What it is
Baxter of California Beard Line-Up Shave Gel is a clear, non-foaming gel, so you can see exactly where you’re shaving. That makes it useful for edging a beard, goatee or sideburns as well as for full shaves.
Key ingredients
- Aloe: Included for calming hydration.
- Vitamins C and E: Baxter says they help with shaving irritation.
- Menthol (Sensitivity consideration): For a cooling feel.
How to use
For a full shave, apply a thin layer over the area. To line up a beard, lay the gel along the edge you want to shape. Baxter says it works with or without water and won’t clog the blade.
Who should be careful
The label lists fragrance (parfum), denatured alcohol, eucalyptus leaf oil, limonene and menthol. It may sting sensitive or freshly irritated skin.
What the brand claims
Baxter notes 2018 awards from Men’s Health and GQ and calls it paraben free.
