Finally, these are not meant to be used on your face, as the skin there is more sensitive, and therefore more likely to become irritated, or, as I learned from my own unfortunate personal experience, to break out.

2. D’Fluff Shaving Soap

Available at Lush

Lush’s D’Fluff Shaving Soap is my holy-grail shaving cream.

Seriously: My skin is always soft and irritation-free when I use it, which is more than I can say for any other shaving cream I’ve tried.

While Lush claims that this pink shaving soap smells like strawberries, I wouldn’t really say that is the case. Yes, it does have a hint of strawberry in there, but I can’t really place the overall scent, to be honest. Nevertheless, it does smell good, and not in an overwhelming way, as some Lush products do.

It also has a soft, creamy, whipped texture that smooths easily onto skin.

Overall, the only con about this product is that, like most Lush products, it is quite expensive, and I don’t feel like I get enough product for what I’m paying. However, it is 100% worth it for me to not have to go through the itchiness and irritation that occurs when I go without it.

So, if you have sensitive skin that is prone to irritation while shaving, I would highly recommend trying D’Fluff!

3. Mr. Pumice Pumi Bar

Available at Amazon in four-pack

I know what you’re thinking: What’s the difference between this pumice and any other one that I can find in the drugstore?

To which I respond: Everything.

First of all, these Mr. Pumice Pumi Bars are really cheap (if you buy the four-pack, which is shown here, it works out to only $1.69 per bar).

Secondly, if you take care of them and keep them out of the water when not in use (which can cause mold to grow), they last quite a while, and won’t get that gross, musty smell that can sometimes happen with pumice stones.
