The leaves have fallen and winter is coming – we hate to say it, but now’s the time to pack away your floral shirts!
It’s not all doom and gloom though, because when the last leaf falls, it’s time to switch up your summer shaving routine for something a little more hibernal. To help you out, we’ve pulled together five of the best men’s shaving products to buy this winter!
Why should I change my shaving products for winter?
As the weather worsens and temperatures drop, most men will find themselves battling with dry skin. This dryness can be caused by a number of external factors, including frosty mornings, cold winds and even the hot air blown around by heaters. While dry skin isn’t usually serious, it can cause uncomfortable cracking, itching and flakiness that can be easily avoided.
To combat dryness, we recommend an edit to the products you’re using on your skin. And the easiest place to start is with your shaving routine! To beat back the cold, here are five of the best shaving products to buy this winter.
Proraso Pre and Post Shave Cream – £8.99
For over 80 years, Proraso have been the leading Italian barbershop brand. The brand is held in high esteem by many for its high quality products and traditional family roots.
One of our favourite products in the Proraso range is their Pre and Post Shave Cream. This super-versatile product features a classic menthol scent that’s enriched with eucalyptus oil. The result is a hybrid product that can be used before or after a wet shave to protect your skin from irritation.
If you’re searching for a luxury shave on a budget, then this cost-effective product is a must!
The Bluebeards Revenge Face Scrub – £14.99
We’re massive fans of The Bluebeards Revenge. Their award-winning products are often among our best-sellers and that appeal has only increased with their recent eco rebrand.
Among their wide range of barber-grade shaving products is a rich and creamy Face Scrub that’s perfect for the winter months. This powerful scrub utilises the exfoliating properties of ground olive stones and ginger to remove trapped dirt and excess oils from deep your skin’s pores. All of this face-cleansing goodness sits within a moisturising base that offers essential rehydration for dry skin.
For best results, we recommend using this scrub before a shave. The exfoliation it provides will reduce friction between your razor and skin, while removing any impurities for a smoother shave with lasting hydration.
Taylor of Old Bond Street Shaving Cream for Sensitive Skin – £11.99
When it comes to traditional wet shaving, no brand is more synonymous than Taylor of Old Bond Street. With a great array of scented shaving creams and soaps Taylor’s range has something for every shaving enthusiast.
We could easily have featured any of Taylor’s creams in this list, but we’ve chosen to focus on their Shaving Cream for Sensitive Skin. Why? Because for those that suffer with sensitive skin, the cold weather can be ruthless.
To help you protect your skin and reduce any further irritation, this highly-rated cream features a careful blend of ingredients designed especially for those that suffer with sensitivity. Its alcohol-free formula promotes natural ingredients such as aloe vera and cocoa butter, which cool and rehydrate your skin during and after a shave. Furthermore, it features a subtle traditional scent that’s doesn’t overpower your senses or impact your skin.
If you’ve got particularly sensitive skin, we can’t recommend this cream enough!
Shaving Shack Exotic Sandalwood Shaving Cream – £10.99
Now, we might be a little biased about this one, but our very own Exotic Sandalwood Shaving Cream is an excellent choice for winter shaves!
When we set out to design our own cream, we did so with the support and feedback of shavers all over the world. The result is an exotic fusion of sandalwood, cedar, lavender, rosemary and jasmine that creates an undeniably masculine scent with a magnificently rich lather.
At just £10.99 for 200ml, it represents great value for money and should last you right through to spring.
The Bluebeards Revenge Cooling Moisturiser – £14.99
The last product on our list is all about future-proofing your skin. Once you’ve finished your traditional wet shave, it’s important to apply a product that will continue to protect and nourish your skin for hours to come. And that’s where The Bluebeards Revenge Cooling Moisturiser comes in…
This fast-absorbing cream has been specially designed to refresh and rehydrate dry and freshly shaved skin. It features a natural blend of prickly pear, fenugreek and jojoba oil to combat irritation, dryness and fatigue on a daily basis. Apply a small amount to your face before you leave the house to minimise the damage caused by swirling winter winds.
