Formulated with shea butter and botanicals, this solid shave stick melts on contact to cushion the blade, reduce razor burn, and prevent ingrown hairs. Unlike foams and gels, it nourishes the skin while you shave, leaving it soft, hydrated, and calm. Mess-free and travel-ready, it’s your skin-first solution for shaving.
Softer hair, smoother glide, fewer nicks, reduced razor burn, and less chance of ingrown hairs. Individual results vary.
One, 2.3 Ounce (68 ml) tube. The Shea Butter Shave Stick has a 2-Year shelf life. This stick can last you well over 6 months. Do not expose it to direct sunlight as this may cause melting. Keep in dark and cool places. Be advised that the shea butter may stain so wash your hands after use and avoid wearing high neck collars if applied to the neck or jawline. This is the best alternative to shaving cream, shaving gel, shaving foam, and it gives more substance than just soap and water. Gently massage into clean skin to protect against harmful sun rays, targeting spots of hyperpigmentation. This product contains raw unprocessed African shea butter, roots, flowers and essential oils.

Science-Back Ingredients
Calms Hormonal + Cystic Acne
Soothes sensitive skin
1.) Prep: On clean skin, push up the stick and apply a thin, even layer to the area you’ll shave.
2.) Soften: Gently massage in (the warmth of your hands helps it melt and coat hairs).
3.) Shave: Use a clean, single-blade disposable razor, shaving with the direction of hair growth.
4.) Rinse & finish: Rinse blade often. After shaving, rinse skin and pat dry. Follow with Umber Hair Reducing Fade Oil and/or Facial Moisturizer.
5.) Frequency: Use as needed; also great between shaves as a conditioning balm.
Tips & Cautions
***Product can stain fabrics; wash hands after use and avoid high-collar clothing if applied near the neck.
Oils/waxes can clog non-disposable razors—disposables recommended.
Keep away from direct sunlight/heat to prevent melting.
This solid butter stick melts on contact to create a low-friction glide that cushions the blade and protects the skin. Shea butter forms a breathable barrier, while tamanu and turmeric help calm visible irritation. The result: fewer nicks, less razor burn, and reduced ingrown hairs with a smoother post-shave feel.
Shea Butter (Vitellaria paradoxa) – Rich in fatty acids; deeply emollient for protective glide and post-shave comfort.
Calophyllum – Known to support the look of healing and soothe irritated, post-shave skin.
Curcuma longa – Antioxidant botanical that helps calm visible redness and even tone.
Boswellia – Helps improve the appearance of bumps and post-shave marks.
Hibiscus & Rose – Soothing aromabotanicals that support soft, comfortable skin.
Borututu Root – Traditional botanical prized for skin-soothing support.
Umber Shea Shave Stick - Vitellaria paradoxa, Curcuma Longa, Carica Papaya, Calophyllum
Butter-Based Glide
Most shaving agents (creams/foams) rely on lather and surfactants that strip the skin’s natural oils.
Your shave stick uses raw, unrefined shea butter which melt on contact to cushion the blade, soften hair, and leave skin nourished post-shave instead of tight or dry.
Multi-Tasking Formula
Not just for shaving — it doubles as a moisturizer, sunscreen base, and even a conditioning mask.
Traditional foams/gels are single-use and drying; your formula is multifunctional and skin-supportive.
Targeted for Ingrown-Prone + Hormonal Skin
Formulated with tamanu, turmeric, frankincense, and papaya, it actively works to calm razor burn, reduce dark marks, and minimize ingrowns.
Most shaving products don’t address these deeper post-shave concerns.
Stick Format = Precision + Portability
Mess-free, solid stick format means it’s easy to apply directly where needed (jawline, chin, bikini line, underarms).
Creams and foams are messy, wasteful, and not travel-friendly.
Founder-Led Innovation
Designed from lived experience with PCOS, ingrown hairs, and sensitive shaving routines.
It’s not just a generic butter blend — it’s tested and formulated for the real pain points your community faces.
