Shaving creams for the scalp are developed specifically for head shaving and form an even, slick layer that helps the razor follow the contours of the head. Depending on the formula, they may be applied directly in a thin layer or lathered with a shaving brush; useful points to compare are glide, how easily the cream rinses from the razor and the feel it leaves on the skin. Choose this format when you want preparation designed around head shaving, and follow the individual product instructions for application and rinsing.
