HOW TO GET A CLOSE SHAVE

Our most popular men’s shaving products, White Eagle" Ultimate Brushless Shave Cream is made with cooling Menthol and Camphor for a refreshingly close shave. Our brushless formula provides a creamy lather cushion to help prevent razor bumps and maximize shaving comfort.

SHAVING WITH SENSITIVE SKIN

Is your skin prone to razor burn, bumps or irritation after shaving? If so, you likely have sensitive skin, and we have the right shave balm for you. Our "Blue Eagle" Ultimate Brushless Shaving Cream is infused with soothing Aloe to comfort sensitive skin and prevent razor bumps and ingrown hairs for a magnificently smooth finish.

HOW TO USE KIEHL’S SHAVING CREAMS

With all Kiehl’s shaving creams, apply on moist – not wet – skin. We recommend for your shaving routine to fall after a warm bath or shower.

Our shaving creams are rich – a little goes a long way. When you’re ready, be sure to apply a nearly translucent layer. You should be able to almost see through the cream to your five o’clock shadow or facial hair.

And remember, always apply shaving products in upward, circular motions. This ensures that your hair follicles are coated all the way down to the skin.

As you shave, save the tough stubby patches for last. This allows the ingredients ample time to soften facial hair and soothe skin.

If you notice your razor is clogging – you’re using too much.

SHAVING CAN BE ROUGH. HERE’S A SMOOTH SOLUTION

YOUR CLASSIC SHAVING ROUTINE

 

1. PREPARE YOUR SKIN

Start your shaving routine by cleansing skin with a facial wash or energizing scrub to clear away excess dirt and oil and soften facial hair.

2. APPLY YOUR FAVORITE SHAVE CREAM

Using upward circular motions, apply a shave lotion or cream based on your style or skin type. Ultimate Brushless Shave Cream is a men’s favorite that softens facial hair and helps defend your skin against nicks, cuts and razor bumps.

3. GO WITH THE GRAIN

For a proper shave, use light, gentle strokes. Your razor should do the work, not you. Start shaving with the grain (in the direction of hair growth). Then if you have any stubble left, go against the grain for an even closer shave.

4. RINSE RAZOR BLADE FREQUENTLY

This prevents buildup on the razor blade edges or cartridge and will result in a smoother glide with more comfort.

5. PREVENT RAZOR BURN

To avoid post-shaving irritation like ingrown hairs and razor burn, rinse skin with cool water and pat it try. Then use a skin soothing after shave formula, such as Post-Shave Repair Gel, to nourish and protect skin.

KIEHL’S FOR MEN

For most men, skin care isn’t the first subject that comes to mind, but did you know that physiologically men’s skin is 30-40% thicker than women’s skin? Plus, it has more oil-producing glands, larger pores and is more exposed to UV radiation and pollution resulting in more rapid skin aging over time.

Add shaving and bearding to the mix and it comes down to one simple fact: men’s skin care requires products and routines specially formulated to its unique needs.

DID YOU KNOW?

Kiehl’s founding family member, Mr. Aaron Morse, was not only a U.S. Air Corps pilot but also among the first in the skincare industry to identify men’s specific needs. In the 1960’s, Mr. Morse introduced innovative men’s grooming products including, Blue Astringent Herbal Lotion and White Eagle Shaving Cream. Out of this tradition was born, "Grooming Solutions Nourishing Beard Oil" – our latest addition to Kiehl’s heritage of listening to men and providing the finest skin care solutions.
