By hand, or by brush, THIS is what gold-class shaves are made of. A perfect hybrid of shave cream and shave soap. Formulated with organic mango butter, this cream is luxuriously soft and moisturizing. We have crafted this after-shave with menthol to act as a mild analgesic and to provide that familiar uplifting and invigorating cooling sensation. The addition of menthol helps to refresh, revitalize, and enliven your skin. Our cream honors the ritual of wet-shave traditionalists, and the need for ease and speed of modern cartridge shavers. The bentonite clay helps with blade slip, and provides the benefits of a skin-detoxifying mask, and soothing agent for irritated skin. A little goes a long way. You can whip the cream into a rich lather with a scuttle and brush, or scoop a bit out with your fingers and massage it directly into skin. So go ahead, dig in, and discover the best shave of your life...GUARANTEED.
Used in conjunction with our Botanical Pre-Shave Oil, you'll experience an extremely close shave free of irritation and razor burn, while hydrating your skin to keep ingrown hair at bay.
Scent:
Mentholated - Pleasantly mellow menthol
Directions for successful wet-shave using a DE, or SE blade:
Cleanse first with warm to hot water to soften hair and open your pores. For best results, massage AJ's Elixirs Pre-Shave Oil into skin and allow to penetrate and soften the skin while preparing your lather and use a fine badger hair shave brush. Soak badger brush in hot water while applying shave oil. Allow your brush to drain, then load brush (build a paste) with soap directly in the tub. Add additional hot water, drops at a time, if necessary during brush loading. Whip up a thick, rich lather in your shave mug, or bowl. For a close shave, lather onto skin against the grain to lift whiskers away from face, neck, or head. Always shave in stages, using small strokes and rinsing your blade often. Shave with the grain first. For a closer shave, relather and take a second pass across the grain. You may make a final pass against the grain, if necessary. Maintain light pressure throughout your shave, allowing the weight of your blade to do the work. Rinse with cold water to close your pores, and gently pat your skin dry.
