Essential Almost Perfect Black Steel Safety Razor

It's best to shave in the morning, just after showering and before breakfast: the hairs, made up mainly of Keratin, will be softer and easier to cut, and the skin on your face less fragile. Prepare your shaving foam by loading the shaving brush with soap or shaving cream. Using products known as ‘Preparation for shaving’ has a dual objective: it increases the hydration of the hair by ridding it of its greasy layer (sebum) and also protects the skin from the aggression of the blade. Apply the foam to your wet face in circular movements to straighten the hair. Shave in the direction of the hair, limiting the number of strokes of the blade to avoid irritation. If you want to shave a second time, rewash your face and shave again, this time against the direction of the hair. Rinse your face with cool water and apply an aftershave balm to soothe and rehydrate the skin. The day can begin!

Check the sharpness of your razor blade and replace it if it is worn. After shaving, clean the razor with hot water to remove hair and other residues (shaving cream, soap, etc.) to prevent the proliferation of bacteria on the blades. Perfectly cleaned, the blade will retain its sharpness and effectiveness for longer, giving you real pleasure while you shave.
