SHAVEWORKS
Shaveworks — Advanced Post-Shave Skincare for Smoother, Irritation-Free Skin
Shaveworks was founded in 2009 with a specific and underserved purpose: creating high-performance products that make the aftermath of shaving — razor bumps, ingrown hairs, redness, irritation — genuinely manageable rather than simply tolerable. The brand is part of the Anthony family, sharing the same philosophy of clean, functional, dermatologist-tested formulations that address real skin concerns with clinical-grade active ingredients. Where most post-shave products soothe superficially, Shaveworks addresses the underlying mechanisms of post-shave skin stress with precision. It is a compelling personal care brand for men and women.
The hero product — The Cool Fix — is a glycolic and salicylic acid treatment gel that has achieved almost cult status in the post-shave skincare space. The combination of glycolic acid (which exfoliates the skin surface to free trapped hairs), salicylic acid (which penetrates the pore to clear the congestion that leads to ingrown hair formation), and caffeine (which reduces redness and inflammation) makes The Cool Fix the most targeted and effective ingrown hair treatment available without a prescription. The Pearl Soufflé Shave Cream completes the system, providing lavender-infused pre-shave preparation that exfoliates and hydrates before the blade passes. At Gentleman & Son we stock the Shaveworks range available in Australia. Free delivery Australia-wide on orders over $50.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Shaveworks The Cool Fix and how does it work?
The Cool Fix is a glycolic and salicylic acid treatment gel applied to the skin after shaving to prevent and treat ingrown hairs, razor bumps, and post-shave irritation. Glycolic acid (an AHA) exfoliates the skin surface to remove the dead skin layer that traps hairs and causes them to curl back into the skin. Salicylic acid (a BHA) is oil-soluble and penetrates into the pore itself to clear the congestion that leads to ingrown hair formation. Caffeine reduces redness and inflammation. The combination addresses ingrown hairs at every stage of formation, making The Cool Fix effective both as a preventive treatment and for existing bumps.
Is Shaveworks suitable for men as well as women?
Yes — Shaveworks products are fully gender-neutral in formulation and are recommended equally for men and women. The Cool Fix is particularly effective for men who shave their face and neck and experience persistent ingrown hairs or razor bumps — the same active ingredients that address ingrown hairs in any context work identically on facial shaving. Anthony Ingrown Hair Treatment (from the Anthony range) offers a comparable product in the Gentleman & Son range.
When should I apply Shaveworks The Cool Fix?
Apply The Cool Fix to dry, cleansed skin after shaving — before any moisturiser or aftershave product. For best results, apply daily to areas prone to ingrown hairs for the first 1–2 weeks, then every other day for maintenance. The glycolic and salicylic acids are most effective on clean, dry skin where they can penetrate without being diluted by water or blocked by heavier products applied on top.
Is Shaveworks paraben-free and dermatologist tested?
Yes — all Shaveworks products are paraben-free and have been allergy and dermatologist tested. The formulations are developed with sensitive post-shave skin in mind — the active ingredients (glycolic acid, salicylic acid, caffeine) are included at concentrations effective enough to produce results while being appropriate for daily use on freshly-shaved skin.
