A Quick Guide to Shaving Essentials
Unsurprisingly a lot of females are unfamiliar with the intricacies and subtleties of male wet shaving. That’s okay – to be honest, we’d be a bit freaked out if you could recite the various parts of a badger’s anatomy that different shaving brushes take their hair from. (For more on badger hair brushes, read this.)
With the holiday season in full swing, Murdock have knocked together a quick guide to guarantee you can give the right shaving products.
Pre-shave oil or lotion can be overlooked by even the most experienced shavers, but it is vital for getting skin and stubble ready for the caress of a razor blade. A good pre-shave product will lift any hairs away from the face and soften them up for easier cutting.
DR Harris have been servicing London’s gentlemen for centuries, more than enough time to perfect their Arlington Pre-shave. This light astringent prepares the face for the shave and also acts as an efficient toner, removing any dirt and residue for cleaner, fresher skin.
There are plenty of options out there when it comes to the actual shave; shave cream, shaving soap, shaving gel.. All of these variations serve the same purpose, to form a creamy lather, lubricate the skin and ensure the most comfortable shave available.
Jack Black Beard Lube Conditioning Shave with jojoba and eucalyptus is the future of shaving gel. Effectively combining a pre-shave oil with a shave cream and skin conditioner, this lightweight formula can be seen as three-products-in-one, perfect for anyone on-the-move, when time and space is at a premium.
For a more traditional experience, try one of the DR Harris Shaving Soaps. Packaged in a sturdy and ornate mahogany bowl, this soap (when used in conjunction with a badger hair brush) will produce a rich and luxurious lather, enough to make every shave a relaxing and enjoyable routine.
Following even the smoothest, closest shave, there is always going to be a slight chance of irritation or dryness, so choosing the right post-shave option is important. Most guys are still reluctant to use a full time moisturiser, but a post-shave balm or cream is a much more acceptable, masculine option.
Once again, Jack Black and Zirh offer a number of modern, very efficient post-shave solutions, while Confianca’s O Melhor Balsam After Shave and DR Harris Arlington Aftershave Milk are more traditional, indulgent options.
