In our guide, you will get help to transform your daily shaving into an enjoyable and pleasant ritual. Get the "secrets" behind a close and comfortable shave that will leave your skin smooth and well-groomed.
Preparation for shaving:
The first and most important phase in the "perfect" shave is preparation. A pre-shave oil plays a crucial role in creating a smooth surface and preparing the skin for shaving. By applying a few drops of oil to your palms and gently massaging it into the stumps, you will reduce the risk of irritated skin and scratches. Let the oil sit for a few minutes and then proceed with the next step.
Applying Shaving Cream:
Use a shaving brush and shaving cream to achieve the best possible shave. Although you can apply the shaving cream without a shaving brush, the brush will produce a better lather and a richer cream that is ideal for sensitive skin. Add a little water to the shaving cream to create a lather, then apply with the shaving brush in circular motions so that the lather can be absorbed into the skin. And it doesn't matter that you look crazy professional when you do it either.
Shaving technique:
One of the better tools for a good shave is a Safety Razor , which is designed with a protective element between the blade and the skin to prevent cuts during shaving. When shaving, start with the area of your face that has the least beard growth, such as the edges of your face. Then continue down towards the neck and finish with the area around the chin and mouth. Use slow movements and stretch your skin with your free hand to achieve a close and precise result. After shaving, rinse your face with lukewarm water and finish with a cold water rinse to close the pores. Then pat your face dry with a clean towel.
But why choose a Safety Razor over a regular scraper? There is a good reason for that. A Safety Razor is equipped with a single, extremely sharp double-sided blade, while an ordinary scraper typically has several blades. This means that the Safety Razor is gentler on the skin compared to the scraper, which can hit the skin in several places. In other words, the Safety Razor will reduce the risk of irritation and ingrown hairs. In addition, it provides better control and precision, is economical and environmentally friendly with replaceable blades, and offers a classic shaving experience. The durability also makes it a long-term investment.
More advanced shaving technique:
For the experienced and patient person, our Shaving Knife is the ultimate tool. Make sure the knife is sharp, be careful and take your time to find the right angles. The procedure is otherwise the same as when using the Safety Razor.
After shaving:
Finish the "perfect" shave by applying a moisturizer or aftershave to the shaved area or to the entire face. Enjoy the cooling and healing effect that will soothe your skin after shaving. Avoid products that contain alcohol, as they can dry out and irritate your sensitive skin.
Conclusion:
As mentioned before, the "perfect" shave is not only a matter of removing the beard, but also of creating a pleasant experience that cares for your skin. By following our guide and advice behind a close and comfortable shave, you can transform your daily routine into a real well-being experience.
