Shaving 101: The step-by-step process

Below is the correct shaving routine, brought to you by the experts… Here are our five easy steps to shaving properly.

Prepare the skin

When shaving, you want to ensure your face is prepared, this simply means clean. Thoroughly wash the area you are grooming, removing any dirt or oils.

Apply the shave cream

Lather your shave cream and apply to the area for grooming. For example, face for beard. Applying a shave cream will help give you a close shave and leave the skin smooth. When it comes to choosing a shave cream, we have three excellent options depending on your needs. For a cooling effect, we recommend our Cooling Shave Cream, for a classic shave, see the Classic Shave Cream and for a luxury experience, try the Palo Santo (Reserve Collection) Shave Cream.

Now – for the main event! The act of shaving. You want a high-quality razor for the best shave possible. With five sturdy blades, our barber grade razor has three comfort coating layers, a coated guard bar and a lubricating pool of our smooth Shave Cream recipe. Each cartridge helps prevent razor burn and irritation while providing an incredibly close and comfortable shave.

Apply a post-shave balm

Post-shaving balm is designed to provide relief and nourishment to the skin after shaving. The cooling effect of menthol and other ingredients in the balm can provide a refreshing sensation on the skin, which can be particularly invigorating after a close shave.

And finally, moisturise

Shaving can strip the skin of its natural oils, leaving it feeling dry and tight. Adding a moisturiser to the end of your routine, with ingredients such as shea butter and aloe vera, helps replenish the skin's moisture barrier, keeping it hydrated and supple.

And there you have it, five simple steps to absolutely smashing your shaving routine.
