Zen Aftershave Gel with Ho Wood & Bergamot
Soothe. Refresh. Strengthen.
Shaving isn’t just about removing hair—it’s an assault on your skin. Razor blades strip away natural oils, leave behind micro-abrasions, and can cause redness, irritation, and dryness. Enter Zen Aftershave Gel, a cooling, hydrating, and skin-tightening formula designed to calm, replenish, and refine your skin post-shave.
Infused with the powerful trio of Ho Wood, Bergamot, and Sandalwood essential oils, this lightweight gel instantly cools, tones, and soothes the skin, reducing irritation, redness, and sensitivity. It’s packed with glycerin—a powerhouse humectant that tightens fine lines and smooths skin texture, creating the perfect post-shave finish.
With Vitamin E to protect, aloe vera to refresh, and a blend of botanical oils to restore moisture balance, this gel is more than just an aftershave—it’s a skin-strengthening, complexion-enhancing essential.

The Story Behind Zen Shaving Oil & Aftershave Gel
Some products are born out of necessity—but the Zen Shaving Oil & Aftershave Gel were born out of obsession.
For years, customers asked us if we made a shaving range. We didn’t. But when my friend’s husband—a London TV producer who had tried every high-end shaving product on the market—told me he still hadn’t found one that ticked all the boxes, I knew it was time to create something better.
I spoke to real shaving enthusiasts—people who had tested everything from luxury gentlemen’s brands to high-street essentials. The common complaints were always the same:
- Shaving gels were hydrating, but their rinsability was terrible—leaving residue that clogged razors.
- They didn’t provide a close enough shave, often leading to irritation.
- They lacked the perfect scent—either overpowering or clashing with other grooming products.
So, I started researching. What base oils provided the smoothest shave? What essential oils could balance, tone, and refresh the skin? What formula would rinse cleanly but still deeply hydrate?
After months of formulation, I found the key: castor oil. It allows for an incredibly close shave, but there was a problem—it’s thick, sticky, and smells awful. Most brands avoid it for this reason. But I was determined.
So, I worked to refine the perfect blend of oils that would:
✔ Keep castor oil’s unbeatable glide, but with a lighter consistency for effortless rinsability.
✔ Balance the thickness with fast-absorbing botanical oils, leaving the skin hydrated but not greasy.
✔ Create an incredible scent profile that layers beautifully from shaving oil to aftershave gel to moisturiser.
The result? The Zen Shaving Oil & Aftershave Gel, a pairing so transformative that even our female customers started stealing it for their own shaving routines.
Real-World Results: A Shaving Experience Unlike Any Other
My friend’s husband—who had tried them all—put it to the test.
Two weeks later, he walked into my shop looking like a different man.
Gone were the fine lines and stress-induced crow’s feet around his eyes.
Gone was the dull, grey complexion from endless hours in front of screens.
In their place? A healthy glow, smooth skin, and a dramatically more youthful appearance.
His verdict? "The best shaving oil I’ve ever used—with the best rinsability I’ve ever had."
And he wasn’t alone.
✔ Men came back for more—because their partners kept using it.
✔ Wives & girlfriends were buying their own sets—because it made their legs feel incredible.
✔ Customers were layering the scent—shaving oil, aftershave gel, then a touch of sandalwood cream—because the fragrance was unreal.
This isn’t just a shaving range. It’s a ritual of self-care, rejuvenation, and pure indulgence.
