A good shave should feel like a mini reset and leave your legs and bikini line feeling smooth, silky, and moisturized. No bumps, no pain, no drama. If you’ve ever dealt with irritation, ingrown hairs, or dry skin after shaving, you’re not alone. Your best shave ever starts with a few simple steps, done well, and the right support from nourishing, skin-loving products.

Whether you’re prepping your skin for summertime fun, looking to elevate your weekly shaving routine, or are dealing with a sensitive bikini line, a smooth, irritation-free shave is just a few steps away.

Before you even think about shaving, hop into a warm shower or bath to soften the skin and open up your pores. This makes it easier to get a closer shave without tugging or nicking.

Next, exfoliate. Removing dead skin cells and smoothing away rough patches helps prevent clogged razors, reduces the chance of ingrowns, and allows your razor to glide more smoothly. Plus, exfoliation helps prep your skin to receive moisturizer, allowing for deeper, more impactful moisturization (more on that in a minute).

Try this: Our Exfoliating Body Scrub is crafted with a gentle cleansing formula plus exfoliating sugar crystals and nourishing oils that gently buff and hydrate your skin. It leaves your skin soft and smooth—never tight or dry and ready for a smooth, comfortable shave. One more tip…exfoliate 1–2 times per week to keep your skin glowing, not just on shave day.

Let’s face it, shaving is rough on your skin and you’re removing layers of skin with every swipe. To make things worse, traditional shaving foams and gels are packed with harsh chemicals (more on Sulfates right here) that can dry out your skin and only lead to more irritation and razor burn. Ugh.

Don’t worry though, a better glide is as simple as switching to a nourishing whipped soap and shave butter that’s designed to care for your skin and ensure a smooth, easy glide every single time. The right rich, hydrating formula is going to bring noticeable benefits to your shaving routine and work best with even the most sensitive skin.

Try this: Ready for an instant shave upgrade? Our Whipped Soap Shave & Butter is a creamy, nourishing formula that helps your razor glide smoothly while moisturizing your skin at the same time. This luxurious 2-in-1 formula gently cleanses while deeply hydrating for the best shave you’ve ever felt. It’s especially great for sensitive areas like your bikini line features indulgent, natural scents for a true selfcare escape.

Shaving Tips To Keep In Mind

- Always use a clean, sharp razor—dull blades can lead to nicks and irritation.
- Don’t dry shave. Ever. Seriously, your skin will thank you.
- On your bikini line, shave in the direction of hair growth first. If needed, a second pass against the grain can help with smoothness—but only if your skin isn’t too sensitive, so be gentle.
- Rinse your razor every few strokes to keep it clean and effective.

After shaving, your skin needs moisture and no matter how good your shave butter is, a rich, nourishing post-shave moisturizer is super important in order to prevent dryness, irritation, and razor bumps.

Apply a thick, hydrating cream like our Shea Body Butter right after shaving and you’ll be on your way to nourished nirvana. Packed with moisturizing avocado oil and shea butter, It melts into the skin and delivers deep hydration and soothes skin.

Try this: For best results, moisturize freshly-shaved areas immediately, while your skin is still slightly damp to help seal in moisture.

A great shave isn’t just about smooth skin—it’s about how you feel when you care for yourself in the process. With the right prep, the right products, and a little bit of intention, your shave routine can be something you actually look forward to!
