Shaving gels, foams and oils are brushless formats applied directly to the skin. Transparent gels and the thin, non-foaming layer formed by shaving oils keep the shaving line visible, making them useful for shaping cheek, neck and moustache contours; shaving oil also provides a slick cushioning layer for the razor. Choose shaving foam when you want to cover the full shaving area quickly and evenly with ready-made, airy lather.
