Tom's of Maine Natural Conditioning Shave Cream

This lumpy, toothpaste-like soap uses vegetable glycerin and fruit oils to condition skin during shaving, but a post-shower moisturizer is still necessary. We love the light, tingly scent of the mint (it's also available in flowery calendula), and the feel-good factor of a natural animal-, preservative- and aerosol-free product. But the earth-friendly element means it doesn't lather up like traditional shave gel or cream, and the metal tube is hard to squeeze in the shower.
