3 Dangerous Chemicals In Shaving Cream You Don’t Know About

The following article is sponsored by Wadi Men’s Care.

Shaving cream is something that few men think about, and why would they? You rub it on your face whenever you shave, wash it off, and that’s it. So long as it does its job, who cares?

Well, you should care, because your shaving cream is full of chemicals that are reducing your sperm count, damaging your skin, and hurting your body in other ways. Here are three common chemicals found in men’s shaving cream and how they’re harming your health…

1. Phthalates

Phthalates are chemicals that are used to make plastic and vinyl more flexible and softer. They are common in a variety of consumer products, from personal beauty and hygiene products such as shampoo, shaving cream, and nail polish to plastic toys, shower curtains, and insecticides.

More importantly, phthalates have been linked to decreased fertility in men. A study showed that men who used shaving cream containing phthalates had lower sperm counts due to the fact that the chemicals interfered with the proteins responsible for creating sperm. Men across the Western world are already suffering from disastrously low sperm counts, which is contributing to low birth rates in these countries.

If your goal is to maintain a healthy sperm count and masculine vitality, it’s clear that consuming products containing phthalates are part of this. If you want to help preserve your little guys, you should switch to an organic shaving cream that lacks these chemicals.

2. Triethanolamine

Another common chemical found in shaving cream is triethanolamine. Triethanolamine is a viscous organic compound that is used to create mustard gas bombs. It is quite common in personal hygiene and beauty products, including moisturizers and shampoos, due to its effectiveness as a pH balancer. It is also used in mixing cement.

Triethanolamine has been demonstrated to have damaging effects on the skin and body. Studies have linked triethanolamine to various skin allergies, and studies on mice also suggest that it is linked to cancer as well, though this is not conclusive.

When you use shaving creams made from triethanolamine, you are literally rubbing a chemical used to make poison bombs on your skin. Do you really want such a toxic substance in contact with your body? If the answer is no, you should consider switching to a brand of shaving cream that doesn’t run the risk of giving you cancer.

3. Surfactant Chemicals And Propylene Glycol

Finally, most commercial shaving creams contain surfactants and propylene glycol. Surfactants are substances that are responsible for lowering surface tension between liquids and solids, and propylene glycol is a colorless liquid used to create polymers. Both are used in shaving cream in order to help give it its unique texture and make it adhere to the skin more easily.

Like the above-mentioned substances, surfactant chemicals and propylene glycol have adverse effects on the human body. Surfactants have been shown to destroy the skin’s natural ability to hydrate, drying it out and causing it to age more quickly. When combined with other factors that can damage the skin, such as sun exposure, your shaving cream may cause you to look older than you actually are.

As for propylene glycol, it has been linked to a large number of health ailments, from eczema and asthma to kidney problems and skin allergies. This is on top of the health problems that the other chemicals in your shaving cream can cause. Why risk your health by using these dangerous substances?

Say No To Dangerous Chemicals

Masculinity is under assault in the West in every conceivable fashion, including on a dietary and chemical level. The chemicals contained in everything from our hygiene products to our food to the plastic containers we use to store things are full of substances that are decreasing our fertility and turning us into logy, skinnyfat soyboys.

By using products that are organic and lack these chemicals, you can take back your manhood and improve your health. Traditional shaving creams are full of these substances and are one of the many things that are hurting your health.

    1. Whats wrong with using your normal bar of soap to shave with? That’s what I’ve been doing for the past 20 years. Single blade safety razor + soap. no need to waste money on foams or multi blade rubbish. Shave like your ancestors!

      2. Fucking neanderthal. Oh that $12 for a tub of menthol Proraso just kills a guy, huh? Use the toilet water for aftershave?

      3. uhhh soap dries the fuck out of your face, feels terrible as if my face is going to fucking crack!

      4. Mr. Dodds,
        Do you think this might help extend the life of your razor blades?
        http://madeinusaforever.com/hoalrashmain.html
        My husband swears by the California North Razor Shave Cream on there.
        Thank you, Mr. Dodds for your recommendation link as it was extremely helpful and thank you, gentlemen for your helpful outlook on products for men.
        Have a wonderful New Year!

  4. This site is officially cucked with advertisements, weak centrist ideology and censorship.
    You’ve helped shape the manosphere roosh, but now you’re taking 3 steps back to appeal to alt-lite soy-boys.
    The nation (and world for that matter) is polarizing and you’re sitting on the fence hoping to make revenue from sponsored content and pop-up windows nobody clicks on.

