There are a lot of variables you could choose to pick the best shaving cream overall. Some guys prefer an unscented formula, while others want translucence, and some pick based on portability. Well, we ll get to all that below. But for the top slot, I have to give it to the masters at Claus Porto. Not only does their Musgo Real shave cream have a brilliant scent of sandalwood, patchouli, and vanilla, but using it feels like a treat, not a chore. It s got a quick lather, a smooth glide, and leaves you feeling like you just got a leisurely clean-up at an old-school barber shop even if you re rushing out the door to get to work.
