How to properly prepare your skin before shaving?

Before shaving, we recommend filling your sink with clean, cold water to rinse your razor blade. Hot water will cause the blade to swell, making it less sharp.

If you have a rather long beard, it's important to start by trimming it as short as possible with scissors or clippers before using your razor. Electric clippers are best for this purpose. Remove the guard and trim your beard completely. Never apply a large amount of lather to a long beard and shave it directly with your razor. Your shave will be painful and rather ineffective.

To prepare your skin for shaving, it is recommended to start by washing your skin as best as possible to avoid infections or irritation. Use a good natural exfoliant (a cosmetic product that removes dead skin cells to smooth the skin) and then wash your skin with soap and warm water. Finally, dry your skin with a clean towel.

Barbers typically heat men's faces with a hot towel to open their pores and soften their beard hair. This allows them to give their clients a closer, more comfortable shave. We recommend using the same technique to replicate this effect. The heat and moisture will soften your beard, raise the hairs, and open your pores.

Using a shaving brush is recommended for applying shaving cream to your skin. Applying shaving cream with a brush will further soften your beard while lightly exfoliating your skin. You can also use your brush to remove trimmed hairs from your blade while shaving, which can be a time-saver.

If you run out of shaving cream, avoid using a bar of soap, which could leave residue on your blade, dull it, and could even rust your blade, even if it is stainless.
