8 Best Shaving Creams That Will Guarantee a Great Shave
In a hurry? Check out our top choice:
Getting a close shave comes down to two important tools – your razor and your shaving cream. There are other factors, such as shaving technique, the texture of your hair, even your own attention span, but those aren’t nearly as important as the razor and the cream.
We’ve talked about razors and blades in previous posts, so now it’s time to look at shave cream. A quality cream can be the difference between a great shave and a shave that’s just “meh.”
Because we don’t want you to ever have a bad shaving experience, we’re here to help with our reviews of the best shaving cream for men in 2020.
We start with a favorite from the United Kingdom – the Taylor of Bond Street Sandalwood Shaving Cream – and work our way through a list we think will help you get the quality shave you deserve.
Let’s get started.

Before you buy: 3 Things to consider when purchasing shave creamIt’s easy to grab any old shave cream off the grocery store shelf. Perhaps you check the scent, see if it’s good for sensitive skin (or whatever your skin type), and check the price tag. It’s not so easy, however, if you’re serious about finding a quality shave cream such as the ones we list in this review. Here are some things to consider: 1. Type of skinBase you shaving cream on the type of skin you have. Most men have one of three types – sensitive, oily, and dry. If you have sensitive skin, avoid shaving creams that have an astringent of any kind. But it’s OK to use cream with astringent if you have an oily face because it reduces the oil and prevents your pores from clogging. If you have dry skin, make sure the cream you choose has a glycerin base. Glycerin helps provide a foundation that allows your blade to glide over your face without causing nicks and cuts. 2. Ingredients (to avoid)What’s in your shaving cream is an important factor, as well. Here are some ingredients to avoid:
Let’s cut to the chase – parabens = trouble. What else can you say about something that linked to a variety of ailments, including asthma and allergies? They’re used in skin care products to prevent bacteria growth but … you can do without them just fine.
It sounds like the acronym for a spy agency, but SLS stands for Sodium Lauryl Sulfate. While it’s supposed to clean up your skin when applied directly, it also strips away the natural oils found on your skin. Plus, SLS stays in your body for up to 5 days.
SLES is used to reduce the side effects of petroleum-based products but also may cause some serious side effects – such as organ toxicity, for starters.
Yes, fragrance. You’ll find it most skin care products, so it’s hard to avoid, but “fragrance” is a term used for over 3,000 chemicals. Avoid it if you can. 3. Ingredients (to include)Shaving creams with natural ingredients such as oils – jojoba, almond, etc. – are better for your face. They’re not oily, and they evaporate quickly on your skin. Also, look for creams with essential oils, such as sandalwood, eucalyptus, lavender, rose, and more. They’re good for your skin and leave a pleasant, natural scent. Now that we’ve covered some buying tips, it’s time to dig into our shaving cream reviews. The 8 best shaving creams for men 20201. Taylor of Old Bond Street Sandalwood Shaving Cream
