Shaving Creams & Gels

Shaving creams, gels and foams for a close, comfortable shave.

Men's shaving creams, gels and foams

The right shaving product is the key to a smooth, comfortable shave. Shaving creams, gels and foams soften stubble, create a protective cushion between blade and skin and help the razor glide, reducing nicks, razor burn and irritation. From traditional Italian lathering creams to clear shave gels for precise beard lines, there's a formula for every skin type and shaving style.

Cream, gel or foam?

• Shaving cream: rich lather with a brush, classic and very protective.
• Shaving gel: smooth glide, often transparent for precise edging.
• Shaving foam: quick and convenient straight from the can.
• Shaving oil: light protection, great under other products for sensitive skin.

How to shave comfortably

1. Soften stubble with warm water for a minute or two.
2. Apply an even layer of cream or gel and let it sit briefly.
3. Shave with the grain using a sharp blade.
4. Rinse with cool water and apply aftershave balm.

Frequently asked questions

Which is best for sensitive skin?

Look for fragrance-free or soothing formulas with ingredients like aloe vera or glycerin.

Do I need a shaving brush?

Not for gels or foams. For traditional creams, a brush creates a richer lather and lifts hairs.
