Why shaving your face with high-quality shaving products matters

Poor quality shaving care products are often filled with artificial and irritating ingredients and paired with ineffective shaving tools can leave you with an aggravated jawline, neck and unruly facial hair. Whether you’re learning how to properly shave your face or you’re a seasoned groomer looking to refresh your shaving care product lineup, one thing is for sure: luxury men’s shaving products make a big difference in the look, feel and health of your face, whether you’re bearded up or shaving it all off.

Today’s best lineup of men’s shaving products range from pre-shave skin care and prepping products to hydrating shave creams, gels and aftershave products designed to help restore, fend off razor burn and make facial hair softer, healthier and more manageable.

Your best shave yet starts with a solid regimen

While it’s true some lessons are best learned through trial and error, shaving shouldn’t be one of them. Countless men before your time have learned the hard way what it takes to get a great shave, all you have to do is follow their lead, starting with a solid shaving regimen. Here’s what a foolproof shaving regimen looks like:

1. Cleanse: Shaving creates tiny cuts in the skin, and a dirty face will increase the opportunity for bacteria to move in and wreak havoc on your skin. Therefore, adding a men’s facial cleanser is a shaving skin care product that’s crucial for removing impurities, dirt or debris on the skin’s surface and hiding in your pores. A cleanser or face wash also helps reduce the opportunity for acne breakouts. Today’s best cleansers are typically formulated with ingredients that also help address other skin concerns like dry skin, aging, discoloration and more.

2. Scrub or exfoliate: Another shaving skin care product that’s a must-have in your regimen is an exfoliating scrub. After cleansing, exfoliation helps lift away dead skin cells sitting on the skin’s surface, ultimately allowing for an even closer, smoother shave. Jack Black shaving products, like the Face Buff Energizing Scrub, effectively clear away lingering dirt, oil and dead skin cells to help make your shaving efforts easier and more effective. Here’s another tip: Exfoliate after you shave to prevent ingrowns.

3. Pre-shave skin prep: With freshly exfoliated skin, it’s time to soften and prepare the skin for a close and comfortable shave using a pre-shave oil. The Art of Shaving product line includes several pre-shave oil options that are formulated with multiple skin-conditioning oils to prepare the skin for a close shave and protect against irritation by leaving out harsh fragrances, artificial colorants and alcohol.

4. Apply shaving cream: Shaving cream offers a thin yet moisture-rich barrier between the sharp razor blade and your delicate skin. Without a shaving cream (aka dry shaving), you run the risk of extreme skin irritation like razor burn or noticeable cuts that could lead to infection. For best results, we recommend choosing a shaving cream that does not lather or foam but rather sits on the skin, providing a barrier between the blade and yourself. This way, you can keep your skin hydrated and prevent potential cuts or irritation. Some of our favorite shaving lubricants include the Jack Black Beard Lube Conditioning Shave, The Art of Shaving Shaving Cream, FUR Shave Cream and ELEMIS Smooth Result Shave & Beard Oil.

5. Shave: With your shaving cream in place as directed by the product packaging, it’s time to get down to business. With your clean and sharp razor in hand (the Baxter of California Double Edge Safety Razor and The Art of Shaving Fusion Razor are worthy contenders), you can begin shaving your face and neck in the direction your hair grows, being careful not to apply too much pressure or shave the same area excessively. Rinse the blade between strokes with warm water. Once you’re happy with your work, rinse your face with cold water to help close pores and prevent bacterial growth.

6. Aftershave: Now that the tedious work is over, treat your skin to the cooling, hydrating or soothing feel of a quality aftershave product. This will help calm the skin and prevent razor burn, redness, irritation and drying. Customer favorite aftershave products include the Jack Black Post Shave Cooling Gel, MP 10 Nourishing Oil (also great for face, skin, and beard hydration) and the Baxter of California After Shave Balm made with soothing aloe vera to calm, soften and moisturize.
