Why Your Shaving Cream Might Be Causing Razor Burn (And What to Use Instead)

If you've ever walked away from a shave with a burning neck or red bumps, you're not alone. Razor burn is often blamed on technique or razors — but the real culprit might be hiding in your shaving cream.

The Problem with Conventional Shaving Creams

Most drugstore foams and gels are packed with:

• Harsh alcohols that strip your skin’s natural oils

• Synthetic fragrances that irritate sensitive skin

• Foaming agents that dry you out instead of cushioning your shave

What you get? A quick lather with long-term irritation.

What Your Skin Actually Needs

For a clean, irritation-free shave, your cream should:

• Hydrate and soften the hair and skin

• Cushion the blade for fewer nicks and burns

• Soothe and nourish post-shave with natural oils

That’s exactly what American Sailor Brand’s all-natural shaving cream is made for. No gimmicks. No burn. Just a clean, confident shave.
