What it is: A transparent formula that functions as a preshave oil, shave cream and after-shave conditioner to soften facial hair for a smooth, pain-free shave.
Who it's for: Formulated for the needs of men's skin.
What it does: This superlight formula won't clog your blade, rinses easily and allows you to navigate around sideburns, beards and mustaches. Enjoy a smooth, effortless glide with this soothing, hydrating formula that's rich in nourishing fatty acids and phospholipids. It contains macadamia nut oil, which an extremely high quality oil that penetrates and works below the skin's surface to soften and hydrate; jojoba oil, which softens, moisturizes and protects the skin through a lubricating, protective cushion; glycerin, a natural humectant which helps maintain the skin's moisture balance; and phospholipids, which are a rich source of essential fatty acids to bind moisture to the skin and support the natural skin barrier. Heather, a botanical, provides soothing and anti-irritant properties; an advanced silicone blend allows for a superior glide and prevents a clogged razor blade; menthol provides cooling and antibacterial benefits; and peppermint and eucalyptus provide a fresh, tingling sensation.
How to use: To use, work a small amount into your slightly moist beard every time you shave—in the shower or immediately after showering. For areas with heavier, coarser whiskers, allow the product to remain on your skin for 60 seconds before shaving. Glide the razor over your face. Rinse with cold water.

Every Jack Black product is carefully formulated from the very finest ingredients, many of which—like plant extracts, herbs and healing botanicals—come from time-tested natural remedies. Fragrance-free, colorant-free, cruelty-free, sulfate-free and dermatologist-tested, Jack Black skin care, grooming, cologne and hair care products take an honest, natural approach to helping you look and feel your best.
This tube of shave cream will last longer than 4 or 5 of the aerosol cans everyone buys because you will use only a very small amount for each shave. The product doesn't cover your face in white foam, instead it's more like invisible gell, you need to get used to shaving without the foam - it will take about a week or so to adapt to this way of shaving. But, the payoff is that the shave is much smoother, no bumbs or nicks and leaves your skin feeling great. The minty tingle is a great wake up in the morning - but does not leave a smell once you've completed your shower - so works well with any colonge applied after the shower.
The Nordstrom store sells the larger pump bottle that has lasted my partner and I over a year of both sharing each day of the week. This product costs a bit more at the beginning, but is much more economical in the long run. Travels well as only a little amount is needed in a very small travel container - beats those aerosol cans any day.

Good for the Ladies too!
I'm a woman and I use this to shave/refresh my undercut on the side of my head. Brilliant! I am black and this product softens my kinky hair and let's the razor just glide. No more razor bumps!

Best Shaving Product. Period.
I have been using this product for over 10 years and will never switch to another one. You don't need a pre-shave oil or after-shave with this product, which saves money as well as time! It goes on clear - meaning that you can see exactly where you are shaving to ensure a clean shave without hair spots. Most importantly, if you nick yourself, you will not feel the sting because of some ingredient that helps soothe the skin. I have turned more men AND WOMEN onto this product than any other in my cabinet. The ladies LOVE it for their legs. It truly is the BEST SHAVING PRODUCT!

Beard Lube is THE only shaving brand.
The right amount of creaminess to make for a perfect shave. Both in the shower or at the sink. And, it’s easy to rinse off. The only brand my husband will use.

Love this stuff!
I have a beard most of the time, so this lasts a really long time. It does everything is supposed to.
