Create a smoother, more comfortable shaving ritual with APOTHECARY 87 Shave Cream.
This rich, thick cream is designed to produce a cushioning lather that helps lift beard hair away from the skin, allowing the razor to catch each hair more effectively while improving glide.
Its hydrating formula helps keep the skin comfortable throughout the shave, while ingredients including glycerin, stearic acid and coconut-derived components help soften stubble and reduce the dry, tight feeling that can follow shaving.
Finished with APOTHECARY 87’s signature sandalwood and vanilla fragrance, it brings the warm character of a traditional barbershop into an everyday grooming routine.
Use it on its own, or pair it with APOTHECARY 87 Shave Oil for an even smoother shave.
Fragrance Profile
Fragrance: Sandalwood & Vanilla
A warm balance of sweet vanilla and spicy, woody sandalwood, created to evoke the atmosphere of a traditional barbershop.
The scent was originally known as the brand’s 1893 fragrance, referencing the year associated by APOTHECARY 87 with the opening of the first barber school.
How to Use
Wet the area you intend to shave.
Apply the cream directly to the face using your fingertips, or use a shaving brush with hot water to work the cream into a richer lather.
Once applied evenly, shave as usual.
For an enhanced shaving routine, APOTHECARY 87 recommends using the cream alongside its Shave Oil.
