Men’s shave kits haven’t changed much over the years. They still contain the basic items that they did 30 years ago: shaving cream, a razor and aftershave. What has changed over the last 30 years is the quality of these items. Companies are always looking for ways to make shaving more comfortable and faster for the busy man. Pre-Shave Items One of the newest advances in shaving is a pre-shave oil. This is a lightweight, scented oil that will help the hair to retain moisture during the shave and increase the amount of glide between the razor and the skin. Glide is the number one indicator of a good or bad shave. The easier it is for the razor to slide across the skin, the less ingrown hairs, razor bumps, and razor burn that will result from a fast shave. Shaving creams have also improved. Higher quality creams are thicker and no longer contain alcohol, a skin irritant. You may also find them infused with essential oils for healing and healthy skin. Post-Shave Items Just because your razor is rinsed and set to dry doesn’t mean you’re done shaving. Skipping the aftershave lotion is as bad for your skin as shaving with a dull razor. When you shave, the razor pulls the moisture out of your skin. It’s like running a squeegee over a damp window; only the window doesn’t need the moisture and your face does. Aftershave lotion will put the moisture back into your skin and help it heal faster. Skin that is properly moisturized is less likely to show signs of aging or develop acne. Men's shave kit now come with your choice of aftershave gel, lotion, or balm. The gel is lightweight for those who live in humid areas of the country and a balm is perfect for those who spend time out of doors.
