Directions

Directions for a traditional wet-shave:

• Shave during or after a hot shower
• Give your shaving brush a good soaking with hot water
• Shake the brush a bit--you want it wet, not waterlogged
• Take the brush and swirl it over the surface of the soap to generate a rich lather--it will be bubbly at first but as you swirl the lather will become thicker
• Apply the rich lather with the brush until it covers all the areas you want to shave.
• Shave with the grain of your beard
• For a very close shave, you can re-lather and shave very gently across the grain
• Rinse with cold water
• Apply an After-Shave Balm or a Beard Oil or even a Facial Oil to moisturize your skin
