A wet shave can also reduce your risk of razor bumps and ingrown hairs – these are a lot more likely when you’re taking your razor across a surface that isn’t totally smooth.
Spending some time waking yourself up properly in the morning by splashing your face and making repeated, gentle razor strokes can be quite calming and therapeutic too. Use this time to prepare yourself for the day ahead and practice a little bit of self-care.

It’s a common shaving myth that wet shaving stimulates beard growth. If you’re lucky enough to have the right genes, this might make your facial hair grow a little faster; but otherwise, you’ll simply have to be patient. Discover the truth about more shaving myths.
The Benefits of Wet Shaving with Gillette
Looking for the best wet shave products? Gillette has been at the forefront of wet shaving for over 115 years. Today, we have an extensive range of razors, blades and shaving creams to help you to tailor your wet shaving routine to your unique needs.
Take our SkinGuard Sensitive range, for instance. It includes a razor, blades, a shaving gel and a shaving foam designed especially for sensitive skin. With SkinGuard Sensitive, you can shave in the same way that you always do, but your razor will absorb some of the pressure from your hand, making the process kinder to your skin.
When you choose Gillette products for wet shaving, you no longer need to think about stocking up on refill blades. When you sign up for a Gillette shaving subscription, you can get replacement blades delivered straight to your door, on a cycle that suits you.
If you’re still unsure about which is the best Gillette wet shave razor for you, why not try your Gillette starter kit today? You’ll only pay for postage and packaging for the first two weeks and you can cancel or delay at any time from My Account. With a razor handle of your choice, a blade refill, shave gel, and a travel cover, it’s one of the best wet shave starter kits for your money.
Did you know you can even enjoy a wet shave with your favourite Gillette gadget? The GilletteLabs Heated Razor and our All Purpose Styler and Beard Trimmer are both 100% waterproof, meaning you can get all the benefits of a wet shave, as well as the other great benefits these shavers have to offer.
