Shaving helps keep your facial hair groomed and looking neat, whether you're going for the hairless look or are taming a full beard. The act of shaving can sometimes irritate or dry out your skin. For the best shaving experience and to improve the health and feel of your skin, use skincare shaving products that have been recommended by men's skincare and grooming experts.

Colonel Conk's World Famous Shave Soap

Few shaving products are as budget-friendly and reliable as shaving soap, according to Esquire magazine. The magazine recommends Colonel Conk's shaving soap, praising it for its efficacy--it does a "helluva a job," reports the magazine--and budget-friendly price. As it lubricates your skin surface for a smooth shave, it also conditions your skin with moisturizing avocado oil and soothing vitamin E. Esquire calls the end result the "closest shave of your life."

REN Tamanu High Glide Shaving Oil

GQ magazine's beauty editors praise REN Skincare's shaving oil, saying it helps moisturize your skin while also lubricating it for less traction as you drag a razor across your face. Beneficial ingredients include Camelia sinensis oil, coconut-derived glycerin--glycerin helps hydrate your skin for a smoother and softer look--and coconut oil. If you have sensitive skin, you'll be glad to know that it contains no irritating synthetic fragrances.

Chanel Allure Homme Édition Blanche Anti-Shine Moisturizing After Shave

Give your skin a dose of intensive hydration after shaving with Chanel's after shave cream. Details magazine ranks it as an essential grooming tool to "perfect your skin," saying it also helps reduce shine on your skin surface. A light, masculine scent adds to its allure while moisturizing emollients reduce the tight feeling that's sometimes associated with shaving.

Lather Almond Shave Créme

Esquire magazine featured Lather's shaving cream in its 2009 grooming awards, saying it acts as one of the smoothest-feeling, lightest shaving creams on the market. It comes in a concentrated paste that works up into a creamy lather. As its name indicates, it includes almond oil to help soothe and nourish your skin, along with coconut-based acids and glycerin.
