As we have seen on the history of The Art of Shaving, pre-Shave Oil is the first step to ensure a good shave, especially for men with sensitive skin. It softens the beard and prepares the skin for a close and comfortable shave without leaving an oily residue. The Art of Shaving Pre-Shave Oil Lavender is ideal for men with ingrown hair, razor burn or tough beards. It is formulated with a unique blend of botanical ingredients and essential oils. You can buy The Art of Shaving Pre Shave Oil Lavender for as low as £18.00.

Electric shaving is divided into a few processes to insure the best results. The preparation is one of the most important part, especially for people with sensitive skin. Dry electric shavers require the hairs to be dry and stiff before the shaving starts, the complete opposite of the traditional shaving, where the hairs and the skin need to be highly moisterised. The dryer are the hairs, the easier to shear them one they get inside the head of the shaver.

Therefore, you should never start by washing your face or wetting the beard with water. Instead, you might want to prepare your beard with a pre-shave lotion especially designed for electric shavers, which dry up the oils and moisture on your skin and make the whiskers stand straight up. These pre-shave lotions are often alcohol based.
