An Old School Shaving Cream Is The Key To A Smooth Shave

Kiehl’s have been in the game for over a century and it shows. The Kiehl’s Ultimate Brushless Shave Cream White Eagle is a fuss-free shaving cream that quite simply gets the job done. A little goes a long way with this cream formula, with the scents of menthol and camphor leaving your skin feeling refreshed and rejuvinated.

For those who enjoy a rich, lathering shaving cream, Clinique For Men Cream Shave fits the bill, leaving skin feeling smooth, supple, and comfortable after the act.

A multipurpose product, the Jack Black Beard Lube Conditioning Shave is a lightweight formula that works as a pre-shave oil, shaving cream, and post-shave conditioner. Utilising a blend of moisturising plant oils and refreshing botanicals like peppermint, menthol, and eucalyptus, this fatty acid-rich formula keeps skin feeling supple and free from razor burn and irritation.

Scented with sandalwood, patchouli, vetiver, and neroli, the Claus Porto Musgo Real Classic Scent Shaving Cream transforms shaving from a chore into a ritual. Plus, it contains lanolin and plant oils to moisturise your beard and the skin beneath it, promoting an easier, smoother shave.

A gel iteration, the wallet-friendly Bulldog Original Shave Gel contains essential oils, jojoba oil, and aloe vera to ensure a clean shave.

Both your dad and grandad are likely familiar with this one. And for good reason; legacy shaving brand Proraso never fails to make high-quality grooming products on a budget. With notes of musk, spicy amber, and fern, the Proraso Blue Shaving Cream feels far more luxe than its $15 price tag would suggest.

This gel formula harnesses the anti-bacterial power of tea tree oil to protect against irritation while nourishing glycerin and aloe vera work to keep your face moisturised and hydrated.

Working to soften and lift facial hair follicles for a smooth shave, the Grown Alchemist Shaving Gel is packed with antioxidants and peptides to ensure supple skin protect against irritation and razor burn. Plus, the sandalwood and sage scent is a sensory treat.

There’s always one who wants to be a bit different. As suggested by its name, the Aesop Moroccan Neroli Shaving Serum is a serum-like formula, akin to a thin gel. A hydrating blend of botanicals and panthenol (vitamin B5) works to facilitate a close shave without drying the skin out.

An old-school shaving cream with a plant-based formula, the Le Labo Shaving Cream is made with sage, chamomile, and coconut to tone, soothe, and nourish skin respectively. Like all Le Labo products, the scent never fails to impress, with a fresh blend of bergamot and lavender mingling with cooling violet and tonka bean.

While we don’t advocate judging a product solely based on its packaging, we’ll make an exception for this beauty. Thankfully, the formula performs as well as the exterior that houses it, with sweet almond oil and burnt hinoki wood working to create a luxurious formula suitable for even the most sensitive skin.
