What You Need To Know When Choosing Barber Shaving Gel Or Other Men's Shaving Products

By Sharon Parker


If you are like many men, shaving your face is a part of your regular routine. Some men may not shave as often as others or may be growing a beard and so do not need to worry as much about what they are using on their face. Other men may need to be very careful about the kind of barber shaving gel or cream that they use. Here are a few things to consider when picking the products you will use.

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.

You will quickly find that there are several different types of products that are intended to be applied to the skin before a man shaves his facial hair. There are creams, lotions and gels. All of these have different qualities and different ingredients. Certain products will be better for certain hair and skin types as well as the frequency with which a man has to shave.

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.

There can be signs that the product you are currently using is not good for your face. If you find that you end up with a lot of nicks and cuts, you may need to pick a product that lubricates your skin more. If you end up with an allergic rash you may find that you need a product that is unscented or meant for allergy-prone skin.

The way your skin feels will be an invaluable tool in evaluating which product is right for you. For example, if you find that your face is dry, itchy or red, or if there is a lot of flaking skin left after you shave, you may need to find a product that is much higher in moisturizing ingredients.

The amount of hair and the type of hair you have on your face will also influence what kind of product is right for you. For example, individuals who have lots of coarse hair may find that they need a gel rather than a cream. If you have less hair or it is finer, you may want to choose a cream so that it does not leave a lot of residue on your skin.

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.
