Hi,I would recommend not using the brush to apply the lather to your face, as this is very bad for sensitive skin. Lather the soap/cream in the bowl and apply with hand(s).  As far as non-comedogenic shaving goes, it is a rather small market.This is the only thing I could find online.http://www.remediesdirect.com/natural-shaving-cream.htmlI would also recommend Kiss My Face shave creams, as I have used them before, very gentle.http://www.kissmyface.com/product/grid/35/204

I use the PanOxyl soap bar as shaving cream. I just clean my face really well with it, then i shave it off with a razor. It's the only way i knew for sure that shaving wouldn't break me out, and it hasn't!

I've always had the best luck with Jack Black products (purchased from Sephora). Looking at JB's website you can see that they employ something they call "PureScience". I'm not sure how much BS is involved or if this holds any signifgance or value to anyone... I do try to seek out and use organic products. I personally prefer them.

Aveeno therapeutic shave gel. It is the best shaving cream ever for sensitive or acne-prone skin. Cheap and available at most department/grocery stores that have cosmetics face wash etc. I highly recommend it.
