The Moda Take

DEPOT® No. 401 Pre & Post Shave Cream Skin Protector — protective, emollient and soothing cream for before and after shaving. Olive oil, sweet almond oil, eucalyptus essential oil, and glycerin prepare the skin before shaving and restore comfort after. Ideal for all skin types, including the most sensitive.

The Moda Team Review

Great shaving results start before the razor touches the skin — and No. 401 is the step that most men skip and then wonder why shaving is uncomfortable. Applied before shaving, it softens the skin, conditions the beard, and reduces the friction that causes irritation. Applied after shaving, it soothes redness and restores the skin's moisture balance. The Olive Oil and Sweet Almond Oil are deeply emollient, and the Eucalyptus essential oil gives a distinctive masculine scent that refreshes the skin simultaneously.

Why Moda Carries This

DEPOT® builds a complete shaving system that covers every step — and No. 401 is the step that transforms shaving from a quick morning chore into a proper grooming ritual. Our male clients who use the full DEPOT shave range consistently report better skin, less irritation, and a routine they actually look forward to.

Key Ingredients

COMMON QUESTIONS

Good to Know

Pre-shave preparation significantly reduces irritation and improves the closeness of the shave. No. 401 softens the beard hair and conditions the skin before the razor makes contact, reducing friction and the mechanical stress that causes razor burn and ingrown hairs. The Olive Oil and Sweet Almond Oil create a barrier that helps the razor glide rather than drag.
No. 401 is a skin protector designed as a pre-shave prep before a shaving product such as No. 404 Soothing Shaving Soap or No. 403 Pre-Shave & Softening Beard Oil. It doesn't create lather or provide the lubrication needed for the actual shave. Apply No. 401, let it absorb briefly, then follow with your chosen shaving product.
Yes — reducing post-shave redness on sensitive skin is one of No. 401's core functions. DEPOT® specifically developed it for all skin types including the most sensitive. The Olive Oil and Sweet Almond Oil are non-irritating and deeply emollient. Used before and after shaving, it creates a protective and soothing barrier at both ends of the shave.
It can be used wherever skin preparation and post-shave care is needed — head shaving is a common use. The formula contains no ingredients that restrict it to facial use. The emollient and soothing properties are equally beneficial on the scalp or neck as on the face.
The pre-shave step is the more important one that most people miss entirely. Using No. 401 before shaving and your existing aftershave balm after shaving is a logical combination. Adding No. 401 as a pre-shave step alone — even without replacing your existing aftershave — will typically produce a noticeable improvement in comfort during and after the shave.
