Shaving rash is often caused by razor blade friction on the skin, aggravated by harsh or drying shaving prep.

To avoid irritation, ensure a clean, sharp blade and replace dull ones promptly.

You also need to use a quality, non-drying shave prep for sensitive skin, like our Sensitive Shave Gel, Oil, or Serum.

Follow a good shaving routine to prevent irritation and ingrown hairs and moisturize post-shave for more skin protection.

You might also want to shave in the evening for overnight skin recovery.

Ingrown hairs are common, especially around the neck and jawline. They occur when hair curls back under the skin, causing bumps, potential infections, or cysts.

To prevent them, shave in the direction of hair growth, not against it, to avoid hair distortion.

Use a gentle face scrub to remove dead skin cells and release trapped hairs.

Moisturize for supple skin and unhindered hair growth and follow a good shaving routine to naturally reduce ingrown hair risks for a smooth, irritation-free shave.

The choice is ultimately a matter of personal preference between shave oil and shave gel.

Shave oil is ideal for frequent travelers due to their compact size, fitting perfectly in hand luggage.

They also have environmental benefits, using fewer raw materials and requiring only 2–3 drops per shave.

Many prefer our shave gels, which resemble traditional canned products while delivering excellent results.

For an exceptionally close shave, you can combine both. Start with 2–3 drops of oil, massage into the skin, then apply a small amount of gel and shave.

If you decide to return a product to us, or if you have a faulty product and wish to have a refund instead of an exchange, we will notify you via email of your refund and we aim to do this within fourteen (14) working days.

The refund will go to your original payment method, so for example if you paid for your goods by card then we will refund your money back to that specific card, or if you paid using PayPal, then we will refund you via PayPal. And so on.

Important: We can only refund shipping costs if the return is a result of our error or if you are returning a faulty product. We can only process returns and refunds for items purchased directly from the online shop at kingofshaves.com.

Our products are guaranteed for twelve (12) months from the purchase date. If a product fails within this period, we will exchange it or provide a full refund.

You can return unused and unopened items within fourteen (14) days of receiving your order for a full refund or exchange. Please ensure the goods are in a saleable condition.

UK's Consumer Contracts Regulations require written notice of cancellation within fourteen (14) working days. However, goods don't need to be returned within this period for a refund.

We'll process the refund within fourteen (14) days of receiving your written cancellation, but we may delay it until we receive the items or sufficient evidence of their return. If non-standard delivery was chosen, the extra cost won't be refunded.

Contact our Customer Care team online or at wecare@shave.com for a returns number, returns address, and a pre-paid returns label (if applicable). For faulty products, we may provide a pre-paid returns label.

We encourage contacting us before returning items, as it may not be economically or environmentally viable. We're committed to replacing faulty items or offering full refunds—your satisfaction is our priority!

All BFPO addresses must be registered as UK, rather than the country where you are posted. 

We will then deliver the parcel to the BFPO in London. It then becomes the responsibility of the British Forces to deliver your parcel to the correct location. 

As BFPO can take more time to deliver than a standard UK order, especially if you are not based in the UK, please allow up to 21 days for delivery.
