Wet shaving is a traditional method of shaving that involves using a razor and shaving cream or soap to remove hair from the face. The four essential products needed for wet shaving are a safety razor, razor blades, shaving brush, and shaving cream/soap. Shaving cream is an important component of wet shaving as it softens the skin and lifts hair follicles, providing a barrier to protect the skin and allowing the razor to glide smoothly when shaving. Quality shaving creams contain special ingredients like soothing aloe and willow bark extract, with anti-inflammatory properties, or menthol, which can relieve pain. However, it is important to avoid aerosol shaving creams and gels as they can dry out the skin and encourage razor burn and skin irritation. When selecting products for wet shaving, it is important to look for ingredients that are beneficial for the skin, such as cedarwood, peppermint, and sandalwood, which are very cleansing and good for the skin, being especially beneficial for skin prone to breakouts. Shaving foam, shaving cream, shaving oil, and shaving soap are all popular products for wet shaving, each with their own advantages and disadvantages.
