Load your brush with a high-quality shaving cream made for your skin type. Avoid canned foams. |
Sensitive, Normal or Dry skin? No matter how elegant, famous or innovative, shaving creams should always be chosen according to the skin type. It is true that some gentlemen may close their eyes and ignore this aspect as soon as they smell their fresh, alluring scents, but being picky with the creamy lather can only bring advantages.
Sensitive shaving creams are meant to repair, protect, and prevent fast irritation. Their active ingredients cannot be substituted for the ones found in products for “normal” skin. These do not have the same properties even if some of the basic components may repeat themselves. Using dry skin formulations to treat sensitive skin is also a misinformed approach. These products aim at replenishing dehydrated skin with extra conditioning, not fitting the sensitive purpose no matter how rich in their texture. Grooming experts have made things even easier for the ones who still struggle to find the perfect shaving must have: creams for all skin types.
