If you shave to wear short skirts, swimsuits and shorts in the summertime or just enjoy the feeling of silky smooth baby soft skin of shaved legs, using the right shaving cream is very important. Besides helping to keep your legs silky smooth and soft, the right shaving cream will also moisturize your skin and keep it from drying out. Try not to use soap, and invest in a high quality shaving cream that will help you from getting unpleasant burns and cuts or irritated skin.

Before choosing what shaving cream to use there is a few things to think about. First: Know your skin type. You have probably heard this many times, but the same rules apply for shaving cream as for your moisturizer or face wash. If you have dry skin, try to look for creams that have emollients such as almond oil. If you have oily skin look for a cream that has an astringent (camphor) to dry out your skin. If you have sensitive skin try to avoid any cream with fragrance and get something organic.

The Art of Shaving for Women is a shaving cream, that although a bit pricey, is really worth the extra money spent giving you a super close shave, leaving your skin soft, moisturized and glowing. The rose oil used, leaves a subtle but amazing scent on your skin. An added plus is that no parabens are used in the cream.

Skintimate Shaving Sensitive Formula has a unique combination of eight different skin softeners and conditioners, lubricants and emollients that are made with the needs of women in mind. It gives a very close shave and leaves your skin feeling soft, smooth and healthy.

Whish Almond Shave Crave provides a smooth and close shave through its glycerin based soap based combined with essential oils and nourishing almond oil that really helps to moisturize dry skin. Whish also provides a special brush to apply the cream, the feminine version of a barbers brush for men, to get that ultra close shave.

Shaving with sensitive skin can be a hassle and sometimes painful.

If you are a man with sensitive skin, don’t worry. The majority of men actually do have sensitive skin.

This makes sense becuase men daily shave which means they daily scrape their face with a blade and what this does is destroy the hydrolytic film on the skin’s surface which in turn increases dryness and reduces the skin’s natural protection.

So if you are a guy with sensitive skin, which is the best shaving cream for your skin type?

Here we have picked the best shaving creams for sensitive skin that you can buy online.

I came upon the Billy Jealousy site while searching for new shave creams to try out, and I really like their site design and wanted to give their Hydroplane Shave Cream a try.

Product Description

Dragging a blade across your face every day does a lot of harm to your skin. Welcome back smooth shaving with Billy Jealousy. The Billy Jealousy Hydroplane shave cream is “technologically” advanced to provide a smooth and close shave with a simple citrus and mint smell. Winner, Best Shave Cream - Esquire, 2007 Grooming Awards.

Product Review

Boy was I happy to get my Billy Jealousy Hydroplane Shave Cream to review, I got a complete 8 ounce bottle to test out and keep for future shaves. I like the presentation, a dragon logo and a simple bottle, nothing complicated here.

I did notice that this shave cream has a different texture compared to other, it has tiny micro scrubs that are not like the scrubs you find in exfoliators, a lot smaller but that is the key to providing the close shave, those are the “silicone beads”. The smell was great too, not too hard and just right to make it refreshing.

My shave was definitely a lot closer, compared to using other common brands and no nicks or cuts! The Billy Jealousy shaving cream is well worth the price and you can buy the other skin care products for men they make for a perfect shave!

Yet another shave cream to review, and this time it is Men-U a brand I had not heard of before among shaving creams.

Product Description

Provides a smooth and close shave without irritation. This shave cream is packed with moisturizers and lubricants that provides less nicks and longer lasting blades. Best of all the small container can last you for up to six months!

Product Review

If you like to keep things simple and compact then this shave cream is for you. I was surprised at the small size of the review tube they sent me but on its label it said it would last me for up to 20 shaves! I was also surprised that despite its small size it offers a great lather just like any other quality shaving cream.

My shave was easy, smooth and no nicks or cuts! Plus, I also got the Men-U Moisturizer which I liked very much becuase it left a mint feeling and light mint smell on my face. I really enjoyed this shave becuase it left my face feeling fresh and smooth.

If you need the perfect shaving cream for traveling or just don’t want to pack your bathroom with big shaving bottles then Men-U is just right for you.

eShave is by far one of the best shaving creams to use if you like to keep it old school by using a shaving brush.

Aside from providing quality shaving razors, Shave also has a great line of shaving creams and I was lucky enough to get a sample to review the White Tea Shaving Cream by Shave.

Description

The e’Shave White Tea Shaving Cream is for all skin types and it is a shaving cream that contain antioxidents which means aside from giving you a great shave it also helps your skin looking young.

The thick cream helps for a great lather and it also helps open your facial pores to prevent razor burn while providing a close shave.

Product Review

The shaving cream smells great and has a really thick creamy texture to it. I didn’t have a shaving brush at hand but you can use that or your hands to spread the cream on your face.

My shave was easy and the razor glided along my skin and best of all I did not end with any razor burn as promised in the product description. This shaving cream really inspired me to want to buy a shaving brush to use it with.

I also noticed that the cream is “warm water activated” so make sure to spread it along your face with warm water. This is the first time I use an eShave cream and I definitely recommend it if you haven’t used eShave before.
