Shaving Gels, Oils, and Foams - Australia
All about convenience and speed, shaving foams offers an instantly rich lather with the press of a button. Santa Maria Novella's Shaving Foam is enriched with cushioning olive oil and makes for a discerning choice. It is beautifully scented with their classic Tobacco Toscano fragrance. Transparent Shaving Gels such as those from American Crew or Baxter of California are the go-to for precision shaving for cleaning up the edges of the neckline and beard, easily applied without the need to lather. Shaving Oils offer the best of both worlds, and double as a pre-shave that can be massaged and worked into the skin.
Shaving Gels
Shaving gel is a grooming product used to provide lubrication and protection for the skin during the shaving process. It helps the razor glide smoothly over the skin, reducing the risk of nicks, cuts, and irritation. Shaving gels are typically clear or translucent, making it easy to shape facial hair. Often this includes ingredients that help keep the skin hydrated. Simply apply with fingers to the designed shave areas.
With Baxter of California’s Beard Line-Up Shave Gel, it’s all in the name. It’s non-foaming and transparent, and is designed for dry and wet shaving alike. Enriched with aloe vera, and vitamins C and E, it staves off discomfort.
Shaving Oils
Shaving oils can also be treated as a pre-shave product, offering an additional layer of protection. Used with another product or on their own, oils lubricate the skin and are distinct due to its unique texture on the skin. Popular oils include coconut, almond, castor, and olive oil - they can be lightweight or fairly viscous in consistency. It requires only a few drops, massaged into the skin. Shaving oils are richly moisturising, slick, transparent, and versatile products.
