Post-foaming shaving gel including poly(ethylene oxide) and polyvinylpyrrolidone in a preferred range of weight ratios

A composition in the form of a post-foaming gel, comprising:

• about 3% to about 20% by weight of said composition of a water-soluble salt of a fatty acid;
• about 0.05% to about 10% by weight of said composition of (a) poly(ethylene oxide), wherein said poly(ethylene oxide) is a polymer having an average of about 60,000 to about 120,000 linked ethylene oxide monomers, and (b) polyvinylpyrrolidone, in a combined amount, wherein said poly(ethylene oxide) and said polyvinylpyrrolidone are present in a weight ratio of about 1:1 to about 1:10;
• and
• about 0.1% to about 10% by weight of said composition of a post-foaming agent comprising a hydrocarbon propellant selected from the group consisting of propane, n-pentane, isopentane, neopentane, n-butane, isobutane, and mixtures thereof,
• wherein said composition has a pH of about 4 to about 10, and
• wherein said water-soluble salt of a fatty acid, said poly(ethylene oxide), said polyvinylpyrrolidone, and said post-foaming agent are combined together into said composition in the form of a post-foaming gel.
