Before shaving, pre-shave lotion can make the razor blade closer to the skin and reduce irritation to the skin. Pre-shave lotion is usually non-aqueous and suitable for dry electric shaving. Blade shaving, on the other hand, uses water-based shaving cream, such as foam shaving cream, non-foam shaving cream, and shaving gel.
Whether it's blade shaving or electric shaving, friction between the skin and the blade will always cause some degree of irritation, so post-shaving treatment is a basic function of men's skincare products. These products are somewhat similar to women's skincare products such as toner, moisturizer, or hydrating serum, and have soothing, pore-tightening, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, infection prevention, and moisturizing effects. People with dry skin or sensitive skin should choose alcohol-free formulas. For skin that is prone to small lumps or rashes after shaving, it is best to choose a soothing lotion that protects the skin.
