Most high quality brushless shaving creams do not require a lather to be applied while you are shaving. The preference on that is going to come down to personal taste, though yours truly prefers more muted scents and many over the counter brushless creams have a tendency to be overpowering. They will also sometimes add extra scents and dyes to make their products unique and stand out. Most over the counter Brushless Shaving creams create a lather through aerosolizing their product as well, making shaving an even quicker endeavor. This can sometimes dry out your skin with repeated use, but that would take a great deal of use to reach that point. This has a hydrating and moisturizing effect on your top layer of skin and your beard hair.īrushless Shaving cream lacks the element of soap, so it depends on different oils and gels and the humectant to draw in the outside moisture and create a foam to make the lather you need. A humectant in shaving cream draws water from the air and brings it into the layers of your skin. Most shaving creams have a mixture of soaps and a natural chemical called a Humectant.
