Shaving might not be the most enjoyable part of your grooming routine, but a good shaving foam can make the experience bearable. Not only does it act as a barrier between the razor blades and your skin to reduce friction, but it also helps hydrate your face and lock moisture in the hair follicles. As the festive season is right around the corner, one of the most important tasks is to find the right shaving foam that suits your skin. Here are our top suggestions.
Gillette Classic Menthol Pre-Shave Foam
This classic go-to has a cool, rich and menthol-scented lather that spreads easily and rinses clean as well. It also features a Gillette comfort glide formula which includes glycerine, as well as special lubricants to hydrate your skin and enhance razor glide.
Nivea Men Protect & Care Shaving Foam
For someone who has recently begun to shave, Nivea’s Men Protect & Care shaving foam is an excellent choice. Powered with calming ingredients like chamomile and hamamelis, this foam guards your skin from common problems that you encounter during a shave like burning, dryness, irritation, and cuts.
Bombay Shaving Company Sensitive Shaving Foam
Expect a luxurious lather that moisturises your hair follicles and protects skin from irritation. It is also enriched with anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and anti-microbial properties of lemon, aloe vera, and tea extracts.
Man Arden Shaving Foam for Sensitive Skin
This foam produces a thick lather that acts as a cushion between your skin and the razor. Made with natural, non-toxic ingredients like green tea, aloe, and menthol, it helps hydrate your skin. Interestingly, green tea is known for its rich antioxidant properties that reduce skin irritation and enhance skin glow.
