Pre-shave

Why use a pre -shave oil or cream?

Preshave crème or oil directly apply it by hand on the beard plugs in advance. Good distribution and massage. Don't rinse. Then apply the shaving cream over it. We always say here: "Your skin is not made to go over it with a knife." The razor can damage or irritate the skin. A Pre Shave provides an extra thin protective film on the skin. In addition, shaving soaps or creams may be able to dehydrate the skin. A pre shave also protects the skin against the drying effect of shaving foam. Extra preparation in advance Shaving, ultimately ensures more shaving comfort and therefore fewer shaving irritations.

What is the best pre -shave?

There are preshave creams and oils. The preference for or an oil or a cream is of course personal. Both preshave products provide extra protection during shaving. A cream is often an emulsion of water and oils. Pre -Shave Olie is a blend of various natural oils, such as jojoba oil, castor oil and bergamot oil. There are perfumed and unscented shaving materials. Do you have dry or sensitive skin? Then use a neutral and unscented product. Popular perfumed pre -shave products contain sandalwood, menthol, eucalyptus or citrus. Most pre -shave oils are neutral or have a slight scent. It is often about the scent of the various essential oils.

Some preshave oils are greasy and lobbig. The advantage is of course that this oil provides a robust protective layer. The disadvantage is that the oil continues to 'stick' to your fingers. Thin or light oils are easy to apply and are absorbed much better by the skin. The protection of a thin oil is perhaps slightly less.
