Plisson 1808 Rosewood and Chrome Finish & High Mountain White Shaving Brush

For the best shaving experience, it's recommended to shave in the morning, right after a shower and before breakfast. At this time, the hair, primarily made of keratin, is softer and easier to cut, while your facial skin is less sensitive. Start by preparing your shaving foam with a shaving brush and soap or cream. Using "Shaving Preparation" products has two main benefits: it enhances hair hydration by removing its oily layer (sebum) and protects the skin from irritation caused by the blade.

Apply the foam to your damp face using circular motions to help lift and straighten the hair. Shave in the direction of hair growth, minimizing blade strokes to reduce irritation. If a second pass is needed, reapply the foam and shave in the opposite direction. After shaving, rinse your face with cold water and apply an after-shave balm to calm and rehydrate the skin — now you're ready to start your day!

Always check the sharpness of your razor blade and replace it if necessary. After use, rinse the razor thoroughly with warm water to clear away hair and any product residue (like soap or cream) to prevent bacterial buildup. Keeping your blade clean will extend its sharpness and efficiency, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable shave every time.
