Shaving foam and shaving gel are two different products that can be used when shaving. Both are designed to protect the skin and make shaving easier by moisturizing the skin and soaking the hair. At first glance they seem pretty similar, but:
What are the differences between shaving foam and shaving gel?
We have summarized the differences for you based on various factors. At the end we will introduce you to our SHAVENT Shave & Shower shaving gel .
-
The consistency:
Shaving cream has a light, airy consistency and is applied from an aerosol can, while shaving gel has a thicker, gel-like consistency and is usually applied from a bottle with a pump head. This is simply a matter of your personal preferences and which type of shaving product you get along with best and which one you find most pleasant.
-
The humidity:
Shaving gel typically contains more moisturizing ingredients than shaving cream, which helps keep skin better hydrated while shaving. This is a big advantage because your skin is also cared for while you shave.
-
The transparency:
Shaving gel is usually transparent so you can easily see where you are shaving, while shaving cream is more opaque. This is a great effect, especially when shaving your legs, as you don't have to shave one area several times unnecessarily.
-
The applicability:
Shaving cream is easier to apply because it comes from an aerosol can and is lathered in the palm of your hand, while shaving gel is applied from a tube or bottle with a pump. Since shaving gel is often lathered up yourself, shaving foam seems to many people to be the easier and quicker option.
-
Skin compatibility:
Shaving gel may be better for people with sensitive skin as it contains more moisturizing ingredientslike aloe vera or glycerinand soaks the hair more thoroughly. This means it is gentler overall when shaving and provides your skin with important care ingredients while you are shaving.
-
Sustainability
Shaving cream is usually sold in a can, which is made of aluminum or steel and must be discarded after use. While these cans can be recycled, it is important to note that the production and disposal of aluminum and steel products is energy intensive and can have an environmental impact. Shaving gel, on the other hand, is increasingly being sold as a powder that you can mix yourself. This may seem a bit more complicated at first glance, but it is a big step in terms of sustainability. Besides, a beautiful glass bottle looks much better in the bathroom than disposable plastic packaging, right?
Our Shave&Shower shaving gel combines all the benefits of shaving gel, only more sustainable and nourishing! The SHAVENT shaving gel is soap-free and pH-neutral. This means it nourishes and soothes even sensitive skin, even while shaving. Like a protective film on the skin, it ensures optimal gliding of the blades and impresses with a subtle, clear scent of cleanliness.
