Product #6 - Men's Shaving Gel:
Today I am reviewing and comparing the Edge Brand's Sensitive Skin Shaving Gel to Target's Up and Up Store Brand's Men's Shaving Gel Sensitive Skin with Aloe. Both products are very similar however my husband says that the Up and Up brand doesn't lather up quite as well. It does moisturize quite well though he says and other than the lathering, he doesn't notice a difference. I think the packaging on the Up and Up brand isn't quite as nice. The plastic "button" on the top that you press to release the gel seems cheaply made, like it could break easily. However, my husband believes that these two issues are not enough to keep him from switching from the name brand to the store brand and therefore, we will be switching to the Up and Up brand as the savings are great.
The Cost Comparison: Edge Men's Shaving Gel Sensitive Skin to Target's Up and Up Men's Shaving Gel Sensitive Skin with Aloe (prices as of 2/18/11 at Target):
Edge (7oz): 1.97
Up and Up (8.75oz): .98
The Up and Up shave gel costs approx. .11 / oz and the Edge costs approx. .28 / oz. Therefore, the Up and Up is a much better buy and in my opinion, worth the switch.
