For the ultimate Blade Shave …
The Prep … Wet face with warm water. Rinse your Shaving Brush under the tap using warm water to wet bristles. Shake brush hard once to remove excess water. Swirl brush into Shaving Soap to attract lather. Apply brush to face, starting at the chin, then paint the face in all areas to be shaved. Wash brush again under warm water to remove all traces of soap, shake brush vigorously to remove all water. Hang brush to dry.
The Shave … Using cold water, start at the sides of your face and finish at the chin. The chin whiskers are the toughest, so the longer the soap is on the chin the softer they’ll be and be easier for a close shave. Rinse the face with warm water to remove any soap residue then rinse with cold water to close the pores. Dry the face. Apply the Aftershave Balm not only to the area shaved but the forehead, the neck as well as all facial areas exposed to the elements. Enjoy your day.
Note … Don’t stand the brush on it’s base as moisture will run down the bristles and into the base, the wooden core will swell and the bristles will gradually fall out. Use a proper Brush Stand.
