Shaving Soap & Shave Cream

Shaving soap and cream are both used to create a lather that helps to protect the skin from the razor and make it easier to shave. However, there are some key differences between the two products:

Shaving soap is typically made from tallow or vegetable oils, such as coconut oil or olive oil, and lye. It is a solid product that is typically sold in a puck or bar form. To use shaving soap, you will need to wet the soap and then build a lather with a shaving brush. 

Shaving cream, on the other hand, is typically made from water, soap, and other ingredients, such as glycerin or aloe vera. It is a liquid or semi-solid product that is typically sold in a tube or tub. To use shaving cream, you simply need to apply it to your wet skin.

There are some advantages and disadvantages to both shaving soap and cream. Shaving soap is typically seen as being more natural and less harsh on the skin. However, it can be more difficult to lather than shaving cream. Shaving cream is typically easier to lather, but it can be more expensive than shaving soap.

Ultimately, the best type of shaving product for you will depend on your individual preferences and skin type. If you have sensitive skin, you may want to try shaving soap. If you are looking for a product that is easy to lather, you may want to try shaving cream.

Here are some additional things to consider when choosing between shaving soap and cream:

• Skin type: If you have sensitive skin, you may want to choose shaving soap, as it is typically seen as being more gentle on the skin.
• Shaving technique: If you are a beginner shaver, you may want to choose shaving cream, as it is easier to lather.
• Personal preference: Ultimately, the best way to choose between shaving soap and cream is to experiment and see which one you prefer.
