HOW TO SHAVE LIKE A PRO.

PREPARE YOUR SKIN

1

The best time to shave is after you’ve washed or exfoliated your skin, preferably after your shower. Steam softens hair making it easier to shave.

MIX SHAVE SOAP

2

Using a warm, wet shave brush, work the shave soap inside the bowl until a thick, creamy lather forms. Add water gradually as needed, then apply evenly to your beard before shaving.

APPLY SHAVE SOAP

3

Using a quality shave cream or shave soap will lubricate and protect your skin from the blade, lessening irritation. Add water to rehydrate as needed. Use a shave brush to lift facial hair & more evenly disperse the lather.

TIME TO SHAVE!

4

Using a fresh blade, start shaving in the direction of your hair growth at a 30 degree angle. Hold your razor firmly and use short strokes letting the razor do the work. Don’t add pressure or push the blade into your skin (tread lightly with slow, short mindful strokes). The heavyweight safety razor should glide across your skin.

LIP & CHIN

5

Shave these tough spots last after your hair has been softened. Use your free hand to stretch your skin, creating a flat area for your blade to shave. When shaving around the lips, nose and chin, tread lightly and try to flatten the area by straightening your skin, using your free hand if necessary.

GO WITH THE GRAIN

6

The neck area can be challenging since hair grows in different directions around the Adam’s apple. Shave with the grain for your first pass for less irritation. Some people like to re-lather and shave again against the grain for a second pass, but if you have sensitive skin, skip this step.

APPLY POST SHAVE BALM

7

Finish by applying Wild Willies Post Shave Balm. These products contain healing, toning and moisturizing ingredients to keep skin feeling its best. Consider using an alum block as an antiseptic to tighten your skin and treat minor nicks.
