Build a smooth, irritation-free shave routine using Easy Glide Shave Butter and Soothing Post-Shave for sensitive skin.
Quick answer
Start with Dr. Squatch Easy Glide Shave Butter for a slick, protective layer, then finish with Soothing Post-Shave to calm and refresh your skin.
Why a dedicated shave butter and post-shave matter
Using a dedicated shave butter like Easy Glide Shave Butter creates a slick, protective layer that reduces razor drag and irritation, especially for sensitive skin. It's designed to help you get a close shave without the burn.
A separate post-shave treatment, such as Soothing Post-Shave, is formulated to calm and refresh skin after shaving, reducing redness and discomfort. Together, they address both the shave and recovery stages.
Trade-offs and considerations
If you have very coarse or thick facial hair, you may need to prep with warm water or a pre-shave oil before applying the shave butter for best results. The shave butter itself is not a pre-shave oil.
For those with extremely sensitive skin, patch-test the post-shave on a small area first to ensure no reaction, as individual sensitivities vary. The subscription delivers quarterly, so plan ahead if you shave daily.
Steps to build your shave routine
- Prep your skin: Wash your face with warm water to soften facial hair and open pores. Pat dry, leaving skin slightly damp. Skipping this step can cause the shave butter to not glide as smoothly.
- Apply Easy Glide Shave Butter: Squeeze a small amount of Dr. Squatch Easy Glide Shave Butter into your palm and massage it evenly over the area you plan to shave. Let it sit for 30 seconds to create a slick, protective layer. Using too little can lead to razor drag; start with a dime-sized amount and add more if needed.
- Shave with the grain: Using a clean, sharp razor, shave in the direction of hair growth. Rinse the blade often to keep it clear of hair and product. Shaving against the grain increases irritation risk, especially for sensitive skin.
- Rinse and pat dry: After shaving, rinse your face with cool water to close pores. Gently pat dry with a clean towel—do not rub. Rubbing can irritate freshly shaved skin; patting is gentler.
- Apply Soothing Post-Shave: Pump a small amount of Dr. Squatch Soothing Post-Shave into your hands and apply it to the shaved area. Massage gently until absorbed. Apply within a minute after drying for best absorption and calming effect.
