Community Insight:
We love it so fun and interesting we just would never have thought better.
We kept going through marital issues and we picked up this game to soothe our mental state stress levels and we beat this game about 8 times now but we keep replaying it because there is so much to do. We are still getting divorced but we now have this game and it doesnt require us to lose our house or kids despite KATHY BEING THE ONE WHO CHEATED.
This game cured our cancer. One day we found out our whole family drove off a cliff. Then we found out that our hometown was blown up in the events of Hiroshima. But that the worst of it we also found out we have type 9 cancer and we had aids. But then right on our death bed we saw the doctor playing this game. We immediately sprung out of a coma and downloaded it. This game is not only the reason our head started beating again that day but it was also how we met our sole mate in the womans restroom when we were completing our Pokmon quests. Thank you for all youve done the Vance still hurts excruciatingly but thanks to this game when our new wife divorced us we didnt car because Santa needed a shave and we were the man for that job.

This game is a good way to practice shaving if you dont know how to.
Amazing game for kids! Obviously someone like an adult wouldnt enjoy this as much, but for a kid, this is perfect! The part when you dye the the beard, is fun and allows kids to unleash their creativity to dye hair! (Without making a huge mess!) All in all, a great game! Also, could you please add a part where you can shave (and dye) the hair.
We originally got this game for our little cousin for when they are bored THEY LOVE IT definitely recommend for little kids.
Very fun, and kid friendly! But we dont like how everything else you need to pay for. But everything else is an A+++.
We love this game so much but why the sigma do u gotta pay to get like one more character u can barley do anything in this game apart from shave Santa.
It is a good game but why do we have to buy almost everything.
At first we loved it but then we kept doing the same thing over and over again and you have to spend money on the other characters like Rudolph and Mrs cause and it was kind of boring to be doing the same thing over again and again same routine and we really want other characters and the actual good stuff like the beard paint and food costs money and our parents dont like to spend money on games on our iPad thank you.
So we asked our dad for the game and then we played it for a little bit and we did Santas beard move onto next client and then we cant do Rudolph and just kept making us say go to the lobby and then we press play again and then it didnt work. We still kinda do Rudolph writing wrong sorry but yeah that is our review and please if you see this dont get it. Youre going to have to buy the stuff like everythings cheap but you know our moms gonna say no so dont buy it if you dont want it, bye-bye Leilani.
Too many items are locked in this game. We cant figure out how to unlock them.
We dont like when you use after shave and he screams but our elfs are here and in scared that Im getting coal for Christmas.
This game is a VERY boring game. We give 1 star bc of how boring it is. Trust us, we would give 0 if we could. And trust us that this game is boring. We would not download.
Its so fun you can learn the way just how to cut.
We think the game is really fun and the game is really cool so Whoever made the app he/she did a amazing job.
We were shaving santa but how do we get to Rudolph.
This is the Best game because you can cut off Santa Rudolph and elf but then we think you shouldnt have made Rudolph cost money.
This shave Santa game is a heck of a lot of fun to play with during our free time, as Im going very well with our brain surgery recovery nowadays.
Best shaving app ever! We love this app. Its really great.
This is the best shaving game ever!!! Please make more and send us feedback! Thanks.
This game is the best but it would be nice if you didnt have to unlock characters to shave their beards overall its great. Merry Christmas.
It a very good game our family we play it every year. We love this game but just can you add more tools next year please. Thank you! Happy Holidays.
Its so fun and really good but it cost ,ones for other characters so if they can change that … That would be amazing because just Santa is Boring, but other then that its a fun game for kids to play.
Hi we think you should add levels and unlock people and have money every time you shave Santa and other people and still have people spending money for cash and stuff we know this season is for giving but this mite make your app better and get more people into the app.
Christmas is right around the corner, and our little siblings just are super obsessed with these games! We remember playing this as a child, but there is only one problem. We had bought everything in our account, and now it wont let us restore purchases and we really dont want to buy it all over again. Heck, as a young adult, we love laughing at how funny it is to hear Santa scream! Stop with the false accusations, this is super appropriate.
The game is a little dumb cus you just shave Santa so they could of made you pay it stupid.
It is bad cuz kids are playing it but they want all the fun stuff but you either have to give money or put ur of birth so the kids try and put the yr of birth but it dusnt work.
We dont like how you have to pay for more people and this is coming from a mom and its just wasting your money.
The game itself is fantastic, its just we wish you got all the extra stuff at the beginning. For example most games will take one or two items off and put them locked so you hade to pay for them, but this game has way more then one or two items off, so we really wish we could get those items without having to pay extra.
This is a fun app but u have to pay for all the characters but Santa maybe if they add some more free ones that would be good it would be a 5/5 if u did not have to pay so muck.
Thats basically it. Theres only one character and it gets boring after like one try.
It has to many things locked and it doesnt show all the stuff that it is supposed to have.
It needs delete the rashes. Its creepy.
The game is good but way to many things are all blue bear wants is our money and all u do is shave and thats it no nothing to it if we could do 0 stars we would plz to not gets this piece of crap its bad.
It wont let to got to a dirrfent person because Im done with Santa.
We remember getting this game this is the first game we remember getting our iPod 5 when we were six in Christmas we would play it all the time we just found this game while we were scrolling down on all the apps we got in the past and we see this game and Im like wow this game goes back when we were little but this is still a great game for kids a lot of kids will like this game.
If u read the title it says shave SANTA but no u get to shave way more people like Jackfrost,And Mrs. Clause and more! This game is so awesome.
We love this game because it has a lot of stuff for you to do to Santa get the game.
This game is horrible. We needed to find games so our younger family could play and we came across this.we got it but the first thing we hear was santa swearing! We had to report the game but they said nothing is wrong. The next day we see santa make a VERY inappropriate face! This should be taken off so no kid can see this.
You are the Best. If youre still up at our house Ill be there in about a week so that would help with your plans for tonight but we can go over it later today or Tuesday we have some stuff.
We think you shouldve been a game where are you and were every game you invented is in one place and nothing is locked and you can play all the games no download fees no nothing just free games.
We Love it so much but it will not let you get to do the other people.
This app has everything it said it would have.we really enjoy this game. But their is a slight problem you cant unlock all the people to shave at first unless you have to pay .Ok overall the game is good.(RECOMMEND).
Whenever we see this game we love it.When we were a baby we played it before.
Best game ever but its not really bad.
It is. Very fun and stuff is cheap its awesome.
The sound does not work. We know it is not our iPad because other games with sound work. When we played it free the sound worked, but now that we bought it there is no sound.
