Pre-Shave Guard is designed to be used under Soothing Shave Cream to provide extra comfort while shaving a heavy beard or the head. Cooling camphor softens the hairs and lifts them away from the skin for a close shave while clove flower oil heals and prevents razor burn. Wheat germ and yeast extracts banish the irritation, redness and peeling often caused by shaving, leaving the skin smooth and calm. Free of artificial colors and fragrances, as well as high-alkaline ingredients.
