What do dermatologists recommend for shaving?
“Patients should use a blade razor (not electric) with a cooling foam or gel and wash with hot water before and cold water right after shaving. I recommend a moisturizer with sunscreen for use every morning instead of an aftershave, and I encourage patients to apply it on the entire face, not just the beard area.

Is shaving cream better than foam?
