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.

Burt’s Bees Natural Skin Care For Men Shave Cream
Burts Bees Natural Skin Care For Men Shave Cream Ingredients List
Overall Rating: ★★★★☆
Price: $ (under $10) – Available at Burt’s Bees, Drugstore.com, and CVS .
Scent: Natural earthy blend of patchouli, bergamot, rosemary, and calendula.
I Liked: the scent as well as the product’s purity.
I didn’t like: the shave cream’s thin consistency.
Burt’s Bees Natural Skin Care For Men Shave Cream smells wonderful, reminiscent of the scents in some Aveda products. This 100% natural cream contains a calming blend of a variety of essential oils and extracts including patchouli, bergamot, rosemary, fir, chamomile, and calendula. In addition to smelling great, this cream soothes while you shave and does not over-dry your skin. It’s more of an everyday shave cream – I suggest using this product on lighter, one-to-two day beard growth. The cream’s relatively thin consistency may not be ideal for shaving a thicker, heavier beard.

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.

Kiehl's Ultimate Mens After Shave Balm and Moisturizer
Kiehl's Ultimate Mens After Shave Balm and Moisturizer (Texture)
Overall Rating: ★★★★☆
Price: $$ ($10-$20) – Available at Kiehl’s, Nordstrom, and Barneys New York.
Scent: Light menthol, slightly medicinal.
I liked: the cream’s richness – you only need to apply a small amount. This product did a great job at soothing and moisturizing my face after shaving. Enjoyed the light menthol fragrance. Contains a number of beneficial ingredients including avocado oil, sesame seed oil, vitamin E, and cocoa butter.
I didn’t like: the paraben preservatives.
Kiehl’s Ultimate Mens After Shave Balm and Moisturizer won me over as soon as I tried it. I enjoyed how rich and thick this balm felt. Natural ingredients such as avocado oil, sesame seed oil, olive oil, and cocoa butter helped to instantly soothe and moisturize my skin post-shave. Because the cream is so rich, you only need to apply a small amount. The light traces of menthol and camphor felt subtly invigorating. You can use this product any time, day or night – not just after shaving. This cream works particularly well in cold and/or dry weather.

Kiehl's Ultimate Brushless Shave Cream - White Eagle
Kiehl's Ultimate Brushless Shave Cream - White Eagle (texture)
Overall Rating: ★★★★★
Price: $ (under $10 – 2.5 fl. oz. tube) – Available at Kiehl’s, Nordstrom, and Bloomingdale’s.
Scent: Light menthol and camphor.
I liked: how the shave cream protected my face from cuts and razor burn. The blend of menthol and camphor was cool but not overpowering.
I didn’t like: the paraben preservatives.
I was really impressed by how well Kiehl’s Ultimate Brushless Shave Cream (White Eagle) protected my face from getting nicked and irritated. My skin felt moisturized throughout the entire shaving process. Not once did I feel the razor “dragging” across my face. The cream’s light cooling sensation felt both soothing and invigorating. I highly recommend trying out this product if you are unhappy with your current shave cream or gel. Kiehl’s also offers an unscented “Blue Eagle” version for those with sensitive skin.
