Esters with higher material atoms can be used. A mixture of alcohols, on the other hand, is to a greater extent oleogenic reaction products of higher fatty alcohols and ethylene, and so insoluble in the presence of water that lenoxide also shows favorable properties.

Ethyl and isopropyl alcohol are used to produce reversible alcohols, and degradable foams that are as stable as possible are hol. The mixture of 21 used according to the invention, however, is preferable to pressures of 1.05 atmospheres and more. Since up to 34 percent by weight of water and 46 to 64 percent by weight of the propellants used have a relatively high percentage of solubility in alcohol, they have a homogeneous mixture in alcohol and, in the case of mixtures of this mixture, a considerable amount of alcohol is required even with the low types expected in practice , harshest temperatures. causes the solvent to lower the

Propellant vapor pressure to lower values than those of the pure propellant mixtures. Thus for example dichlorodifluoromethane at 23 ⁰ C a pressure of 5.4 atm, while the pressure of 10 grams of the blowing agent in 90 grams of a concentrate with 57 ° / ₀ ethanol at the same temperature for 3.9 atm is.

The invention is described in more detail below by means of examples. The numbers given are percentages by weight, calculated on the total weight of the shaving aid according to the invention.

The main advantages of this composition are that they can also be used at particularly low temperatures remains clear and does not decompose.

The invention is not limited to these examples. Changes to the individual components themselves and their proportions fall within the scope of the invention. Other common ones can also be used Additives are added such as fragrances, antiseptics, dyes, ultraviolet absorbers and the like, others Hydrocarbons or halogenated hydrocarbons can be used in place of the propellants mentioned or to be used together with them. Furthermore, the relative proportions of the individual components of the mixtures can be changed within the specified limits. For example, if at Using a high concentration of lubricant the foam tends to tear, this due to one or more several of the following actions need to be corrected:

Use a more compatible lubricant, change the mixing ratio of Water and alcohol, increasing the proportion of surface former or increasing the pressure.
