Why use a shaving brush to wet shave? Wet shaving provides an especially close shave and is often the answer to ingrown hairs and rash, especially if currently using an electric razor or foam from an aerosol can. Warm water softens the hair and makes your face more supple. It aids the facial hair in becoming more receptive to shaving and makes it easier to remove hairs without irritation. |
|
A shaving brush is warm to the skin and raises the hair for shaving while massaging the face and improving skin circulation. It is kind, cleansing and mildly exfoliating. Using natural glycerin soap removes excess facial oil, is gentle to the skin and leaves your face feeling fresh and invigorated. For sensitive skin, avoid the use of after shaves or products that contain irritating alcohol and harsh ingredients found in many over-the-counter products.

Benefits
of using a shaving brush »
No animal tallow and long lasting lather Finish with a non-irritating after shave or moisture balm as needed and to help restore moisture and your skin's natural acid mantle. Shave, rinse and enjoy. |
To use a shaving brush: Moisten area to be shaved with warm water to soften hairs, thoroughly wet brush, shake off some excess water if necessary, rotate and lather brush over shaving soap (like stirring a cup of coffee, for example) and apply in a back and forth and slightly circular motion to the shaving area - the lather is created on your face.It's all about the water - too much and you get bubble water, too little and you get dry film and insufficient lather. Generally speaking, it is not a thick interfering foam like what is found in store brand shaving canisters, but rather a layer that allows the razor to slide along the face without too much foam to get in the way of a close shave. You can control the amount of lather created by how much water remains in the brush, how much soap is applied to the bristles and the scrubbing motion used on the shaving area. Experiment and you will find what works best for you. Soap or Cream? More info... |

Pre-Shave and Body Oil A special combination of vitamin rich, light, cold-pressed natural oils to soften and protect for a smooth, comfortable shave. Wash face and soften hairs with warm water, massage pre-shave oil onto shaving area and apply lather on top. Use sparingly, a little goes a long way. The oil will be removed during the shaving process. For the best shave, avoid pressing the razor against skin by letting it glide over the shaving area. Shave, rinse, pat dry and apply after shave or moisture balm as usual. Pre-shave oil is especially great for delicate skin or heavy beards. Can be used as a massage oil too! For all skin types. #bc-ps |

Shaving cream For men who prefer this method of application for their shaving needs. While it can be applied with your fingers, it is formulated for the most beneficial and lathery shave with the use of a shaving brush. To apply, put a small dab on the center of the bristle tips and apply to skin in a circular scrubbing motion. Another method is to apply a small dab to the palm and rotate the bristle tips over the cream before use. In addition, some users place a small dab into a shaving bowl or mug and apply to bristle tips similar to the method used for hard soaps. (Em's Glycerin Lather Soap rounds available from the men's toiletries section or here.) |
