Shave Essentials (Shave Cream + Aftershave)

The two formulas share eight ingredients: the base, the soothing core, and the preservative system. That leaves 26 unique ingredients doing the work across the whole shave. Here's every one, by product.

Shave Cream (16 ingredients):
Water (Aqua), Glycerin, Stearic Acid, Palmitic Acid, Cetyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate, Avena Sativa (Oat) Bran Extract, Allantoin, Panthenol, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Sodium Phytate, Natural Fragrance, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin.

Aftershave (18 ingredients):
Water (Aqua), Rosa Damascena Flower Water, Squalane, Cetearyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate, Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Meal, Allantoin, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vit. E), Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Propanediol, Sodium Phytate, Xanthan Gum, Carbomer, Aminomethyl Propanol, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Natural Fragrance.

Shared across both: Water, Glyceryl Stearate, Allantoin, Aloe, Sodium Phytate, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, and the natural fragrance. Full per-ingredient breakdowns are on each product's page.

Before the shave: massage the Shave Cream onto wet skin until it spreads into a thin, slick layer, then shave with the grain. After: rinse, pat dry, and work the Aftershave in until absorbed. Two steps, every shave. That's the whole routine.

Why buy the set instead of one product?
Because the shave is the point. Cream plus aftershave is the full routine and neither does the whole job alone. The set is $35; the two bought separately are $40. You save $5 and you're done deciding.

Is this a complete shave routine?
For most men, yes. Cushion the blade, calm the skin after. No pre-shave oil, no balm-on-balm, no extra steps unless you want them.

Will the cream foam up like a can?
No, and that's the point. It's a cushioning cream, not an aerosol foam — less air, more slip, so the blade glides instead of drags.

Does the aftershave sting?
No. No alcohol splash. Rose water, aloe, and oat settle the skin instead of burning it.

Is this a good gift?
It's the shave he'll actually keep. Two products, two steps, works with any razor, nothing to figure out.

How long does the set last?
Roughly 2 months of regular shaving for both - they run out at about the same pace, so you reorder the set, not one piece at a time.
