Shaving cream is a category of cosmetics used for shaving preparation. The purpose of shaving cream is to soften the hair by providing lubrication.
Different types of shaving creams include aerosol shaving cream (also known as shave foam), latherless shaving cream (also called brushless shaving cream and non-aerosol shaving cream), and lather shaving cream or lathering shaving cream. The term shaving cream can also refer to the lather produced with a shaving brush from shaving soap or a lather shaving cream.
When it comes to Shaving foam it is done in two ways either wet or dry, it depends upon the individual whether they prefer it dry or wet. The best option that most men prefer is the traditional way of doing their beard that is the wet shave, as they are more convenient pocket friendly, and also less messy. Although it is time-consuming it exfoliates your skin much better and also the blades are more stuck to your skin as compared to razors and give a much better smooth shave, but the wet shave is more dangerous as your skin is prone to blades directly as compared to electric razors.
Tips to get the perfect shave foam
- Lathering the shaving soap is one of the key processes of your shaving. It is very easy to apply the lather if you know the correct way to apply it to get desired results.
- If you would apply an incomplete lather then it would not penetrate your skin completely and you would not get the desired shave.
- If you would apply a too thick shaving foam it would lack flexibility and make shaving difficult instead of easy.
