Abstract: An electric razor preshave composition containing an effective amount of a cationic polymer. The cationic polymer is selected so that, when the composition is applied to hair to be shaven, the cationic polymer clings to each individual hair, and when the composition subsequently dries on the hair, the cationic polymer forms a relatively stiff but pliable coating on each hair. The dry cationic polymer coating makes each hair stay relatively erect during shaving and, in addition, neutralizes static charges on the metal blades of an electric razor so that the individual hairs are not repelled by the razor blades as they are being cut.
