What Kind of Shaving Products Do I Need?

Top Recommended Shaving Products to Use

• 1

  Shaving cream, foam or gel

  Shaving your face dry is possible, but it leaves you prone to nicks and can greatly irritate your skin. To make your shaving experience better and to save your skin, use shaving cream, shaving foam or shave gel. The type you choose (gel, foam or cream) is up to your personal preference.

  Washcloth

  Have a washcloth on hand for preconditioning the area to be shaved. This does two things:

  1. A dry washcloth can help lightly exfoliate the skin, prepping it for shaving.
  2. A wet washcloth helps dampen the face, prepping it for the shave cream, foam or gel.

  A washcloth also helps wipe away excess shaving cream and loose hairs at the end of your shave.

  Blade oil

  Oiling your shaver blades with blade oil extends the lifespan and keeps the blades running smoother. This helps reduce hair pulling or snagging for a smooth shave.

  Cleaning brush

  You should clean your electric shaver often. A soft cleaning brush or canister of compressed air will help you clean your shaver easily. A clean shaver makes your shaving experience better.
