Shaving myth 4: Should I use soap on my face before shaving?
In our fourth article on common shaving myths, we ask the question: Should I use soap on my face before shaving?
Soap dries the face and strips away the moisture content.
The problem with soap is that it dries the face and strips away the moisture content. It is still worth washing the facial area prior to shaving, although it is recommended you try using a cleanser instead.
Missed the first three shaving myths? We have already looked into the following:
Is it always necessary to shave downwards, or ‘go with the grain’?
Do you need to use a lot of foam when shaving? and
Should I use the same brand for all my shaving products?
