Aaron is asked a question about how to prevent shaving soap or shave cream from drying out before the shave is completed
Paul Martin, from the UK, asks:
“Been double edge shaving for a couple of months now. Still working on my technique and finding the best shaving products to suit my skin type. A problem I have most days is that my shaving soap or shave cream is drying out too much before I finish each pass? This is giving me some problems on the neck and lip which I shave last. Any ideas?”
Shaving cream can dry out before the second pass
AARON SAYS
“Mr. Martin,
First off, welcome to the world of wet shaving! I would make sure you are adding enough water when building your lather, a dry lather will obviously dry out faster than a properly hydrated one, and give problems in those areas.
You can always re-lather those areas before shaving them, to make sure the lather is the best it can be to protect your face.
Also, if you have a fan in the bathroom you might want to try turning it off while you shave, the extra wind will dry out your lather. Hope this helps, and let me know if you still are having trouble and we’ll go from there!
Keep it smooth!
Aaron”
