Couples That Shave Together…

Tasked with finding the best shareable shaving products, one Back Bay twosome turned their bathroom into a trial lab. Of the 25 formulas they tested, these nine promise to get you through skin-baring season nick-free.

FOR HIM
Clarins Men Smooth Shave

Cool to the touch and distinctly masculine, this gel yields a light lather and rinses clean. $16.50, Saks Fifth Avenue.

Zirh Shave Cream
Packed in an old-school pot, the soothing aloe-based cream goes on easily by brush or by hand. $20, Sephora.

Gel de Rasage Shaving Gel Pour Homme
This gel français leaves skin smoother and fresher-feeling than the average drugstore version. $18, L’Occitane.

FOR HER
Shedonism Shaving Mousse
Silky and frothy, a little bit goes a long way—and leaves legs without nicks. $25, Origins.

Malin + Goetz Vitamin E Shaving Cream
Without clogging your razor, this one will have your skin feeling tingly and moisturized. $22, Barneys New York.

Fresh Shaving Cream
The thick, neutral-scented cream coddles skin, preventing cuts as it hydrates. $22, Fresh.

SHARED FAVORITES
Foaming Shave Gel in Elixir Blue

A lather lover’s delight, it pumps up the volume while smelling clean but gender neutral. $10, C. O. Bigelow.

Dermalogica Invigorating Shave Gel
The clear gel allows for an ultraclose shave. It also cures dry skin—and, in our experience, bug bites. $16, the Loft.

Philosophy Razor Sharp
This superlight foam emollient exudes a soapy-fresh aroma and washes off effortlessly. $18, Making Faces.

COMMENT:
There is an extraordinary product made in the Bay State: Al's Shaving Cream. Perhaps one of the best in the world. It lathers fast and big, the scents are complex and leaves the skin feeling good, you can find it at: alsshaving.com
