Shaving Gels, Oils & Foams

Shaving Gels, Oils, and Foams - New Zealand

Shaving products come in various forms, each offering unique benefits tailored to different preferences and skin types. From the quick and convenient shaving foams to the versatile shaving oils and precision-driven shaving gels, there's a grooming solution for everyone. 

Choosing the right shaving product depends on individual preferences, skin type, and shaving habits. Shaving gels provide precision and hydration, shaving oils offer versatility and moisturisation, and shaving foams deliver quick and efficient coverage.

Shaving Gels

Shaving gels are designed to provide lubrication and protection during shaving, ensuring a smooth glide of the razor and minimising nicks and cuts. Typically clear or translucent, these gels offer excellent visibility for shaping facial hair and are enriched with moisturising ingredients to keep the skin hydrated. They're easy to apply directly to the skin, making them a popular choice for precise shaving.

For example, Baxter of California’s Beard Line-Up Shave Gel is a non-foaming, transparent gel enriched with aloe vera and vitamins C and E. It's perfect for both dry and wet shaving, providing a comfortable experience without irritation.

Shaving Oils

Shaving oils serve a dual purpose as both a pre-shave and a shaving product, offering an additional layer of protection and lubrication. These oils come in various textures—from lightweight to more viscous—and are typically made from natural ingredients like coconut, almond, castor, and olive oil. They require just a few drops, which are massaged into the skin to soften hair and provide a slick surface for the razor.

Taylor of Old Bond Street’s Sandalwood (Pre-) Shave Oil is a favourite among users, featuring castor oil, witch hazel, and aloe vera. Its thick consistency warms in the hand and delivers a nourishing, protective shave experience.

Shaving Foams

Shaving foams are dispensed from aerosol cans, producing a rich lather that lubricates the skin and hair for a comfortable shave. Lighter and airier than shaving gels, foams do not require rubbing to create a lather, making them quick and easy to apply. They cover large areas efficiently and are known for their convenience.

Proraso has adapted their renowned shaving products into user-friendly foams, offering a no-fuss approach to shaving. These foams are designed to be easy to use and provide effective lubrication for a smooth shave.
