Wet shaving vs. dry shaving – What really suits you? The decision: wet shaving or dry shaving? Many men know it: The daily shave should be quick, look good, and be as gentle on the skin as possible. Some swear by the classic wet shave – others have consciously chosen the electric dry shave. And both are absolutely justified. Here's a brief overview: Advantages of dry shaving: Usually goes faster Easy to use, especially on the go Skin is less directly stressed Disadvantages of dry shaving: Less thorough shaving result Stubble felt again faster Friction and heat can still cause irritation Cleaning the devices requires maintenance effort Advantages of wet shaving: Especially smooth and long-lasting shaving results Care of the skin with warm water and shaving foam Conscious shaving ritual possible Disadvantages of wet shaving: Higher skin stress possible if technique or preparation is not correct Risk of razor burn with a dull blade or incorrect handling A bit more time-consuming than dry shaving Why many men have chosen dry shaving – and what frustrates them Many who opt for dry shaving today have good reasons: they wanted to avoid skin irritation, razor burn, or ingrown hairs that occurred with their previous wet shaving. A big problem with that: Dull blades that pulled too hard on the hair Too much pressure on the skin because rigid blades hardly gave way Insufficient skin preparation Expensive system blades that have been used for too long out of thriftiness It's not the wet shave itself that stresses the skin – it's dull, inflexible blades and lack of preparation.
