dry shave review

Dry shaving is a method of shaving using a razor that uses electricity or battery power to run a motor that powers a system of cutting blades. Typically, you don’t need any lubrication and you can just run the shaver over dry (but clean) skin. Dry shaving can be accomplished using electric razors or blade razors on any part of your body or face. The biggest drawback to dry shaving, with either an electric or blade razor, is skin irritation. Using too much pressure while shaving can also cause irritation, and in some instances, razor burn. Dry shaving with a blade razor has additional drawbacks, including cuts and nicks, dry, flaky skin, stinging or burning sensation, itching, stubbly, uneven results, and folliculitis. To protect your skin, dry shaving with a blade razor should only be done in a pinch. If you must dry shave with a blade razor, shave slowly with the hair’s grain, and moisturize afterward. Electric razors are designed to be used as dry shavers. Even so, take measures such as moisturizing to minimize skin irritation. When it comes to ingredients, some shaving creams and gels on the market contain chemicals that might not be as harmless as you would like to believe. Some of these ingredients include Triethanolamine (TEA), Palmitic acid, Isopentane, and Glycols (propylene, butylene, and ethylene) . On the other hand, some ingredients to look for in shaving products include aloe vera, chamomile, tea tree oil, calendula, witch hazel, lavender, jojoba oil, grapefruit seed extract, and rose oil distillate. For example, NIVEA MEN Maximum Hydration Shaving Gel is a moisturizing shave gel designed specifically for men to soothe and nourish skin while shaving. It is formulated with Aloe Vera, Provitamin B5, and other moisturizers to replenish the skins moisture. This ultra-rich shave gel helps to protect against dry skin and irritations from shaving such as micro cuts. It improves razor glide and softens the stubble for a close and extra comfortable shave.
