Commonly used shaving foam, do you know how it works?

We often see some male friends applying some white foamy stuff on the beard before shaving, so many people are very skeptical, what exactly is this thing? In fact, this is the so-called shaving cream. As for its use, I will introduce it to you.

What is the white shaving foam?

Skin care products for men to use when shaving are water-in-oil emulsified creams, which are composed of oil, water, surfactants and moisturizers. They can make the beard swell and soften, making it easier to shave. They also have the functions of preventing local skin roughness and pore enlargement after shaving, relieving mechanical stimulation during shaving, and making the skin feel comfortable.

usage

Before shaving, wet your beard with warm water, apply shaving cream, and start shaving after the beard softens.

Shaving cream can be divided into two types: foaming and non-foaming.

How it works

Shaving cream generally has antibacterial and lubricating effects, which reduce the friction between the blade and the skin during shaving, thereby protecting the skin. Most people find that their skin may experience burning or tingling sensations after shaving when they do not use shaving lotion or shaving cream. This is a metal allergy reaction caused by excessive friction between the skin and the stainless steel blades. It can be avoided by using shaving lotion or shaving cream, or by using the luxurious method of using platinum-plated blades, which will not cause allergies, but each set of blades is more expensive.
