"We know men's attitudes toward grooming are changing. Guys want to look their best, but they don't want to spend all day doing it or deal with skin irritation along the way," said Jeffrey C. Wolf, senior brand manager for Edge at Energizer Personal Care. "We created the Edge Body and Edge Ultimate products to help give men the opportunity to feel great and express their individual styles without sacrificing their skin or their time."

It helps keep skin feeling smooth and comfortable with every shave, so men never have to choose between irritated skin and unwanted body hair.  Edge Body shave cream is available in two refreshing formulations, Edge  Renew™ and Edge Recharge™.
