FAQs
Is this shaving cream suitable for beginners?
Yes, it is suitable for beginners. While it requires a shaving brush, the process of creating a lather is straightforward and offers a superior shaving experience compared to canned foams.
How long does the 150g tub typically last?
For daily shavers, a 150g tub can typically last between 3 to 6 months, depending on the amount of cream used per shave.
Can I use this product without a shaving brush?
While technically possible to create a lather directly on the face, using a shaving brush is highly recommended to achieve the best, creamiest lather and a comfortable shave.
What is the scent profile of this shaving cream?
It has a classic and pleasant almond fragrance. It is not overly sweet or artificial, providing a subtle and traditional scent.
What does 'paraben-free' mean for my skin?
Paraben-free means the product does not contain parabens, which are preservatives that some individuals find can cause skin irritation or have other health concerns. This makes the cream gentler for sensitive skin.
How should I store the shaving cream?
Store the tub in a cool, dry place. Ensure the lid is tightly closed after each use to maintain freshness and prevent the cream from drying out.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty creating a lather
Ensure your shaving brush is sufficiently wet but not dripping. Try using a slightly warmer water temperature or adding a small amount of water incrementally while lathering.
Lather disappears quickly
You may be using too much water. Try reducing the amount of water added during the lathering process. Ensure the cream is being properly loaded onto the brush.
Skin irritation after shaving
While designed for sensitive skin, ensure you are not applying excessive pressure with your razor. Check that the cream is properly lathered and provides adequate glide. Consider a thorough rinse with cool water and a post-shave balm.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To use, load a damp shaving brush by swirling it into the cream in the tub. Aim to collect a small amount of cream onto the bristles. Then, lather the cream in a separate bowl or directly on your face using circular motions until a rich, creamy lather is achieved. Add water sparingly as needed to reach desired consistency.
Compatibility: This shaving cream is compatible with all types of safety razors, cartridge razors, and straight razors. It is designed to work best with a shaving brush for optimal lather generation. It is suitable for all skin types, especially sensitive skin, due to its paraben-free formulation.
Care: Store the tub in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the lid is securely closed after each use to prevent the cream from drying out. Clean any residual cream from the rim of the tub with a damp cloth.
