When it comes to shaving, men have it rough. Every morning, they have to face that razor—and for many guys, that means nicks, cuts, burning and shave bumps. It's worse for men who have sensitive skin, rosacea, or curly whiskers. Shaving can be downright agonizing for men with skin problems. Is it any wonder they "take weekends off"?

It doesn't have to be this way. In fact, Rituals Shaving Kit was originally designed for men. Aesthetician and Rituals Skin Care™ founder Linda Dickson wanted to offer her male clients relief from their skin care problems. These were big strapping construction contractors and tough executives—guys who make things happen in the world—but their daily shave caused razor burn, chapping, ingrown hairs and acne. They were truly suffering and often embarrassed by their appearance until Linda developed Rituals Skin Care™ shaving products.

Rituals Skin Care™ is the soothing solution for tough beards. Modern shaving methods are perilous to skin: razors drag over the surface of the face literally tearing the outer layer of skin, yet not providing a close shave. Rituals Skin Care™ offers superior shaving products (And don't worry, gentlemen, they're not perfumed. We like our men to smell like...well, men!)

• Anti-Irritation Pre-shave Oil provides a protective barrier between the razor and your face, which allows your razor to cut closer without damaging your skin. Plus, it's loaded with Tamanu Oil, which helps heal minor nicks and fights bacterial infections that cause acne.
• All Natural Shaving Cream with Coconut Oil makes thick moisturizing foam that suspends whiskers upright so your razor can reach the very base of the hair.
• Organic Milk and Honey Lotion for After Shave is rich in Tamanu Oil and Vitamin E, cool, creamy, and never greasy. Its anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory properties will leave your cheeks feeling smooth and comfortable.

For best results, brush on! Remember how old-fashioned barbers used a shaving brush? There was a good reason for that. The brush went out of style when cheap shaving foam in a can became available and men  have been suffering ever since. If the only thing you change about your shaving routine is using a quality brush, you'll be astonished by the difference in your shave.

Rituals Skin Care™ Handmade Anti-Microbial Shaving Brush: 

• Delivers a thicker, richer, more emollient lather so your shaving cream performs better.
• Gently exfoliates your skin, eliminating dead skin cells between your face and the razor and reducing the chance of acne breakouts after your shave.
• Lifts your whiskers away from your face so your razor can reach the base of the hair.
• And frankly, just plain feels good when you use it. Imagine starting your day with an invigorating mini face massage!