Daily Routine
Gently cleanse your face morning and night with the African Black Soap Face Wash. Pro tip: Pair it with our Large Face Scrubber for a deeper clean.
Remove hair from the root using plucking, waxing, threading, sugar waxing, or epilating for best results. Apply a small amount of Hair Reducing Fade Oil twice daily—even on days you don’t remove hair. Note: Shaving, electric razors, and hair removal creams will not deliver significant results.
Follow with our Facial Moisturizer to lock in hydration. Always apply after the Fade Oil, never before. Apply any other product after Hair ReducingFade Oil
Use the Facial Sugar Scrub before or after washing your face.Continue with daily routine.Tip: exfoliate no more then 2-3x a week.
Apply the Shea Shave Stick Butter to damp skin, massage in, and shave in the direction of hair growth. Continue with your daily routine. Tip: Use a single-blade razor to reduce and prevent ingrown hairs. Look up “shave mapping” to master your technique
Overall rating: 4.4 / 5 from 41 reviews.
I used Umber By J. Lenay in 2024. I used the fade oil and facial scrub religiously for the entire year. I loved my results. Less chin hair, dark marks faded and my skin was even toned and soft. That year I was so comfortable in my skin and in true sunlight. I was glowing!!!!! Less picking and plucking mangy chin hairs no more ingrown chin hairs. That year my face and confidence was popping!!!! Okkkaaayyyy!! 10/10!!
I was unable to push the shave stick container so I used my hand to apply to my face and my gel polish was faded. Be careful if you have polish on. It should could with a warning that it fades polish.
Be careful with the shave stick. It faded the gel polish on my nails. It should come with a applicator stick to apply.
Just did not do what I thought it would…it was clumpy and did not soften the skin
Product stains. Not suitable as a moisturizer or sunscreen.
It’s way TOO THICK
Smooth and exhilarating!
The shave stick is amazing will have your skin feeling like what hair, however I don't recommend using it on your chin because the hair will grow back & that's when the problem w/ in grown hairs begin.
I love this product as I am a shaver. It (along with the other products) make my skin feel and look great. I too have PCOS and also dealing with hair loss to I am trying to increase hair on my head while reducing hair on my chin/face…what a challenge!! My tip for the old packaging is to use a hair dryer to loosen/warm the shave stick so it will move. I see there is new packaging, which may help even better.
I will encourage you to please try, you won’t regret it!
This is a great product to shave with. Keeps my skin moisturized and removes my facial hair with NO irritation! But the process to get the product on your face is a pain! Maybe consider another container for the product because the product works...but how it's packaged is the issue! Also knowing that it stains...tell your customers how to remove the stains. I haven't seen it stains my towels but it definitely stains my nails. To remove the stain, use a rubbing alcohol spray bottle...spray your nails with the alcohol, rub and wash with soap and water and it will remove the stains.
I've been using for about 28 days and there is a noticeable difference in the dark marks and regrowing hair on my face. Looking forward to the results of the next 28 days
New! Shea Butter Shave Stick
Haven't use it yet
I did exactly what the instructions said and the shave stick is still as hard as a rock. I used steaming hot water and it still didn't push up.
Truthfully, it's a little bothersome to always have to warm it up to push it out. But, aside from that, I do enjoy how it makes my skin feel. And the struggle to push it up definitely doesn't stop me from using it.
Shea works good with shaving. Only problem is the hair grows back too fast. After shaving I still put on on Umber oil for hair not to grow and umber moisturizer still having stubble. I will keep it up hopefully I see results soon.
Store owner replied: Hi Terri, You gotta follow those detailed instructions! You can still shave while using the Hair Reducing Fade Oil however, for the very best results we recommend removing hair from the root by using methods such as waxing. Shaving will not give drastic results and may elongate the process. :( We do appreciate your review and your purchase. Email us at customercare@umberjlenay.com if you have any questions or concerns <3 Umber Support Team
I like how smoothly it shaves the hair, and how good the skin feels. However, it still starts to growing back within one day, no differently from other methods I have used. I have only used two times. I will have to see if it slows the growth after using for a while before I can give it a 5 star rating.
