Apply pre-shave cream or oil to the face before shaving. Do not rinse. The shaving cream or shaving foam goes over the pre-shave product.
The use of a pre-shave oil or cream is personal. Pre-shave products prepare the skin for shaving and soften the beard hairs.
The skin can dry out by using shaving soap or shaving foam. A pre-shave product prevents any dehydration of the skin caused by the shaving soap or shaving foam.
A pre-shave product provides an extra buffer between skin and razor.
In case of dry skin, a pre-shave provides extra shaving comfort and you will suffer less from shaving irritation afterwards.
