Think of the this as the foundation of your shave. You apply the pre-shave to your face before shaving cream to ensure that your razor glides smoothly over ever contour. And while that may seem unnecessary at first, it’ll leave your skin feeling smoother. Plus, depending on the product, a pre-shave can moisturize and rejuvenate your face and beard as well.
