These Shaving Creams Will Leave Your Skin Srsly Smooth (2024)

When searching for a shaving cream, you’re gonna want a formula that allows your razor to glide along your skin with ease while simultaneously hydrating the skin. Enter: Billie’s Whipped Shaving Cream.

The formula is packed with nourishing shea butter, coconut oil, and aloe vera (just to name a few). Plus, the whipped texture effortlessly dispenses out of the squeeze bottle packaging (we love mess-free convenience), and lathers extremely well for simple distribution.

“Before I used Billie, I hadn’t used shaving cream since I tried it as a middle schooler, approximately, 14 years ago,” admits Meg Uy, associate shopping editor. “I’m so glad I jumped back on the wave with Billie, I literally can’t feel the razor against my skin when I have it on because of its fluffy and gentle texture.” Uy adds that “it helps shave off every strand of hair, even the stubborn ones.”

Prior to using this gel-to-cream shower savior, I was the queen of uneven, cut-filled shaves. Luckily, this innovative formula transforms from a gel into a foamy texture to coat the skin with ease—making it pretty foolproof for even the worst of shavers.

Plus, it’s packed with skin-loving ingredients like soothing chamomile and aloe. So not only does it create a clean, smooth canvas, but it does so while nourishing the skin (double yay!). Not to mention, the floral scent is a nice added bonus for the full “everything shower” effect (okay, triple yay!).

For all those hard-to-reach areas, this shaving cream is the answer to all your razor burn and sensitivity problems. Aloe, shea butter, and coconut extracts are the perf combination of gentle ingredients for the skin and allow for top-tier smoothness and hydration.

Plus, the formula is lightweight, so you can still see all the areas you’re shaving—safety first!

Looking to treat your skin to some well-deserved self-care? Look no further than this luxe gel-to-milk (yep, milk) formula. It’s filled with Vitamin C—to stimulate collagen production and improve hyperpigmentation—and nourishing marula oil to soften the skin.

The lightweight formula is not only super silky and hydrating, but it also assists with an even, easy glide for your razor.

Tree Hut is beloved for its skin-smoothing exfoliators that make you feel like you just got back from a spa getaway (no joke), so it’s no surprise that the brand knows a thing or two about shaving. Filled with skin-nourishing extracts like Moroccan argan oil and rosehip oil, this formula supplies the skin with a silky base for long-lasting moisture—no suds necessary.

“I swear I get my closest shave when I soften the f outta my skin with this shave oil,” says Beth Gilette, beauty editor. “My razor glides right across my skin—no tugging or nicks. And once I rinse it off, my legs and underarms feel smooth and hydrated too.”

Is there anything worse than going on a vacation, and noticing some prickly hairs growing back after just a couple of days? Well, resorting to a hotel razor and some shower water is officially a thing of the past thanks to this moisturizing gel stick. The compact packaging TSA friendly and the stick itself is a mess-free solution for your toiletries—no exploding bottles here!

“This shave gel is my secret weapon on trips, I just swipe the stick across my skin, then shave as usual,” explains Gilette. “It's beyond easy to use, even easier to pack, and leaves my skin soft as hell.”

If razor burn, ingrown hairs, and irritation are pesky constants in your shaving routine, this shaving gel specifically designed with sensitive skin in mind will be your BFF.

The gel texture transforms into a cushion-esque cream, filled with oatmeal and Vitamin E to hydrate and strengthen the skin barrier. Not only does the moisturizing cream leave the skin feeling super soft, but the thickness of the formula itself allows for smooth razor strokes (goodbye, redness).

After shaving any part of your body, replenishing the skin with moisture is key. Luckily, this shea butter shaving cream = hydration heaven. And we can’t ignore the under-$5 price tag.

“As someone who is too busy (and lazy) to apply moisturizer after every shower, eos’ shea butter formula ensures I don’t skimp on hydration,” says Sarah Maberry, commerce writer. “Texture-wise, it’s more akin to a lotion than traditional shaving cream and a pump or two is all it takes to cover each leg. And it’s Leaping Bunny certified (which is important, ppl!).”
