Pre-Shave

Prepare your skin before shaving with pre-shave treatments

Shaving can be a painful and traumatic task, or, on the contrary, a moment of great pleasure. There are currently several shaving techniques, and it's up to each user to choose the one that's most comfortable and gentle on their skin.

The razor is the most commonly used method by users today, however, it can be the most aggressive, as the dermis suffers and can cause irritation or sensitization of the skin, since we are removing a thin layer of dermis without realizing it due to the direct contact of the blades with the skin.

After learning this information, it's time to emphasize the importance of pre-shave products, which are completely unknown in today's society and which every man should include in his shaving routine. These products act as emollients to soften the beard and facilitate the glide of the razor over the face, providing extra hydration and thus preventing the development of wounds or possible irritations and/or eczema.

Types of pre-shave products

Most pre-shave products come in oil form, as their rich, highly nourishing texture helps keep skin more hydrated before shaving. However, we can also find this type of product in lotion form, which is perhaps more recommended for users with oily and/or combination skin whose skin doesn't tolerate oily textures.

The best pre-shave products are those that penetrate the skin, improving its flexibility and hydration for shaving. This action helps retain moisture in the skin and thus facilitates razor contact, preventing irritation and cuts.

How to use a pre-shave

Pre-shaves also require a specific application routine, so here are some simple tips to help you achieve optimal results:

• First, before applying the product, moisten your face with warm water. This will help open the pores, allowing the product to penetrate the skin more quickly.
• Next, after drying your face, apply the pre-shave only to the area you plan to shave and let it sit for a few minutes to do its job.
• Finally, we will proceed with the usual shave, and once finished, we will rinse the face with plenty of warm water, since water that is too hot or too cold could sensitize the skin and/or cause adverse reactions.

We should never forget to apply a specific product after shaving, since the initial pre-shave hydration and nutrition does not replace the soothing and toning effects of after-shave products.

Trusted brands

Among these types of items we find trusted brands that have been working on shaving products for many years, such as the classic Williams or Tabac .

However, there are more and more brands that are establishing themselves in this field, advancing by leaps and bounds, with innovative products and modern aesthetics that reveal a very marked virile character, such as The Bluebeards Revenge , a very influential English brand in the world of beard care with environmentally friendly products that are completely paraben-free.
