ESSENTIAL STEPS
Prepare

- Use a pre-shave essential oil to prepare your hairy face and provide for a smooth razor glide.
Lather Up
- Use a badger brush to apply your favorite shaving cream or lather up with some traditional shaving soap (using a badger brush will give you a thicker, richer, and more emollient lather).
Shave
- Dip a clean, sharp blade in hot water, avoid applying pressure, and shave wit the grain.
- Rinse your blade often.
- if you require a closer shave, re-lather and gently shave against the grain.
