  • Why should I use BOLT Shave Butter instead of soap or conditioner?

    The short answer is: it simply works and feels better. The long answer: Our shave butter cushions much better than soap and dissipates (washes off the razor) much better than conditioner. This means less nicks and cuts with a much more efficient shaving experience. It has been uniquely formulated for leg-shaving. Aloe vera moisturizes and replenishes your skin while a dash of menthol provides a pleasant cooling sensation. Trust us — you’ll never use soap or conditioner again!

  • Why should I exfoliate my legs?

    Exfoliating rids your legs of dead skin buildup, dirt and other bacteria that can find itself in your hair follicles. It makes for healthier skin! But perhaps more importantly for us leg shavers, it minimizes the likelihood of infection in the hair follicles leading to painful and irritating ingrown hairs. If you struggle with ingrown hairs, exfoliate! If you don’t, it’s still a satisfying addition to your leg shaving routine. The scrub is the drug. Do it.
