All-Natural Moisturizer: Burt's Bees Natural Skin Care for Men Aftershave
Burt's Bees Natural Skin Care for Men Aftershave Ingredients List
Overall Rating: ★★★★★
Price: $ (under $10) – Available at Burt’s Bees, Drugstore.com, and CVS.
Scent: Mildly masculine blend of bergamot, orange, patchouli, fir, and rosemary.
I like: the lotion’s gentleness, light consistency, all natural ingredients, mild scent, and versatility – it works as an aftershave/moisturizer. Not tested on animals.
Not a fan of: nothing.
Burt’s Bees Natural Skin Care for Men Aftershave works well on practically any skin type. Just because the packaging says “aftershave” doesn’t mean you can’t use it as an everyday moisturizer – it’s versatile, though you’ll need to apply a facial sunscreen with this product if you’re going out during the day . Because the lotion is 100% natural, it is ideal for those with sensitive skin who tend to breakout when using products with synthetic fragrances. The subtle, naturally masculine scent is just right – it’s a blend of bergamot, lemon, orange, patchouli, fir, and rosemary. If you’ve been using synthetic or alcohol-based aftershaves, now is the time for you to transition to more natural alternatives. Start by trying this great moisturizer.

Dr. Bronner’s Organic Spearmint Peppermint Shaving Soap Gel
Dr. Bronner’s Organic Spearmint Peppermint Shaving Soap Gel Ingredients List
Overall Rating: ★★★★☆
Price: $ (under $10) – Available at Dr. Bronner’s and The Vitamin Shoppe.
Scent: Blend of peppermint and spearmint.
I Like: how natural this product is. The scent is refreshing, but not overpowering.
Not a fan of: the thin texture.
Dr. Bronner’s Organic Spearmint Peppermint Shaving Gel is the most natural shave gel/cream I have ever used. It doesn’t contain any synthetic ingredients. The gel’s brown color may turn off some people, but this is only superficial and does not affect performance. The shave gel has a thin consistency and does not really lather up, which makes it especially ideal for wet shaving. Try this product out if you can’t stand using obnoxious-smelling shave gels loaded with artificial ingredients.

Great Value: The Real Shaving Company Shave Cream Sensitive Formula
Overall Rating: ★★★★☆
Price: $ (under $10) – Available at The Real Shaving Company and Rite Aid stores.
Scent: Pine with a hint of citrus.
Benefits: Thick texture allows for a comfortable shave; does not over-dry the skin; great value.
Drawbacks: Those with sensitive noses may find the scent a bit strong.
The Real Shaving Company’s Sensitive Formula Shave Cream is an exceptional value. It outperforms some higher-end brands that cost three to four times as much. The cream has a wonderfully thick texture that allows for a close, comfortable shave. A little goes a long way. I enjoyed its unique masculine scent – pine slightly infused with citrus. However, some with sensitive noses may find the smell a bit strong. This shave cream is definitely worth a try.

Malin + Goetz Vitamin E Shaving Cream
Malin + Goetz Vitamin E Shaving Cream Texture
Overall Rating: ★★★★★
Price: $$$ ($20-$30) 4 oz. tube – Available at Malin+Goetz, Grooming Lounge, and Barneys New York.
Scent: Menthol.
I liked: how cooling and invigorating it felt – no other shave cream comes close in this department. It rinsed easily off the blade and did not dry out my skin.
I didn’t like: Nothing. However, the major cooling sensation and price tag may take some getting used to.
It felt as if my face was in the Arctic when I used the Malin + Goetz Vitamin E Shaving Cream. I have never experienced a more cooling shave cream. The menthol really packs a powerful punch – ideal for those mornings when you need a little help waking up. Because this shave cream doesn’t really lather up it didn’t over-dry my skin – I’m sure the extra boost of vitamin e doesn’t hurt. Unlike some thick creams out there, this one didn’t clog up my razor cartridge – which I greatly appreciate since they cost a fortune to replace. Four ounces of this frigid goodness will cost you $22 – worth trying if you’re man enough to face its chill.
