I recently went on a bit of a health kick regarding my skin. I did some research on the ingredients in Barbasol, and came to the conclusion that it might not be the best thing to be rubbing on my face everyday. So I'm looking for a new shave soap/cream, and I'd love to get some advice from some real pros!
Things that are important to me:
I should probably also mention my gear. I actually just bought some new stuff (I'm trying to take shaving seriously), and right now I'm working with an EJ DE89 razor, a super silvertip brush, and a chrome bowl to build a lather in.
Thanks in advance for your responses!
Things that are important to me:
- All-natural ingredient list - ideally I'd like all the ingredients to be something that exists in nature. Simple, easy to understand, and not laced with harsh chemicals.
- Price - Don't mind spending money on a quality product.
- Allergies - My skin is not exactly "sensitive" (it's moderately oily), however a lot of fragrances will react with my skin and cause redness and itching. I also get asthma from various scents. It doesn't need to be unscented (I actually like a good scent), but something that isn't going to blow my allergies to the moon.
- Lather - I really enjoy a good lather.
- Moisturizing - I'd like it to have good moisturizing properties.
- Soap vs Cream - I'm not sure. I'm like to hear some opinions on that actually.
