Shaving products are designed to prepare the skin and hair for a close, comfortable shave. It works by hydrating and softening the hair, allowing the razor to glide smoothly over the skin and reducing the risk of irritation, nicks, and razor burn. Available in various forms, including foams, gels, and traditional creams that can be lathered with a brush, shaving cream provides a protective and lubricating barrier between the skin and the razor blade.
