The Straight Razor Guide

Skin Preparation

To gain the perfect shaving experience skin preparation is the essential factor. The following steps will help you achieve this:

Step one: Rinse your face with hot water, this will help to soften the beard thus ensuring a closer shave. This can be best achieved whilst taking a shower.

Step two: Lather the area to be shaved with a quality badger hair shaving brush using glycerine based shaving cream or shaving soap. By using a circular motion with the bristles of the brush an even lather will be made. This motion lifts the hairs by going against the natural growth of the beard and produces a rich creamy lather that ensures the blade glides effortlessly across your face.
