a Remington shaver and saw this in the suggested add-on section was "Yeah right. Another gimmick.". But since the shaver was only $20, I needed something to get over $25 to get super saver shipping. I figured what the heck, and added it on. To use it, you just rub this stuff on your face and neck (it smells like talcum powder), then smooth it around your with your finger to make sure you have some everywhere you're going to shave. Turn on your shaver and have at it. Don't worry if a bit gets on you or your shirt collar, it comes right off without staining. You get a very smooth, gliding, clean shave with absolutely no irritation whatsoever. And one bottle lasts for months! I guess for a "gimmick", this one's a winner! It works well with my Remington shaver and that was the claim made in the product description. But I do suggest that you wait until Amazon stocks it again so that it's eligible for Free Super Saver Shipping.Customer Review: Excellent Product
Summary: 5 Stars
I used to use Remington FaceSaver Pre-Shave Powder Stick for years and it was great on my face. Fantastic on reducing razor burn. Then the Swiss company that makes the product added 'parfum', and it just stunk. Big time. I went looking for another powder stick because I relied on these things to save my face as the product name implies. I tried Parks, and then Eltron, which it seems is the same company - both stinky.
This is the winner! Works great without the smell. I ordered it thru Amazon from Shavetronics, and they originally sent the Eltron version. When I called and told them of the error they immediately sent me a corrected order - no questions asked. Couldn't be happier.
The only thing I would say is to clean your shaver after using this or any powder stick. I've got one that you can rinse under the tap after using. If you don't clean it you'll need to replace the blades more frequently which can be costly.
Customer Review: Not as good as the older version

Since I first reviewed this product back in March, I finally found one without the intense smell. It's called Derma Bloc Pre Shave Powder Stick. It's also sold by a great company - Shavetronics, which you can order thru Amazon.
It's great! - and no more noseplugs.
Customer Review: Excellent product.-
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a variation of the classic pre-shave lotion, but in solid form. Main ingredient is parafin, a petroleum destilate grounded to a very fine powder and molded thru extrusion into a solid bar.
Once it touches your face skin it pulverizes again and remains in the skin as a fine lawyer of talc-like powder.
Contrary to apparences it lubricates the skin almost flawlessly. Of course if you press the electric shaver to much it will burn your skin!
Nonetheless this is a high quality product (Made in Switzerland) that is why is rather on the expensive side, but it certanly delivers 100% on its intended use and purpose.
I always keep 5 o 6 bars at one time in stock, because I know it's too good a product before it substituted by a chinese cheaper import.
