About Ariana & Evans Shaving Cream

Our shaving cream is a firmer, croap-style formulation made in small batches in Ansonia, Connecticut. It was developed for wet shavers who want substantial lather, reliable razor glide and a comfortable feel after rinsing without paying a premium price.

What's in the formulation?

We use a blend of fatty-acid sources, butters, emollients and lather-modifying ingredients to shape the cream's texture and performance. Each ingredient has a purpose. Glycerin helps manage water, while the oils and butters contribute to the feel of the finished formula.

Working with water

A small amount of cream can build a dense, hydrated lather with a brush. Add water gradually and work the lather until it feels smooth and stable. The exact amount will depend on your brush and how you like to shave.

Soap or cream?

Our shaving cream is a separate product from Ultima 2 shaving soap. It has a softer texture and a lower jar price. Neither format is automatically better for every shaver. For a side-by-side explanation, read Shaving Soap vs. Shaving Cream.
