I have been using shaving foam since few years. But recently, my friends suggested shaving gels are better? Is there any difference? Which one is better shaving foam or shaving gel?
There is an overwhelming range of male grooming products available in the market. Walk into the first aisle of grooming products and the shelves will have a range of shaving foams in different fragrances, shaving gels in cans and tubes and shaving creams. It is a difficult choice. The traditional method of shaving using a brush and cream was replaced by easy to use shaving foam. Here are top shaving myths busted.
However, the men now concentrate on skincare and are worried about dry skin, rashes or scars on their face. This gives rise to the query on convenience over benefits. Find out how to shave correctly. We asked Dr Gulhima Arora, Consultant Dermatologist at the Clinic Dermatech in Delhi and here s what she has to say.
Choosing an option amongst shaving foam or shaving gel is a complex job as both of them aspire to prevent stubble from drying out and easing the shaving process. However, as convenient the foams may seem, they have a tendency to dry the skin to a large extent. Thus, they don t work wonders on people who already have a dry skin.

Since the gel is more concentrated than foam, it gives more lather and lubrication even if a small amount is used. This makes it an economical option too.
