Whether it is your first or hundredth time shaving, it can be challenging to find a shaving product that works, is safe, and affordable. In stores, you can find shelves filled with various shaving creams, gels, and soaps designed for men. However, these store-bought versions oftentimes contain questionable ingredients that can be harmful and irritating to the skin. Vegan shaving soaps for men have become increasingly more popular, especially since these products contain natural, safe ingredients that are good for the skin and shaving. Keep reading to learn what you need to know about vegan shaving soaps for men.
What Are Vegan Shaving Soaps?
Vegan shaving soap is a shaving product that only contains natural products. Compared to traditional shaving creams and gels, shaving soap lasts much longer. This can help you save money. Since shaving soap is typically plant-based, this will moisturize and promote healthy looking skin. To create a perfect shave, the soap will create a rich lather that helps soften the hair on your face. Once the facial hair becomes soft, you will be able to enjoy an effortless shave in no time.
The Different Types of Vegan Shaving Soaps
Did you know there are different types of vegan shaving soaps? The three main types include triple milled, semi-hard, and croap. Triple milled soap contains less water, making it a more mild, yet high-quality product. This soap tends to be harder, which helps it last longer than softer soaps. Semi hard soap is softer than triple milled because it contains a high moisture content. Since it is softer, semi hard soap doesn’t last as long as the previous shaving soap. The last type is croap soap, which is also soft and creamy due to the high moisture content.
Things to Consider When Choosing a Vegan Shaving Soap
Ingredients
Like any product, it’s a good idea to look for shaving soap that contains only vegan, natural, and/or organic ingredients. These ingredients will not have artificial chemicals, pesticides, or preservatives being absorbed into your skin, a major organ in the body. The ingredients will also not contain any animal products or be tested on animals, which is essential for your vegan lifestyle.
From an environmental perspective, using shaving soaps will reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills with plastic and metal shaving containers. Without any harsh chemicals, you will also not be flushing toxic ingredients down the sink when you shave.
Scent
The best shaving soap scent will be based on your personal preferences. Keep in mind that some soap scents will linger for hours or all day. If you are shaving sensitive areas, it may be best to avoid any strong scents, such as peppermint, as this can irritate your skin. On the other hand, shaving soaps with peppermint oil can feel refreshing and cooling after a nice beard or mustache shave.
Foam
If you are used to a rich foam when shaving, it may take some time to get used to shaving with a soap. Most people may not know that the store-bought shaving products use chemicals and gases to produce the foam. This can be harmful to your body and the environment. While you will not have a thick foam, vegan shaving soaps will produce a rich lather that is safer for your skin and our planet.
