Shaving Foam

Mens shaving foam

After shaving soap and shaving cream, shaving foam is the third category. When it comes to quality, it is often ranked in that same order. Shaving foam is the least natural option of the three, as it contains fewer natural and nourishing ingredients. But if you are looking for a good balance between classic shaving and speed, then shaving foam is your best friend.

Benefits of shaving foam

Shaving foam is mainly about convenience. If you prefer to shave with a (classic) razor but do not like the hassle that comes with shaving soap, then shaving foam is ideal. Just give the can a quick shake and the foam comes out, ready to use.

In many cases, shaving foam has a cooling effect on your skin and helps to soften the beard hairs slightly. That makes them easier to shave off, reducing the likelihood of shaving irritation or razor burn. Your razor glides more easily over your skin, and shaving is less likely to result in small cuts or nicks.

Another advantage is that shaving foam is often very affordable and has a long shelf life as long as you keep it dry.

How to use shaving foam?

It is recommended to wet your face with lukewarm water. Shake the can of shave foam well before use and dispense some into your hands. Now apply the shaving foam to the area you wish to shave. You can also use a shaving brush applying the foam in short strokes if you want to lift the hairs properly.

Now you can use your safety razor for a smooth shaving result. Rinse your razor blade regularly to prevent clogging. Afterwards, use a good aftershave to soothe and care for your skin.

Best men's shaving foam

There are of course many brands of shaving foam for men, but at Moquer we are big fans of the Italian brand Proraso. Proraso shaving foam is available in five different versions, as not every beard or skin type is the same.

In addition, Proraso shaving foam contains a relatively high amount of natural and nourishing ingredients for a shaving foam, such as glycerine and moisturising oils. The Acca Kappa Shaving Foam is also an excellent options if you want to go for a premium Italian product.
