1. Preparation
• Wet your face: Splash your face with warm water to dampen your skin and soften your beard hair.
2. Lathering (With a Brush or By Hand)
• Dispense a small amount: Squeeze a small amount (about a pea-sized or fingertip's worth) of the cream onto a wet shaving brush, directly into a shaving bowl, or straight onto your damp face.
• Work into a lather:
• With a brush: Swirl a damp shaving brush over the cream in a bowl or directly on your face in circular motions until a rich, creamy foam builds. Add a few drops of water if the lather needs more moisture.
• By hand: Massage the cream directly onto your damp skin until it forms a protective layer.
3. Shaving
• Shave: Glide your razor smoothly across your damp face in the direction of hair growth. Rinse your razor blade frequently under warm water between strokes.
4. Rinse and Finish
• Rinse off: Wash away any remaining foam with warm water, finish with a splash of cold water to close pores, and gently pat your face dry with a clean towel.
• Post-shave: Apply a moisturizing aftershave balm or lotion if your skin feels dry