Store owner replied: Hi Marva, You left a review on the Shea butter shave stick, but it does not have any hair inhibiting properties. Please purchase the Hair Reducing Fade Oil to get those effects :) Umber Support Team

The Shae Butter Shave Stick is a lovely product & It made my face feel so soft. ❤️ A little of it goes a long way. I don't use it for shaving because I don't shave. I pluck my hairs. I'm using it as a moisturizer, sunscreen, and to help fade the dark marks on my face from acne. Hopefully by next month I will start to see some fading of the blemishes on my face & I'm excited to see.🤗 I'm new to this product, so I haven't used it long. The Shae Butter Stick definitely stains, so be careful. Washing your hands throughout the day definitely removes the stains on your nails and hands.
Store owner replied: Hi Quanise, Thank you for your review on our Shea Butter Shave Stick! We love that your skin is feeling softer and that you're using it for all of its uses! Please keep us updated with your results in regards to the dark marks from acne! Thanks, Umber
The Shea Butter Shave Stick has been working wondering for my skin. It feels much smoother and because it doubles as sunscreen, I use a little be before going outside to protect my skin. Lovin this product!
I was slightly disappointed when I received my stick. The directions given is not what I have been able to do. It appears that I received a damaged one because I have to use a small spatula to get it out as oppose to pushing it up and putting on my face.
Store owner replied: Hi Shayla, Thank you for your feedback. In cooler climates, it's possible for the shea butter to remain firm making it a little difficult to push out of the tube. If you wrap it in a warm towel and let is sit for about 10 seconds it should bring the butter to a higher temp, allowing it to slide out easily. This should do the trick! If you have any more questions or comments, please feel free to reach out to us via email UmberJLenay@gmail.com or visit us on Instagram @UmberJLenay. We look forward to hearing from you :) Thanks, Umber
Thanks for this great product! It has really helped to soothe my irriation from shaving. I will continue using to see if this will also help with my dark marks.
Store owner replied: Hi Akpene, Our Shea Butter Shave stick is one of our favorite products! It's great that it has helped soothe skin from irritation commonly caused by shaving. Please keep us posted about the fading of your dark spots! Thanks, Umber
I was looking for something with african shea butter and this came across my screen. It's really soft and I use it as a shave stick
So far, I really enjoy the shave stick - it makes shaving easy and doesn't irritate my skin. It says you can also use it as a mask, but I haven't done that yet. Very nice product 👌
I've been using this raw shea butter on my face for shaving. At first it kept getting stuck in the bottle but just wrapping a warm towel around it helped. My skin feels softer and its been helping with my hyperpigmentation as well. It says the shea butter can also be used as a sort of "sunscreen" but I haven't done that yet but am looking forward to it! So happy with the progress so far!
Shea Shave Stick
I absolutely love the shea shave stick it makes my skin feel extra soft…
Pure shea butter
A little goes a long way. After I rubbed it all in my face felt soft. Not sure if it was due to the combo of face scrub (from this line) and this item but I love it. People said my skin looks like it’s glowing
I forgot to take before pictures but after one use my skin feels amazing.
I just received the item. Used it once. My skin feels amazing.
added bonus: dark spot corrector!!
One of the ingredients of the Shea Shave Stick is borututu root and I'm here for all natural ingredients! This product left my face feeling softer and amazing!
The shave balm really does help fade the dark spots!!!!
I’m very sensitive when it comes to my face and the dark spots that I have in my problem areas. This Shea shave stick is a game changer. With consistent use, it has made my dark spots lighter and has given me the reassurance that there is hope to get rid of them permanently. I ordered my second one and can’t wait to use it consistently to get the results I know that are waiting for me.
Amazingly life changing product!
bought it for a friend and they love it. Adds to a nice shave....
This product is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Thank you!!!