    1. Whats wrong with informing people about the dangerous content of skin care products ? I never get anything through ads …
      Buying organic does not equal being a soy boy. Far from it. Or do you want your steak infested with an extra dose of antibiotics and hormones ? Or glyphosate doused cereals ? The amount of crap they intentionally put in our food is astonishing ! And we all wonder why so many people are getting allergies for this and that or just simply getting sick all the time …

    2. Dude, Roosh has even gotten banned from countries, and this site has even been called a stormfront site by those “certain” people out there….cut him some slack.

    4. If you don’t want sponsored content you can always use that Donate button at the top of the page and tithe directly. Everyone has to make a living.

  5. you need none.
    for over 2 years, I’ve done the following, and it served ME better than any shave cream:
    – put face under tolerably hot water; I do this in the shower
    – while face is still hot, apply olive oil; I use extra virgin because that’s also what I eat
    – shave
    far fewer nicks and cuts
    also, the oil is good for the skin
    I don’t even use aftershave, the oil is sufficient for that, too

    1. isn’t it kinda dangerous – you’re not afraid to slip on that olive oil in the shower? or you don’t shave in the shower? I do, that’s why I’m asking.

      1. the olive oil cakes in the shower pan & collects dirt, looks like shit after about three days of even using it as a preshave oil. Massive soap scum inducer

    2. Shave in shower with Proraso & a Gillette platinum loaded in a 1959 Gillette Fat Boy. $12 Body Shop synthetic brush in a wooden Target dip bowl is fine for the cream to lather in. You’re welcome. If you have to slum it, use a Gillette Silver Blue. Piss this organic garbage down the road. You can make your own bay rum aftershave via youtube or get some dank goods from Wet Shaving Products outta Phoenix. Theyre on Amazon.

  7. Great, a sponsored ad. ROK must be getting desperate.
    Yawn.
    I’ve always known this shaving cream hazards on a simple common sensical level. But the specific details are always nice to know.
    you don’t need shaving cream; hot water is sufficient, but I hear coconut oil works well.
    I don’t use shampoo, shaving cream, toothpaste, and only soap once a week. I am fine. My features are great. Fuck all these artificially engineered desires.

  8. The problem with the so-called manosphere is that it collects the cheapest and most pathetic losers, and you can’t sell shit to them. They only gather here to bitch about women who won’t fuck them because they are cheap. So all ads are wasted on them and all advertisers should put their money elsewhere.

    1. It’s hard to take whores like you seriously considering Anglo women’s propensity to fuck unemployed dindus and poor immigrants. Obviously money is no issue to you sluts, so why should we give s fuck about your avaricious nagging woman?
      We’ve got you bitches figured out like a video game; played and discarded.
      You must not be attractive coz hot sluts got better shit to do than bitching on some men’s forum.

    2. lol
      Easy to fuck most women, hard to find one worth marrying.
      Our major problem is you’re all worthless.

    1. Cause they’re too retarded in the field of metallurgy. Blah blah blah Damascus but really, a clean shaven mug smelling dank of rich spices is a staple of Western man, shows your people can produce scalpels & balms to woo the senses of ladies/business. Beards kinda say rock ape from culture that cannot engineer modern plumbing/fathom hygiene.

    1. Yeah that means your blade is dull as fuck bruh, & your process blows. Tough comment though, Alpha Spartan

  11. I dry shave with an electric razor. my line of work doesnt require a clean shave face ever

    1. I’d rather men shaved than look like patch-beard jiahdis.
      Social expectations of shaving seem to be positively correlated with better social standards in general.

  15. I shave my head, and so I have gone through a lot of razors and quite a bit of shaving cream over the past decade.
    Moisturizing cream works fairly well, which is what I use when I run out of shaving cream and have not gone to the store. In fact, I can use it indefinitely.
    Moisturizing cream may gunk up the blades more, but I shave in the shower which allows me to immediately and effectively clean the blades as I go. I suggest it for men. Bonus: my head and face are moisturized after I get out.

  16. I’ve been using a bar of soap to shave with for about 5 years. Started out of desperation cause I ran out of cream one day. I never looked back. A regular old bar of soap is miles better than shaving cream. I recently had to use some shaving cream at a friends place and the experience was terrible. Soap provides more lubricant and a bar lasts for months. Shaving cream is a ripoff.

  17. Propylene glycol? Baaaahahaaahah!
    PG is totally edible dumbass. It’s bee in food for years. Nice try.
