Lather up with our signature Sandalwood Shaving Cream to nourish skin and avoid irritating skin.
Skip the canned foams and gels. They rely on air and alcohol for volume—ours relies on craft. The result: a rich, nourishing lather that glides, not scrapes. It’s the difference between shaving and mastering the shave.
Cream-based lather, not foam or gel – Thick, dense, and protective
Naturally sourced essential oils – Hydrate and calm the skin
Concentrated formula – A small amount goes a long way
Hand-built ritual – Water-activated and brush-compatible
Sandalwood scent – Warm, masculine, and iconic – our most popular scent
Protects sensitive skin: The key benefit of this shaving cream is that it helps protect the skin from irritation and razor burn. This is achieved by creating a rich lather that improves razor glide, allowing for a closer, more comfortable shave.
Moisturizes and soothes: Crafted with a high concentration of glycerin, coconut acid and other botanical ingredients, this shaving cream provides enhanced hydration during the shave to prevent dryness and support overall skin health.
Long-lasting: A small amount of this high-quality shaving cream goes a long way, making it a cost-effective and luxurious option for men who want a product that lasts. With its high-quality formulation, just a fingerful is needed to prep for each shave.
Made with Sandalwood essential oil: Our 100% sustainably sourced Sandalwood essential oil is known for its nourishing properties and can help to soothe and moisturize dry skin. Additionally, the warm and masculine aroma of Sandalwood helps to improve mood, making the shaving experience more enjoyable.
Clinically and dermatologically tested: This shaving cream is rigorously tested for use on sensitive skin to ensure that it's gentle and non-irritating. Men can trust that this cream is suitable for their skin type and can use it with confidence.
Non-comedogenic: Non-comedogenic means that the product is designed not to clog pores, which can lead to acne and other skin problems. This makes it a good choice for those who are prone to breakouts.
Free from synthetic dyes and alcohol: Synthetic dyes and alcohol can be irritating to the skin. The fact that this shaving cream is free from these ingredients makes it a good choice for those who want a less astringent product.
TSA-approved: Our smaller 2.5 oz and 1.5 oz shaving creams are TSA-approved, making it easy to take them on the go. Men can enjoy the benefits of this high-quality shaving cream even while they're traveling, without worrying about TSA regulations.
Lathering up is the 2nd step in The Art of Shaving's trademarked 4 Elements of the Perfect Shave™ (preceded by applying Pre-Shave Oil).
With a brush (recommended): Rinse your face with hot water to stimulate skin, open pores, and soften beard hair for an easier shave. Then, wet your brush thoroughly under hot water before applying a fingerful of shaving cream to the center. Apply to your face in quick, circular movements to exfoliate the skin and produce a rich lather. Shave with the grain on your first pass. If a closer shave is desired, re-lather and shave against the grain. Rinse with cold water and apply our 2in1 After-Shave Balm.
Without a brush: Place shaving cream directly onto wet skin and massage into a lather using your hands.
