Glide No. 8 Botanical Shave Cream

A great shave isn’t just about the blade — it’s about what’s between the blade and your skin. Glide No. 8 is a fragrance-free botanical shave cream that cushions, hydrates, and defends against razor irritation with every pass. Powered by Raw Cocoa Butter, Cold-Pressed Castor Oil, and White Kaolin Clay, this whipped formula creates rich slip for low-friction shaving and a more comfortable, closer finish.

Built for sensitive, reactive skin, it protects the skin barrier during the shave and leaves skin feeling calm, moisturized, and soft after rinsing — never stripped, tight, or dry.

Key Benefits:

• Rich razor glide — Castor Oil acts as a natural lubricant for effortless, low-friction blade movement
• Skin barrier protection — Raw Cocoa Butter creates a physical barrier that cushions the blade and locks in moisture
• Silky lather — White Kaolin Clay adds a silky feel and physically shields skin from the blade
• Gentle cleansing — Castile Soap (saponified olive oil) creates a non-stripping lather that cleanses follicles as you shave
• Reduces razor burn — formula leaves skin calm, hydrated, and smooth post-shave
• Fragrance-free, hexane-free, botanical grade

How to Use Glide No. 8:

1. Apply a generous amount to damp skin or use with a shave brush for a richer lather
2. Shave as normal, rinsing the blade frequently
3. Rinse thoroughly — skin should feel soft and hydrated, not tight

Brush not included.

The Bath Shoppe Glossary of Clean Ingredients

Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil
A heavy-duty humectant that provides essential “super-slip.” Acts as a natural lubricant, allowing the razor to glide effortlessly while stabilizing the lather for a richer, more protective consistency.

Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil
Provides a deep, effective cleanse without stripping the skin’s natural oils. Contributes to the structural integrity of the cream, ensuring it holds its whipped texture.

Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter
An antioxidant-dense lipid that creates a physical barrier on the skin. Its high melting point ensures formula stability in warm climates while providing intense moisture.

Potassium Olivate & Aqua (Castile Soap)
A traditional, plant-based surfactant crafted from saponified olive oil. Creates a gentle, non-stripping lather that cleanses follicles while you shave.

Kaolin (White Kaolin Clay)
A microscopic mineral buffer that adds a silky feel to the lather and physically shields skin from the blade.

Benzyl Alcohol, Salicylic Acid & Sorbic Acid
A clean, broad-spectrum preservation system that keeps the botanical formula fresh and shelf-stable without synthetic parabens.
