    The Refinery Shave Foam Gel

    As good as a fresh clean shave feels, shaving is not the most enjoyable experience for your skin. Passing a blade along your face even once can irritate the outer layers of the skin, so you can imagine the damage multiple passes can do.

    For this reason, it’s crucial that your shaving foam not only provides the necessary glide to minimise the damage you do to your skin, but that helps to repair the skin and soothe inflammation. The Shave Foam Gel from The Refinery uses soothing Aloe Vera, anti-bacterial Peppermint, and a highly moisturising blend of emollients to give a fantastic shave every time.
