After Shave Lotions Analysis
There are two different types of shaving lotions, pre-shave and post-shave. Pre-shave lotion is generally preferred when using a shaver before shaving. It facilitates shaving by enabling the hairs to rise from the skin surface.Aftershave lotions are used to refresh and soften the skin after shaving.
