Not only is razor burn painful, but it's not the best look when you were aiming for that smooth, clean shave. Precision and accuracy shouldn't have to come a price of cuts or rashes on your face and neck, which is where shave creams come in.

Does shaving cream help get a closer shave?

Simply put, yes. A good shaving cream or oil works to help your razor glide more smoothly across the skin, allowing for a closer shave and preventing razor burns or nicks. Pre-shaving creams soften the wiry and stubborn facial hairs to keep them moisturised and soft, making them easier to remove and preventing nicks from occurring. Furthermore, a cream creates a thin layer between your skin and the razor, protecting it from any scraping and keeping the surface lubricated for the razor to glide smoothly across. Most formulas also help to soothe the skin to stop razor rash from appearing and keep it smooth and hydrated. An added bonus, a shaving gel or cream helps you to achieve a more accurate style, as the foam allows you to keep up with where you have shaved, stopping you from being left with those embarrassing forgotten patches of hair.
