What to look for in a men’s shaving kit
To start, both Dueñas and Taylor recommend your kit include the basics: a shave oil or tonic, a cream, a good razor, and a post-shave moisturizer. Following that, of course, comes a good shaving cream, which should be rich and moisturizing.
As for the old-school shaving brush? Not necessary, according to Dueñas: There are many good creams dispensed from a can with no need to whip with a brush. So you can skip the badger brush altogether though we ve included kits with several options in case it s an absolute must-have. After shaving, it s important to treat your skin with a follow-up of a cold rinse and a hydrating facial cream to replenish any lost moisture.
