At MANjr, we get a lot of stuff to review. Because we’re a men’s site, we end up trying out a lot of different shaving products. Some are good, others are not. The shaving stuff we got from Aveda falls into the good category.

First, we tried out the Aveda Men Pure-Formance Shave Cream. The stylish bottle promised some natural, moisturizing goodness, and the product did not disappoint. The shave cream contains natural emollients, Vitamin E, aloe, argan oil and scutellaria baicalensis root extract. There’s also this soothing proprietary phto-active blend in the mix that includes seaweed, licorice root, sage extract, plai oil and tamanu  oil. Add it all up and you’re basically putting some pretty smooth rainforest action on your face before shaving. The result? Less irritation, reduced razor burn and some serious moisturizing as an added benefit.

The Aveda Pure-Formance Dual Action Aftershave provides a nice finish to your shaving experience. The aftershave adds extra protection against razor burn and irritation, and it provides even more moisturizing action in non-greasy, not-overbearingly-fragrant way. The aroma is a mild mix of natural flavors like lemon, spearmint, vetiver and lavender oils. The kunzea extract adds a nice touch as well.

If you like natural products that yield effective results, check out Aveda’s shaving products for men. Even the bottles are made from 45% post-consumer recycled HDPE. If you don’t like perfumey products that cater more to cologne types than moisturizing close shavers, you can’t beat the rainforest-to-the-face feeling that these Aveda shaving products have to offer.
