3 Excellent Organic Shaving Creams
In my earlier article Organic Shaving Cream - 3 Reasons Why You Need To Throw Out Your Shaving Cream, I asserted that organic shaving cream works better, is better for you, and is actually less expensive than regular shaving cream.
I wanted to show you a couple of organic shaving cream products and shaving cream "systems" that I have used. I have very sensitive skin, and previously would get ingrown hairs anytime I shaved. Some gels and creams were better than others, but none of the typical "grocery store" brands ever alleviated the problem.
I had moderate to complete success with each of these three products. The Aubrey Organics "Mens Stock Shaving System" is the one I now use daily because it doesn't irritate my skin and I no longer get razor burn / bumps, or ingrown hairs.
Organic Shaving Creams and Shaving Systems
Aubrey Organics delivers the best shave system I have ever used. Following well tested convention wisdom, the Aubrey Organics "Mens Stock Shaving System" is a 3 step system that combines a facial scrub, organic shaving cream, and organic aftershave.
According to Aubrey Organics, the Mens Stock Shaving System:

This gel is made with organic ingredients specifically formulated to benefit the skin, it may feel differently on your face than other products you've used before. We’ve found that by the end of the bottle, we not only like the feel of the product, but more importantly, the look and feel of our skin. You may even find that you go through a period of detox as your skin cleanses and returns to its natural state.
A little goes a long way.

Tom's of Maine Natural Conditioning Shaving cream "is formulated with pure vegetable ingredients to provide skin conditioning and comfort while shaving. Coconut and olive oils protect and condition the skin and possess excellent lubrication qualities."
This product is not a truly organic shaving cream, but does use "natural ingredients" that based on my research lack the harmful and carcinogenic effects found in regular shave creams. It is by far the least expensive of the three. For these reasons, I have chosen to include Tom's of Maine Natural Condition Shaving Cream in this review
I have found the key to making this shaving cream work to its full potential is to use a shaving mug and a brush to lather and apply it to your face. In fact, I'm not the only one who found this to be true; there are many comments posted on the Toms of Maine website stating this same opinion.
Ingredients:
- Water, Glycerin (from vegetable oil), Coconut Oil, Ptassium and Sodium stearate (from vegetable oil soap)
- Olive Fruit Oil, Peppermint Oil, Vitamin E (from soybeans), Jojoba Seed Oil
