SHAVING CREAM AUSTRALIA

There’s more to shaving cream than pressurised foam. Get your hands on the real stuff, which can be lathered with or without a shaving brush. Easy to use, shaving creams lather quickly and generously, often made from naturally-derived and plant-based ingredients such as long-chained fatty acids and exceptional aromatic materials, producing a shave that smells as good as it feels. A little bit of product goes a long way, and can offer many months of high-quality shaving. Investing in a quality cream is a supremely economical choice.

Types of Shaving Cream

Classic British shaving creams have a soft formulation, from brands such as Taylor of Old Bond Street, Geo. F. Trumper, D. R. Harris, and Castle Forbes. Both sandalwood and lime are well-loved options, as well as coconut from Geo. F. Trumper. 

Italian-style shaving creams are slightly firmer in their constitution, and benefit from a shaving brush. Italian brands include Santa Maria Novella and barbershop favourite Proraso, which is beloved all around the world. Proraso ‘Refreshing’, colloquially known as Proraso Green, for instance, has a classic mentholated formulation that offers a familiar zing on the skin.

Shaving Creams to Travel With

Shaving cream tubes are great for travel, with many brands offering their signature aromas and formulas in a portable and convenient format. They take up minimal space and can easily be dispensed into hand or bowl, lathered with or without a shaving brush. Proraso and Geo. F. Trumper are popular choices.

Shaving Cream For Sensitive Skin

For those with sensitive skin, we recommend Taylor of Old Bond Street’s Jermyn Street, which is especially formulated to be allergen-free replete with protective aloe vera, coconut, cacao seed butter, and allantoin.

The Many Scents of Shaving Cream

There are many great scents on offer from the range of shaving creams. Nostalgic aromas of violet, rose, and almond sit alongside invigorating peppermint, eucalyptus, lime, and grapefruit scents - perfect for a refreshing shave. Recent shaving creams have leaned into more complex perfumed creations, replete with accords evocative of rare spiced oud and verdant forests. Special mention to Trumper’s Eucris, a blend of spices, woods, moss, and cassis cherished by many - including James Bond. From the Greek, its name suggests a product of pleasing quality and elegant proportions.
