Are you looking to take your shave to the next level? If so, then you’ll want to consider investing in some new shaving supplies.

Key Shaving Supplies
From a quality shaving cream to a fogless shaving mirror, there are many ways that you can quickly and easily enhance the shaving experience. Here’s an overview of the main categories.
Pre-Shave Oils
Before applying shaving cream, a pre-shave oil adds a slick layer of lubrication to the skin. Pre-shave oil reduces friction and allows the razor blade to smoothly cut through facial hair while leaving your skin free of any nicks or cuts.
Shaving Creams
The shaving cream plays an essential role in adding both heat and moisture to the skin and hair follicles. Available in several different subcategories, including traditional shaving cream, shaving foam, shaving gel, shaving soap, and even latherless shaving cream, you have plenty of options to choose from.
Aftershaves
Like shaving cream, aftershave is available in many different forms, including a watery splash, a creamy lotion, or a thicker balm. Packed full of moisturizers and nutrients, an aftershave can provide post-shave relief of irritation, razor burn, and tightness. Lastly, many quality aftershaves don’t include alcohol, so they’ll never sting.
Shaving Brushes
While it may appear unnecessary, shaving brushes help provide a gentle exfoliation that lifts dirt and grime while also being effective at whipping up a thick and rich lather. Shaving brushes are available in an animal-friendly synthetic fiber or a traditional badger hair.
Fixtures
Bathroom fixtures including shaving cream warmers and fogless shower mirrors add a touch of luxury to the shaving experience. If you have the space or are looking for increased efficiency while shaving, consider using one of the fixtures available.
