Why do you need to use foam when shaving?

Using foam when shaving can reduce irritation to the skin, especially when the skin is dry. Applying foam can moisturize and soften the beard, making it easier to remove without scratching the skin. If a man has a thicker beard, he can apply foam to shave it. After shaving, wipe it with warm water and then wipe the skin to avoid scratching the skin.

First, using foam can prevent sharp manual razor blades from scratching the skin, because the razor cannot completely fit the skin. Second, even if a person has good skin, the surface of the skin will be uneven. The use of foam can reduce damage to the skin surface in some cases.

The second reason to use foam is that it can collect beards and facilitate disposal. Once the beards are brought down by the razor, they may fall directly to the ground or get embedded in the gaps of the razor, affecting the use of the razor. The foam can not only collect the shaved beards on the surface of the skin, but also be brought into the surface of the razor blade. After shaving with the razor for a few times, you only need to rinse the razor with water, and the beards stuck in the gaps will be brought down by the foam, making it easier to dispose of.

The third is the comfort of the foam. Electric shavers will react to the slightest stimulation of the hair follicles. If you choose a manual shaver, you will not feel any discomfort on your skin after adding foam, and the effect is also very obvious. After switching to a manual shaver, I have never had any hair follicle allergies. The blade of the razor is also very sharp, and it will feel a little painful when it comes into direct contact with the skin, so the comfort of the foam is still very necessary.

Failure to apply foam may lead to many possible situations, such as skin discomfort or serious scratches. Since it is recommended to use a manual razor with foam, there must be many benefits in the foam.
