Formula

What makes a good shave

✓Fatty-acid soaps, such as stearic acid with an alkali, create rich, cushioning lather in a classic cream.
✓Gels use a thickener and mild surfactants for glide.
✓Glycerin and plant oils lubricate the razor path.
✓Soothing ingredients such as aloe, allantoin and panthenol calm the skin.
✓Menthol or camphor-like cooling agents give a fresh feel, but too much stings.
Claims

Razor burn and nicks

Always include a patch-test and avoid-eyes warning on the pack.

How we develop it

How we develop a shaving cream

We make a cream and a gel so you can judge lather and glide on a real shave.

We tune thickness for squeezing from a tube.

Good to know

Shaving Cream: common questions

What is the difference between a shaving cream and a shaving foam?

A cream is applied from a tube or jar and lathered. Foam comes from an aerosol can with gas.

Can you fill aerosol foam?

Ask us at the brief stage. Aerosol filling needs separate equipment and approvals.

Can I make a menthol shaving cream?

Yes, at a level that cools without stinging.

Can the cream be used without a brush?

A brushless cream is designed for that.
