A good head shave starts well before the blade touches skin. Most men skip the prep, go straight in with whatever foam is in the cupboard, and wonder why their scalp is red and bumpy by lunch.
The Necessities Kit gives you the full prime and shave routine in one box.
- Skull Charcoal Scrub: clears dead skin and buildup before the shave
- Skull Gel Cleanser: lifts oil and residue so the scalp is clean and ready
- Modern Skull Shave Cream: a rich, slick lather that protects every pass
- Skull Aftershave Lotion: calms and hydrates straight after, with a matte finish
For the man who shaves his head regularly and wants it done right every time. No guesswork, no borrowed products, no raw scalp afterwards.

I started losing my hair when I turned 40. Over the years I’ve just had number one haircut . It was after I noticed the Bareskull advert I decided to shave off the little hair I had and start using the product of Bareskull . It’s great . Easy to apply and my wife loves it. I’m using the Skull Matt moisturiser and Skull Gel

We're so glad to hear that it's been working well for you and that your wife loves it too!
We understand how important it is to find the right product and we're happy to be a part of your journey.
Thank you for choosing The Bare Skull Co.
I made the decision to go bald 6 months ago.
I noticed my hair line was thinning and wasn’t terrible but under heat, sweat and beaches it became more and more noticeable.
I made the decision to shave it off but looked online at ways to help whether it be moisturizer or skin care products.
This stuff and skincare routine has been a game changer for me.
The amount of compliments I’ve gotten is insane.
Truly do yourself a favour and get on this.
Thanks so much for sharing your journey, Giles! 🙌

We’re stoked to have played a part in helping you feel even more confident in your skin. Appreciate the support, mate – you’re rocking the look!

Skull Matte Moisturiser
Recently purchased the scrub, aftershave and moisturizer and loving it so far, definitely going to be a regular customer
Great product. Leaves your face totally refreshed and it smells great
Have been trialling different moisturisers for years in the hopes of finding one that doesn't leave my head looking shiny. After the first use I can finally say I've found one! It smells amazing and a little goes a long way which is great value for money. I'll be a regular customer for sure!
An amazing scrub that helps prepare for shaving. Smells awesome and a little goes a long way which is great value for money.
I have been shaving my head for close to 10 years now and finally found a product that does what it says it does. Every item in the kit smells great and doesn't leave my head looking like an oil field when I'm finished which is a first! Customer service has been nothing short of amazing with quick postage and a personalised message inside the box. Will definitely be a repeat customer!
Bought this as a Xmas present for my husband. He has never been one to take care of his skin after shaving etc. After only one use he can see and feel a huge difference., Smells gorgeous too. Thank you bare skull for such great products!!
Amazing moisturizer and smells fantastic!! Will definitely be ordering this again
My hubby really pleased with this purchase will definitely be ordering again, thank you bare skull
I have just used this Shave Cream ( for my face).
It is the most luxurious ( so my partner says),feel ever.
You and your partner, won't be disappointed.
Love it.
Antonio.
I ordered products for my hubby & they arrived in good time for Christmas... Along with a little note from the business owners who obviously back their products. Can't wait for him to try them out!
Used these two products to shave and moisturise my face this morning, couldn’t be happier with the results. Shaving cream felt nicer than most products sold at the supermarket and the after shave lotion was amazing, better than any I’ve ever tried so far.
Shaving used to be a painful task and only performed every second day at best. Now that I have switched to using The Bare Skull Co.'s modern shaving cream I can shave daily without getting an inflamed neck and face.
I originally purchased the matte moisturiser for my husband, however I have taken it hostage. This is a nice and light moisturiser with a lovely scent. It goes on quickly without leaving a heavy or sticky feeling. With a natural matte finish, the skin is left looking soft and my skin doesn't go oily for hours. It lasts for ages too - a little goes a long way. Also, I love that it’s Australian made and contains no toxins.
I have found all their products amazing however my favourite is the bare skull charcoal scrub is the absolute best. Any dry skin ist somehow gets rid of and feels great. I would definitely recommend this product.
I only use an electric razor as it shaves me heaps of time but I never thought of using products before. Now I have used these I can't go back. I might ever try a wet shave next time.
I always worry about a shiny head with moisturiser but this is the first one I have tried that helps to keep the shine away.
I only use an electric razor and this made my head feel amazing and cooled my scalped immediately.
Loved the feel as it lathers up in your hands, way better than any other product I have ever used. this is definitely a favourite and smells so fresh. My partner couldn't get enough of it.
Never used a scrub before, wow what a huge difference. My head looks and feels amazing. love the smell too.
The perfect way to finish my shaving experience. Light smell which is perfect not to compete with my cologne
Made my skin feel soft to touch, the ingredients are premium and it does show. No razor burn or irritation which I have had with other products before
