How To Pick The Right Barber Shaving Gel Or Cream For Your Needs

By Sharon Parker


Most men will agree that shaving their face is not something that they enjoy doing. For many men, it can lead to dry, irritated or damaged skin. It may end up causing them problems with ingrown hairs or cuts and abrasions. Often men will choose to grow a beard so that they can reduce the amount of time they need to spend shaving their face. Some men may not be able to do so because of their job or for other reasons. A good barber shaving gel will help you keep your face looking and feeling great.

In the past, men often didn't think as much about the products they were using on their skin but this is changing. Men are now choosing more luxurious products because they want their skin to look and feel good. In some ways, a man's facial skin tends to take more abuse than a woman's. Shaving it daily can strip it of essential oils and if a man works outside, it may be exposed to the drying effects of sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Shaving products fall into a few different categories. These include soap, cream, gel and foam. All of these have different properties and most men will find that they like a particular type of product better. For example, some men may like the way shaving foam spreads or the way a gel may leave their skin feeling after they are finished using it.

The purpose behind all shaving products is to provide a lubricating layer that the razor can glide over. Because the blade is not coming directly into contact with the skin it will be less likely to irritate the skin. A good shaving product can also help to reduce the number of nicks or cuts that a man may get on his face as he shaves. It allows the user to get a much closer shave which can help to extend the length of time between shaves as well.

Many men may be currently using a shaving product and may not know how to tell whether it is right for their needs. Thinking about how your skin feels after you have had to shave on a daily basis will be a good first clue as to whether your current choice meets your needs. Keep in mind that even if a product does well part of the year.

It can take several days for the negative effects of a skin product to be felt. If you are dealing with a product that does not have enough of a moisturizing effect it will often be okay if it is used once or twice but it may not be able to handle you using it day after day.

It may surprise you to learn that your hair type will have as much of an effect on the products you will use as your skin type. Removing coarse, plentiful hair will be easier if a man uses a product that softens the hair shaft and which provides a thick layer of lubrication on the skin. A gel may work better in this situation rather than a foam or a shaving soap. Thinner hair or oilier skin may do better with a lighter product.

There are many different options to choose from and they can be found both in drug stores and from high end men's boutiques. You may find that one product will work best regardless of the price tag attached to it.
