How to Choose a Shaving Set by Skin Type
When it comes to shaving, it's not just about the tools—it's about your skin. Skin type determines which touch works best, what hydration the skin demands, and what motion feels natural.
The right set cuts only the hair. It won't cause redness, irritation, or fatigue.
1) Sensitive Skin
Skin that easily reddens and reacts. It needs a soft, calming touch.
Ideal Set:
- Soft Safety Razor (low aggressiveness)
- Gentle Pre-Shave Oil
- Thick, protective texture Shaving Cream
- Alcohol-Free After-Shave Balm
Focus: Movements should be slow. Let the razor's weight do the work.
2) Dry / Tight Skin
Skin lacks moisture, and shaving is more dehydrating for it than just a process.
Ideal Set:
- Pre-Shave Oil + Cream used together
- Warm, wetter lather
- Moisturizing After-Shave
Focus: The lather must be rich, not airy.
3) Thick and Coarse Beard
This isn't about "tough" skin—it's simply a strong hair structure.
Ideal Set:
- Heavy metal razor (medium/high controlled aggression)
- Hot lathering (brush + mug)
- Shaving Soap or Cream that doesn't dry the oil
Focus: Soften first, then shave—not the other way around.
4) Oily / Easily Shiny Skin
The main thing here is balance—excess oil should not accumulate.
Ideal Set:
- Light Pre-Shave Oil or none at all
- Cream that retains texture when adding water
- After-Shave Spray or Alum Block
Focus: Minimal but precise.
