If you don't let Beard grow, chances are you shave yourself every day or every other day. A common problem is skin irritation after Shaving. This often manifests as redness, small wounds, and a stinging feeling. This is not pleasant and shouldn't be necessary at all!
To prevent skin irritation during and after Shaving, there are products like Shaving Soap, Shaving Cream, Shaving Oil, Shaving Gel, and Shaving Foam that can help make your shaving experience comfortable! In this article, we explain what these products do and which product suits you best.
Shaving Soap
Shaving Soap is probably known to you from the old traditional way of Shaving. With a Safety Razor. The product has been around for a long time. A Shaving Soap can help you have a comfortable shave without irritation. Shaving Soap is often packaged in a small round container.
You don't apply Shaving Soap with your Hands, but with a specially designed shaving brush. Shaving Soap is a somewhat harder soap that requires a bit more friction with a shaving brush.
We also recommend using a Shaving Bowl. In this, you whip the Shaving Soap into a rich lather after wetting the shaving brush with lukewarm water and swirling it through the Shaving Soap. Creating the perfect, rich lather takes a bit more time and skill than, for example, using a Shaving Cream.
Advantages:
1. Shaving Soap lasts a long time
2. Shaving Soap contains fewer chemical ingredients than other Shaving Products
3. Shaving Soap has more complex scent profiles
4. Shaving Soap is very environmentally friendly
5. Shaving Soap prevents wounds and irritation
Shaving Cream
Shaving Cream is a bit softer than Shaving Soap, making it easier to lather and it stays on the skin longer; ideal for beginners among us! Also, with a Shaving Cream, you don't necessarily need a shaving brush; you can also apply the cream with your fingers. Shaving Cream also ensures that the razor blade sits less close to the skin, allowing you to take less skin during Shaving.
Shaving Creams come in many varieties, making a Shaving Cream suitable for more specific purposes. For instance, a Shaving Cream is especially suitable for men with dry skin. Ingredients such as Aloe Vera and Shea Butter are often found in a Shaving Cream for dry skin.
Advantages:
1. Shaving Cream is easy to whip into foam .
2. Shaving Cream is available in various packaging such as a jar or tube
3. Shaving Cream is more suitable for dry skin
4. Shaving Cream has a stronger scent
5. Shaving Cream sits less closely on the skin, preventing irritation and wounds
Shaving Oil
Oil has been used for a long time to Shaving.Shaving Oil provides a layer on the skin, nourishes the skin, and softens facial hair. Also, Shaving with a Shaving Oil requires less work than Shaving with, for example, a Shaving Soap or a Shaving Cream; you don't need to whip up foam! Shaving Oil is a transparent product, allowing you to see clearly what you're doing, making a Shaving Oil ideal for trimming your sideburns and/or Moustache.
Shaving Oil contains fewer harmful and chemical ingredients than other Shaving Products, making a Shaving Oil pleasantly soft for the skin.
Advantages:
1. Shaving Oil doesn't need to be whipped up
2. Shaving Oil is transparent, allowing you to see better what you're doing
3. Shaving Oil nourishes the skin
4. Shaving Oil softens facial hair

Shaving Gel
Shaving Gel is very similar to Shaving Foam, but has a thicker structure that ensures your Face is better protected by the extra layer applied. You can simply apply Shaving Gel with your fingers, it is a thick substance that foams once you rub it over your Face.
Do you have heavy Beard Growth? That's a good reason to choose a Shaving Gel instead of a Shaving Foam. This is because it provides the best protection and covers every hair well. Even for oily skin, Shaving Gel can be a solution. The Hair Gel also immediately cares for the skin.

1. Shaving Gel can be applied with fingers and foams immediately
2. Shaving Gel provides very good protection due to the thick structure
3. Shaving Gel feels Fresh and contributes to a pleasant shaving experience

Shaving Foam
Using a Shaving Foam ensures that a nice foam layer forms between the razor and the skin. This allows the razor to glide better over the skin, preventing irritations and wounds. Using Shaving Foam is very easy.
You simply spray a small amount of foam into the palm of your hand and apply it with your fingertips to the skin you want to Shaving. Shaving Foam comes in many varieties, so there's always a variant that suits your Skin Type and preferences!
Shaving Foam contains more water than, for example, an old-fashioned Shaving Soap. The downside of this is that the foam is somewhat colder and not as capable of softening the beard hairs and opening the pores as a Shaving Soap does.
Advantages:
1. Shaving Foam is easy to use, you don't need to whip foam
2. Shaving Foam is ideal when you have little time
