How to shave: traditional, refined, and effective
- Preparation — Start with a warm shower to open pores and soften facial hair. Build a rich lather using the brush and shaving soap, applying pre-shave oil if desired for extra protection.
- Shaving technique — Hold the skin taut and shave with the grain for smooth results. For a closer finish, you may shave across or against the grain after re-lathering; reapply shaving cream to minimize razor burn. Aim for three passes for maximum smoothness.
- Post-shave — Rinse with warm water, then optionally finish with a cold rinse to close pores and soothe the skin. Apply a fast-absorbing aftershave balm for protection and hydration.
Care and maintenance
Blade care is essential for longevity. Rinse the blade after use, dry it with a soft cloth, and lightly oil the edge to protect against moisture and rust. Store the razor in a dry place. If rust ever appears, do not reuse the blade—replace it to maintain performance.
