What Is Shaving Soap?
Shaving soap is soap that produces a substantial amount of foaming lather. The lather softens the coarse hair so that it can be removed easier. It also allows the razor to smoothly glide over the face and neck area, which decreases the possibility of getting nicked or cut. Shaving soap puts a barrier between the face and razor for added protection. This is a way to get an extremely close shave without irritation or bumps on the skin. Even though there are a few brands of soap that offer excessive lather, they typically are not the same as shaving soap. Along with the extra lather, these other soaps only work to cleanse the skin. They can also take out moisture and dry the face. Glycerin or other moisturizers are normally added to soap that is used for shaving. It reduces the chances for skin irritations or dry scaly skin.
